CRÍMENES REALES
SERIE COMPLETA

When April Balascio was 40 years old, something she’d feared for decades was finally proven true. Her father, Edward Wayne Edwards, really was a murderer. The Clearing is about what came after April called a detective in 2009 to tell him about her suspicions — a call that led to her father’s arrest and eventual conviction on multiple murders — and tracks the emotional journey as she and host Josh Dean dig back into her childhood, unravel the truth of her father’s life, and overturn a viral online narrative that had turned Edward Wayne Edwards into a kind of serial killer caricature. Produced by Pineapple Street Studios in association with Gimlet.

Very compelling story, and the storytellers recognize and protect the dignity of the very many victims. I’d subtract only half a star because the music is strangely inappropriate at pivotal, poignant moments—when you’d expect a cello or a piano, there’s a dippy clarinet or oboe.

Could’ve been an interesting story if presented better. It needed another host that new how to professionally speak and communicate. The host kept mispronouncing Louisville and his delivery was a sleep inducing monotone.
Incredibly captivating
