The Deck Investigates
"The Deck Investigates" returns with Season 2, delving deep into the perplexing case of Ada Haradine, a 40-year-old mother of two who vanished without a trace from her Elkhart, Indiana home on a seemingly ordinary Wednesday afternoon in May 1985. Over 14 gripping episodes, we meticulously reconstruct the events leading up to Ada's disappearance, exploring the initial efforts to find her and the myriad of suspects and theories that emerged in the wake of her vanishing. The investigation takes a dramatic turn when Ada's remains are discovered three years later in a wooded area 12 miles from her home, transforming a missing persons case into a homicide investigation. As law enforcement scrambles to make sense of new evidence, the focus shifts to surprising potential suspects, including Ada's neighbor. Through exclusive interviews with family members, law enforcement, and key witnesses, "The Deck Investigates" grapples with questions about the challenges of pursuing justice decades after a crime. Join us as we peel back the layers of this baffling cold case, reexamine old leads, and shine a light on overlooked details in the quest to finally answer the question: Who killed Ada Haradine, and why?

The investigation by Ashley and team is riveting! I’m now so invested in this case all because of this podcast. I’m a true crime junkie and I’ve never heard this case before. So sad to see how flawed the original investigation was and still is by “officials”. Episode 14 blows me away. Had to listen twice as I thought I misunderstood. Go Team AudioChuck!!
Meh

Ashley is a great storyteller, but this doesn’t need to be 10+ episodes long, especially if those episodes are only 15 minutes each, and 5 of those minutes are ads. Make one long CJ or Deck episode instead. Plus, the constant ad breaks ruin the story. 3 ad breaks in a 15 minute episode is WILD. Get your bag, I guess, but geez, if I wanted to hear nearly constant ads I’d listen to talk radio.
Love what yall do

Love the storytelling and the depth yall get into but I’d rather get an hour and a half/ two hour pod than 15 min episodes. AND THREE AD BREAKS IN 15 MINS IS DISRESPECTFUL

I enjoy Ashley’s voice and how she tells a story, it is top-notch. What is not top-notch is the armchair detectives recycling stories and reports and passing it off as investigative work on an unsolved case. Why does Ashley not apply to become a LEO? She clearly has some skills that could transfer to police work. I truly don’t understand the police bashing. Do a ride-along with a police department and see if you could last a shift before you judge police.
Not worth 5 stars

Season one was so so so good, I really enjoyed the heart they put into each of the episodes, the details and making sure we are receiving as much information as possible to get it solved for the family and Darlene. If I could give season one 5 stars I would. However, season two I felt that the story was rushed, grasping at straws and just overall not a good way to explain the case that deserves to be solved. I love all of AudioChucks shows, I listen everyday. But this season was disappointing, I know that’s it not fair to the victim or to their family’s who have lived with this every day. I wish there was more information, more details, longer episodes. I saw a comment that stated this could of been a 2-parter on CJ and I agree. You could of at least gave Ada the same effort you put into Darlene’s case. Season 1 is 5 stars, I’d say season 2 is a solid 1-2 stars :(
Make this a crime junkie episode

These episodes would culminate into a long CJ episode. It’s really not necessary to make this 10+ episodes. Let’s test some evidence and figure it out. The investigators were clearly grabbing at straws and hyper focused on things that were not substantive (to be clear, I am sure they were doing their best, but I don’t think we need to go down all those rabbit holes too).
Meh

14 minute episodes are useless. You have broken this up so much in attempt to stretch it that the story has gotten lost, and quite frankly I have no idea what is going on. Save yourself the time and annoyance and just listen to the last episode of season 2. Ashley Flowers is at least not quite as annoying in this one as she is on Crime Junkie, which is insufferable. It’s cute she pretends to be an investigator.
Agree with other listeners

Season 2 was tough to get through. Because these short, rather superficial episodes were dropped two per week, I quickly lost track of the threads and found each new installment confusing and got distracted by other things. The Haradine family deserves more focus and care than this.
