Not Sure It’s Worthy Of A Series

Interesting story but they really drew it out to make it a series and then it ends without great resolution.

Wow

This story was gripping, shocking and devastating. Those poor parents. I just can’t imagine all they’ve been through and they are still standing.

I haven’t listened yet but…

I watched a new show about this when I was younger and never got to find out how it ended, I’m kinda glad I was able to find a way to get my ending, it’s probably not over yet but I’m happy my love for true crime is going to help me solve a childhood mystery
