Correction: Alayne Katz has brought to our attention that on the morning of Gail and Bob's wedding day (August 29th, 1982) Bob did not stay at their apartment as reported in the podcast, instead he stayed at his parents house in New Jersey. In the morning Gail traveled from her parents house, in Long Island, to their Manhattan apartment where she met with Ouidad to get her hair done. Ouidad did not come out to Long Island as reported.

Customer Reviews
Well done
I really appreciate that the victims were a huge part of this podcast. So often it’s the killer that gets all the attention and the victims really do deserve so much more.
Problems with the host
This was a very interesting podcast. My heart is broken for Gail and her family. I have a difficult time with the thought that the host, Carole, refused to testify to the grand jury. She only testified at trial because she was forced. Later, she said, “We got him!” Who is “we”? Now, she is making money on a podcast when she was unwilling to help convict him. So bizarre. Also, there are a ridiculous amount of ads.
Too many ads
I enjoy the story and like the host. There are an insane amount of ads packed into the 30 minute episodes and the intro music is god awful. RIP Gail.
