Unraveled

I found Unraveled before the LISK murders became household names. The hosts have brought a wealth of professionalism to the often tawdry “storytelling” found in the True Crime genre. The LISK cases captivated me, in the complexity, repetition, and corruption that allowed a killer/s to operate for many years without detection. Journalist Alexis Linkletter has crafted a series that digs deep into each season’s topic case, and continues to present some of the most riveting, digested and understandable researched information on LISK as it continues to develop. I never imagined that these cases would be solved, and that possibility seems closer and closer with every episode. The charges against Rex Heuermann are extensive, and still evolving. There are many other related avenues that I would appreciate Unraveled investigating, such as the involvement of police and DA departments in alleged participation and coverup of these murders, and the alleged hosted gatherings that perpetuated the degradation of sex-workers, setting the scene for murders and coverups to occur and continue. Not for the squeamish!

The last episode in which they let a bunch of biased talking heads distort the dna science.

Interesting subjects, well researched. But the audio levels are all over the place. One minute, straining to hear what’s being said. The next, ears are blasted off. Too much time spent working the volume button. Considering ditching from the library. Also, seems a lot of these podcasts are on Fast Forward, sped up a notch or two. Voices are distorted, elf-like. Why?

Very well researched and written in a timeline format that one can follow. The episodes don’t leave “hanging”. This is SO well thought out in an investigative manner. You really do need to start with the first episode.
