Melissa is wonderful. I can’t wait for new episodes on her latest work. So I’ve known her for years and love how she combines her work as a social worker to compassionately work with families and survivors of violence to try to solve cold cases. She approaches families who have been through trauma with great sensitivity and empathy. This podcast is engaging and so interesting and I highly recommend!

I love the personal feel of being present in the mind of Melissa Sandberg as she delves into this unsolved and mostly forgotten case. Kudos to her for digging for the truth.

I love the logo, theme, vibe, message, music, storytelling and tenacity of Melissa’s first ever podcast. If these other reviewers could do better, let’s hear it and tag us here. Don’t listen to them. Just check out this podcast and it sounds like it’ll get closure. Let’s Go Dog With A Bone!!! Keep doing what you do!

It’s highly evident that Melissa genuinely cares about helping Bernie’s family find the answers they’ve been seeking for far too long. I look forward to hearing more as the season progresses!
