I’m not in Canada and I got completely sucked in. Laura delves right in. She doesn’t sugar coat the people involved and asks the uncomfortable questions. I also appreciate that she doesn’t selfishly dramatize or false report. She unrolls the facts in a uniquely palatable storytelling manner. I’m in for the next 4 seasons!

One of the best true crime podcasts out there! Gets straight to the point and speaks clearly and not robotic. You hear from the victims loved ones but not too much where it’s the whole episode. Really good podcast!!

I am glad I stumbled on this podcast. I’m listening to season five right now. The story is very interesting, intriguing and human. The host doesn’t just focus on the story, but also tries to give background on the individuals involved. Their feelings, motivations, fears, faults and lives.

There is just one thing that stopped me from giving this five stars. It’s the unnamed witnesses and the reporter from episode one. My problem is not that they are unnamed, my problem is that there is quite a bit of exaggeration with a few of them. I feel that they are taking the fact that their identity is hidden, voice is altered and the fact that a few of the most dangerous individuals in this story are dead to create an opportunity to exaggerate. In addition I can tell that they inflate their importance and level of friendship in the victims’ lives. The reporter from episode one is so melodramatic and over the top. So, that kind of makes it hard for me to believe them. However, the host does not play into it, she merely moves to another topic or presses them on their exaggerated statements.

I finally started this podcast after finishing so many others... I heard this pod was good, but the negative reviews deterred me. Now I wish I hadn't waited to give it a listen — the problem is with the reviewers, not the host. This pod is excellent. I started with season 5, now working my way back. Love it.

This podcast can’t be called investigative journalism. I listened to season 5 over the course of about a week. When I finished, I went back and checked to make sure I didn’t somehow skip/miss some episodes…nope, there just wasn’t any meat to this story. The whole season is comprised of a few interviews with the family & friends of victims, explaining who they were and what their life had been like. There’s almost zero info about the crime itself, what lead up to it, leads the police had, etc etc…nothing! I kept thinking that the journalist would get to the actual story, but she never did. I won’t waste my time with the other 4 seasons.

Great subject matter, very sad case and I thought the host was educated about the case and did a thorough job researching and reporting. However (and unfortunately this However pretty much negates all of that good stuff I just wrote), the middle episodes of like 3-9 are pretty much pointless droning on and on about baseless theories and random people that are barely connected to the case. Very lazy storytelling. I had to turn it off in episode 7 because I was so bored…it sounded almost like raw audio of interviews about a brown a van and if a close relative could be involved— 2 angles that she already told us were totally unrelated. Blah blah blah
