David has the most sympathetic and persistent approach. He is skilled, patient and gives an elaborate explanation.
Randomly came across this podcast and it’s just so good. Not sensationalistic, just well researched storytelling and great interviews.
So many true crime podcasts should study this series. How it’s edited, how story is structured… it’s crafted with skill and care, the journalist actually uncovers facts through INVESTIGATION which forces action to be taken. Narration is decent enough but it’s smart and empathetic and I really wish there were more producers who had similar standards.
Constantly impressed by David's professionalism and undramatic coverage of a fascinating case. Thorough, thought provoking and smart reporting. I'm a fan.
I just got to the end of season nine and realize that the season finale is behind a paywall. I can’t believe that I listened to the entire series and now I have no idea how it ends because the final episode is behind a pay wall. If I would’ve noticed that in the beginning I never would’ve listened to this series. Be warned unless you’re paying you won’t actually be able to know how the story ends, very disappointed.
I have listened to a lot of true crime podcasts over the years and this one is by far the worst. Every cardinal podcasting sin you can think of, this series commits. 30 minutes of actual true crime stretched out into 10 hours? Check. Hours of unnecessary interviews that lead to nothing? Check. Glacial pacing? Check. Attributions of malice and wrong doing to a new person every episode only to exonerate them the next episode? You got it. Do they actually solve the case? Hah, of course not. What makes this podcast truly terrible though is the narrator, David. To be clear, this is not a podcast about a child abduction. This is a podcast about a man child who is either genuinely seeking self actualization through a 40 year old child abduction cold case, or who is cynically using said tragedy for self aggrandizement. Nothing about this series is journalism; everything is told through David’s perspective and we get to hear every inappropriate, irrelevant anecdote that comes to his mind. David tells us how he felt personally called to solve this case because he grew up in the same town. He frequently uses language invoking destiny and fate to aggrandize insert himself into the story of this child’s abduction. He tells us about his dreams. His DREAMS! Over and over again David bemoans “oh what am I doing trying to solve this 40 year old case!” But nonetheless conveys a strong, conceited sense of purpose that he will finally bring closure to the victims parents. Spoiler alert: he doesn’t. What he succeeds at is using their child’s abduction for his own gain. This podcast is his journey and quite frankly I find it cynical, self indulgent and disgusting.
