The Butterfly Effect: True Crime

This podcast is clearly done with heart and a lot of very genuine care. I have heard the host speak about the case in person and it is obvious that the podcast is being made with no greater intent than giving someone back their name. So refreshing to see such passion behind a project like this!

Excellent Real True Crime Podcast.The approach to this podcast is very respectful,thoughtful and informative.This particular case has so many potential “what if’s” and enormous questions about what Really happened to this poor girl,it’s more than a open/shut suicide case.I Love the content and will listen to every episode closely.Keep up the Great work and don’t lose faith.

This podcast has been a breath of fresh air. In a world of sponsored, over-produced true crime content that seems more focused on turning a profit than doing good in the world, this is a breath of fresh air. Maxine comes at this case with a palpable earnestness to see questions answered and to help this young Jane Doe get her name back. It’s been a real treat listening to her journey and I’m sure this will have a hand in seeing this case solved. This young woman is going places and I can’t wait to see what is next from this show.

The host of this pod confesses early on not to be a professional, only a concerned voice, but from some “professional” true crime pods I’ve seen, she’s as professional if not more, and certainly more sensitive. Jaded true consumers like myself need frequent reminders of the real lives at the heart of such media and this podcast doe’s exactly that, painting a picture of a life interrupted and a young woman worth knowing beyond her mystery. The tireless effort at the heart of the investigation comes through in every episode as the host urges people, urges us to care about the unknown, and not to accept the “missing missing”; everyone deserves a name and dignity. A must-listen for both jaded and new true crime consumers.
