The Frankston Murders - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I like a lot of listeners consume a lot of true crime. This far and away is the best I’ve ever heard. There was clearly an exceptional amount of interviewing and research put into this and that’s what makes this podcast so good. I most appreciate how the creator of this podcast Vikki Petraitis painstakingly documented the many many encounters the killer had with people before he killed — being a nuisance, harassing, creeping, crowding, offending, tormenting, and terrorizing dozens of people (probably more) over the years he was a free child and man.

I’ve also never listened to a podcast that so profoundly made me care about the victims. For me the story of Elizabeth is the most heartbreaking because my early childhood shared similarities with hers. What a tragedy her work to make a good life for herself as she entered adulthood was destroyed.

Very thought provoking. An exceptional podcast.

The pace and layout of this podcast were excellent! Plenty of details without getting “lost in the margins”. Informed, complete reporting while honoring the victims and their families.

I’ve listened to many, many true crime series, but very few have been as impactful, as effective, and as compassionately told as this one. At the conclusion I’m left with the families, friends, and the girls’ stories above all else. The story of community and the work of the police, it’s lasting impact on them and the wider community, will be something that stays with me for a long time to come.

This podcast was well researched, well organized, and very well done. A chilling series of crimes that I didn’t know about before and the sick, twisted individual behind them.
