I am enjoying your podcast very much but, the episodes are barley anything. Why are they not somewhat longer? Maybe next one .

The telling of this who done it, is a very well told tragedy, keeping me engaged with every episode and tugging at my heart strings for the loved ones of the victim of this awful crime. The most glaring question that may have helped exonerate Foster immediately is, was a simple gun shot residue...Read full review »

Eh
Unfortunately this is basically just an episode of the first forty eight stretched to its thinnest mixed with some additional case update to make it in to a multi episode podcast. It definitely all could have and probably should have just been a one episode ir show or at the most a two parter. ...Read full review »

I couldn't continue this Podcast. Then I read a review and realized there are several others who feel the same way. Makes me wonder if the podcaster has ever listened to a podcast herself. Listening to detectives talking, actual interviews, phone ringing, etc, very distracting. How about...Read full review »

Bad
What happens when you mix CRT training with low IQ police work. This crap.

… for that series.

I think that more looking needs to go into this “ witness”.
ashpaulwall via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/10/22
I don’t want to give too much away. It’s interesting in that it remains unsolved and most people don’t know about it, so by all means get the info out there. But the story is not unique, doesn’t provide any further leads, and the poor victim’s family - the O’Brien’s - are mixed up in the most...Read full review »

Moving podcast about the grim realities of finding a killer with little to go on except false leads. The journalist is particularly good at conveying aspects of the case. The victim, his family and friend are all caught up in a nightmare that could happen to anybody.

Loved this, such a sad story but will really well told by the narrator and the family, I hope one day they will find who did it ❤️
Kate Abz via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/11/21
I was initially really interested in this story, but it is so hard to listen to, literally, not because of the story itself, but all the background noise, it’s just too much, so loud that I couldn’t hear some of what was being said, and very distracting. Just couldn’t get past it to continue to...Read full review »

The reporter captured the feelings on the side of the police officer ,the friend of the family, and also the eyewitness to the murder. Will subscribe to more of this type of reporting stories
Frack Frick Dewey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/19/21
Story just doesn’t really seem to “go” anywhere. Episodes are too short too. Each could be coupled with another and it’d be better and easier to get into.
POD Mike via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/10/21
One of the worst podcasts that I’ve listened to. Kept waiting for there to be some kind of twist or something. Never happened.
JoeP1901 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/21
Not the best told story I’ve listened too but good all the same. Worth a go.
Father_newman via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/22/21
Meh
Meh. We’ve heard better and we’ve heard worse in terms of production value. The main things that bothered us was the volume changes and the sound bite of a ringing phone that they kept using.
zack and amanda via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/28/20
Very good. Very sad. Loved it. Kept me intrigued.
Rocque Leigh Grandstrand via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/30/20
Far too manyepisodes for a story that could have been told in 1 episode; has no resolution; reporter tells you in the first episode that Forest is charged and released- so there’s little reason to keep listening. Could have been done much better!!
kwig2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/15/20
I thought the above review was a little harsh. My take is this women did a good job. Yes, you are correct that the murder was not solved but so much more was learned. Humanity and the choices we make in the wake of tragedy. These sisters are inspiring in the way they have moved forward and have...Read full review »
why arent you taking my name via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/11/20
1) Could have been told with much more impact in one episode. 2) the reporter actually notes at the beginning that the attraction in this case was that the family was white and privileged. Huh? 3) the only compelling character in this whole story was the detective. I realize a reporter’s job is...Read full review »
PW from GR via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/02/20
I have questions to this? Why haven’t you opened this up to a question and answer for the listeners? This might help looking at an angle from multiple perspectives. For instance, did someone show Forrest a picture of the first witness? You all interviewed the 1st witness and you didn’t sneak a...Read full review »

Interesting, well produced, intriguing story, short eps, great all round listen!
Sara_Teece via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/31/20
Ugh
Serious waste of time. Seven episodes that could easily have been a single hour, and it went nowhere.
Satchicat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/27/20
Decent overall
Stuggghggg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/17/20
The episodes are so short they are hard to get into. The first episode had a big revelation but then nothing generally happens. After listening, I didn’t see a point to this podcast other than a sad story.
jbird138 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/16/20
This is great thanks for sharing and also love the title it makes tons of sense
Lucy Greer Kirkpatrick via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/31/20
Why did it leave cliffhangers saying a phone call was going to release forest
grookey136 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/29/20
Very well produced. Gripping story.
Martin Pounds via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/26/20
Loved it! Thank you so much for sharing this story
BEWillow via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/21/20
I really love the way that this podcast was conducted, My question is, how come Forrest wasn’t shot, why would killers leave a witness?
74 jam via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/19/19
Excellent journalism and telling of this tragic and heartbreaking story. Thank you to the family O'Brien, Kiely and all at ABC and Kenny Silvia for allowing us to understand this unresolved murder. I hope the publicity turns up some evidence that will allow all involved to gain some much...Read full review »

Please. How many POCs lives ruined by being arrested and still being innocent. But let’s not ruin this white guys life.
salviceebee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/28/19
The story never really comes together. The episodes seem disjointed and as soon as we think we’re going to get a little excitement it falls flat. Not horrible but not something I would recommend.
afirechick via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/08/19
Needed to be told, so sad for the family!
Adub0602 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/19/19
A ridiculously thin pretence for a podcast. A 10 year old mugging with three witnesses. The podcast presents how little evidence there is in this cold case. Tracks down two of the witnesses 10 years later, confirm the statements they made 10 years ago and there’s your podcast. They drag this out...Read full review »
Steve Reboatta via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/09/19
Each episode is about 15 minutes, interesting story just too short of episodes
gracenumberonefan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/19
I really got hooked from the first episode. The narrator is an excellent storyteller and everything was made perfectly. A must-listen podcast!!
Ash_8997 via Apple Podcasts · Egypt · 07/19/19
Interesting case to listen to!
Kem010 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/18/19
Would have given 5 stars but the episodes were too short. Great story although quite sad.
hfsetbxdyk via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/10/19
Very sad for this family, why is the cause of the brother and mother’s death glossed over? It’s just another unanswered question for listeners
vanillaj1 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/07/19
It’s a simple story of a mugging (told well) but with no conclusion of who the murder is.
Anderson_alp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/03/19
I just found this story...I get bored easily with podcasts but this one was amazing...every second! I couldn’t wait to listen to the next one but wanted to savor the episodes. Hearing the recordings from that time was so intriguing and sad but hearing all the police dispatches, interviews made...Read full review »
Nndnej via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/17/19
First of all, there is far too much of the reporter inserting herself into the story. How this has affected her, and how wide an impact this murder has had for her life. It's not her story. Secondly, (of some potential social edification), there's a glimpse inside the inherent bias of...Read full review »
bjhex via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/12/19
The telephone ringing was too campy and far too often used. The sound effects and background reminded me of the stooges. Not what you want in crime podcast and certainly not very honorable to the poor man who is dead.
CValM via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/10/19
Very enjoyable. So what it it was short. It did out my interest
love a good podcast via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/06/19
This is a great podcast - clear, concise, easy to follow. Very sad for the family involved.
MDunatov via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/26/19
Story is well told. The only thing that I could think about the whole time, however, is how the murder of the victim (white man whose last name is O’Brien) was pursued for years by the police in an effort to bring justice and healing to the family. How many poor people of color die in the...Read full review »

Make me want to listen. Voice droning on.
Sibtut via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/07/19
Ten minutes into the podcast, I have no idea what the story is. I’m Glad to meet the players in the story, but make me want to know them based on the story. What happened?
Revjangle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/19
I agree with others that the content runs up short. I think the first witness is the perp. It’s not uncommon to involve oneself in the investigation-he admitted he hung around to gather more information. He told conflicting accounts, he matched the description. He can obviously tell believable...Read full review »
