“I’ve been listening to this on and off over the past year, and found it extremely interesting as a journalism student at the time of writing (April 2024). Local Politics is something I find to always get overshadowed by the larger political conversations - the same way in the UK as the US, I...”Read full review »

“I’ve been looking for a true crime podcast for a while now about a story that hasn’t been endlessly discussed between two or three hosts that are seemingly reading from a Wikipedia page and Dead End was it. Nancy’s reporting is thorough and thoughtful, the production quality is very good, and...”Read full review »

“Thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. I also hope it re-opens questions about the case and provides some solace to the Sheridan family. It’s clear corruption in New Jersey has reached new heights. Thanks to WNYC for opening our eyes and ears to this story.”

“Excellent Podcast. The investigative work that was done on this piece it just the “tip” of the ICEberg!!
Thank you so much for this.
So many people did not know that NJ is only one of a small number of states where the Attorney General is appointed by the sitting Governor - NOT the people if...”Read full review »

“This is excellent and is done in the same vein as Serial which is the reason I turned into a true crime junkie and I’m pretty sure most of America also headed down the same path. It is done by a professional and has plenty of inside baseball information from family and friends. I’m so over two...”Read full review »

“There is much omitted from this “investigation.” Facts about the personal health, dynamics, and relationship of the Sheridans are missing. Exactly why the police labeled this a murder / suicide is not revealed, either by the police or the reporter.”

Shame on politicians who cave at the sign of influence, money, or...”Read full review »

“Because the release of the new episode follows the research, I feel like I’m in the room real time. Although I’m not from New Jersey, the players and perhaps suspects are national figures which has the effect of localizing the story. Finally the author is a great storyteller able to walk that...”Read full review »

“…that still deserves a solution.
Looking forward to updates as the NJ AG & FBI conduct investigations into both the murders and the shameful excuse for an initial investigation.
Fingers crossed family and friends find justice and peace.”

“A tragic story worthy of this tremendous narrative produced by WNYC & Nancy Solomon. After 8 years, the slow wheels of justice now seem to be turning once again to properly investigate the Sheridan’s double murder. Beyond the NJ AG re-opening the original investigation, a 2nd investigation...”Read full review »

“… I’m calling it quits after E6. The story of the crime and the incompetence of the investigation were fascinating. But E5 & E6 we’re a deep dive into NJ political corruption without a clear linkage to the murders. Just boring. I’m out.”
