As someone who grew up hearing about the Norcross’s all the time because I was a resident of Camden in the 80s-00’s, its about time someone is shedding light into the corruption. Believe me, in Camden city and Camden County there is plenty to go around! I hope to see more series like this from...Read full review »

As a recent transplant to the Garden State I am listening to Nancy's outstanding archive. She was already a favorite of mine among WNYC's top talent. What an incredible story that needs telling. Looking forward to the next development as this podcast has helped keep the case alive.Read full review »

I can’t recommend this podcast enough. It’s riveting and thrilling. It’s one of the all-time greats

Hope to hear more...

Another “investigative” journalist trying to outwit the police. Sure the police are not infallible, but investigative journalists are not scientists. They are out to prove something because they disagree with the police when they do not have the resources of the police. They seldom shed much...Read full review »

The investigative reporting is clear and she doesn’t hesitate to work to get to the bottom of things, even if it angers people in high places.

Well crafted and as disturbing as it is fascinating. Do give it a listen!

I am not American and this podcast is an eye opener to how corrupt the Americans political system really is. Excellent podcast and in admiration of the research that has gone into making it.

Terrific reporting, more relevant than ever.
@DaveDaviesWHYY via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/24/24
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 »

So so interesting. Also, Nancy’s voice is incredibly soothing. Nancy please do more podcasts! Oxo

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.

Meh
Unsubscribed in episode four

A deep look into a murderous mystery and New Jersey politics. A detailed and compelling story.
Dr. Fatsides via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/15/23
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 »

Great journalism and great storytelling.
Cooptwn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/09/23
So well produced and told. Loved the lack of bias and how stories are woven together. WELL DONE!!!
Hisoccermom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/08/23
This really showed the ins and outs of NJ politics and the murders of the Sheridans
Janice 016 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/31/23
Just an unsolved murder crying for large meaning
Millie Rock. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/27/23
Great look at how big monied investors work with politicians and one another to control real estate and community assets.
emaleigh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/11/23
I work at the former Coopers Ferry. It’s wild to me that I HAD NO IDEA, that all this happened here! Thanks for the information!!!
Tatiav via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/23
This is an excellent podcast. Well with the listen. I can’t wait for the next one from Nancy.
MarshkatNC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/07/23
Juicy subject matter wasted by a big commercial studio. Repetitive, meaningless silences, terrible microphones, softball interviews… this family deserves better
Bryzness Man via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/05/23
Packed with information without ever becoming too wonky. A great and relevant listen.
Mara ak via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/23
As has ever been true, follow the money which is lining pockets. This is a terrific podcast, but I am SO happy I don’t live in New Jersey.
Chianne61 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/25/22
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 »
Maggie May 26 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/22
I was not familiar with the tragic story of the Sheridans until I listened to the Dead End podcast from NYC Studios. Nancy planned and executed some amazing and diligent research, resulting in producing and narrating an excellent podcast. Thank you for covering the story and sharing it via the...Read full review »
GJ in ALX via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/22
Finally a podcast by a serious journalist who presents this compelling story without adding any personal, ridiculous commentary. Best podcast in the crime category I have listened to…and I’ve listened to a lot!
foxgyrl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/29/22
I found this story to be too padded with lots of extraneous (& boring) info eg Attorney General’s office, Jimmy Hoffer (what relevance, really??!). Would’ve been much better and more interesting to get rid of all the distractive rabbit trails that went no where and just kept to the facts of...Read full review »

What a web! So sad for the family. This program was so well done. Great narration and very impressed by her ability to keep all items clear while telling the listener about all the insanity that is NJ politics.
Sfitzie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/25/22
Very good, recommend to listen to. Great research on important topics, sensitively told with respect to the victims and the family.
annapodana via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 08/25/22
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.
World traveler.... via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/27/22
Bravo team! I am sure this series took a lot of work and threads. I feel sad that this is still a dead end and will follow the pod cast site to hopefully see if closure for the Sheridan family is ever rightfully provided. Shame on politicians who cave at the sign of influence, money, or...Read full review »

As a New Jersey resident, it was infuriating to hear just how corrupt the “system” is. Thank you for the information you uncovered and shared with the rest of us!
Bluntslipknot via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/25/22
Thank you for uncovering the formerly unchallenged points about this case. This story also reveals the often overlooked differences between states and their political procedures. My heart grieves for this family’s tragedy.
prsand via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/23/22
Thank you for conducting such an important investigative piece. You lay out the story fairly, compellingly and chillingly. Kudos to you and all involved.
Sarah G from SJ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/17/22
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 »
IwannaBnice via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/16/22
…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.
Lulululu1959 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/15/22
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 »

What an amazing work of journalism. This is investigative reporting at its finest. I hope and pray this case will vindicate Mr Sheridan who, by so many accounts, was greatly admired and respected. My heart goes out to his sons and grandchildren and I pray justice will be done to his memory....Read full review »
Chnvaldez via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/14/22
Nancy Solomon is a terrific reporter and I have always enjoyed her on WNYC. Dead End goes deep into NJ politics - a crazy place which deserves our attention.
knitty2200 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/13/22
Probably more interesting for those from Nj/south jersey than the wider public. Citizens of the state have come to acknowledge and accept corruption in politics — really its an open secret for most of us, and something that rarely gets addressed by formal media. This podcast really seems to ask...Read full review »
Jjd582 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/02/22
… 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.
DC Grrrl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/30/22
Pretty good show until the last couple episodes when it just seemed to be mulling and milking the “why” question waay too much. Needed an editor to say “ok wrap it up”.
KBPittman via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/28/22
This is definitely a true crime whodunnit podcast. But it’s also a really good and thoughtful exploration of a corrupt political system by a very experienced reporter. Hopefully shining a light on this chicanery will help make things better. Thanks for doing this!
joe.c.carey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/27/22
Can’t wait to hear the next one. I binge listened to the series this weekend. Okay yeah late to the party but really glad I heard it. So so impressive amount of work , superb investigator. I for one loved her voice and don’t need Walter Cronkite to let me know what it up. I’m a bit scared for...Read full review »

Worth a listen!
Recycle Freak5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/26/22
The deaths of the Sheridans provided Solomon with a promising hook to explore corruption in New Jersey, but she does not persuade this listener that the failed investigation in those deaths was politically motivated. Garden variety police indifference, laziness, and incompetence appears to be at...Read full review »
