As an avid true crime listener the first thing I noticed was the tone of this show. It lacks reverence and compassion. The person telling the story seems more interested in the drama of the story rather than in the individual who was murdered. I don’t like that. He also takes a lot of liberties...Read full review »

I really liked the show - bit all the low pitched ringing noises throughout the episodes drove me away. It literally sounds like “ringing in your ears”. I thought I would try to endure but it’s so bad I’m quitting the podcast.

I am only 3 episodes in and I am completely invested as if I was investigating this story. I have recently fell in love with True Crime podcasts and I was stationed in Louisiana for many years years ago. I am curious to know why in Ep 2 when you were asked by the son to let him know what your...Read full review »

East Texas still wonders about what happened to Kelli Wilson. Great podcast! Great journalism again Wes!

Unbelievable! I’m sitting here thinking how can humans act and behave that way. It’s just crazy that actually happened. On the side note, Raymond if you’re ever reading this, it’s never and will never be your fault! I hope you have found comfort and peace in life now

This was a wild ride. It’s an absolutely crazy case. Raymond and his family’s part made me absolutely furious on their behalf. This is a real-life cold case so there is no resolution at this time. (Hopefully someday!) And, yes, it does derail because the case itself got derailed. This is less...Read full review »

The story is so compelling and interesting. The podcast itself is really great. The constantly repeating ads promoting churches and online worship is not. Once an episode, okay, but twice in a row all throughout is excessive and distracting. Otherwise I’d highly recommend this to anyone looking...Read full review »

Why are the ads in this podcast all religious and promoting Christian podcasts and churches?

This Kept my interest the whole way through!

Interviews are rambling, story doesn’t progress. Could have told this in one episode.
Givemeagoodstory via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/23
I was 12 in 1992. This story was huge. Every evening on KLTV there would be updates. This story has always been my top East Texas cold case. This podcast didn’t disappoint.

So glad I found it.

After listening to this in-depth podcast my comment is the slashing of her tire was how “he” was able to get her in his car by kindly offering her a ride to the bank. All planned out to abduct her. So sorry for her family.

….after just two minutes of actual show
Schmendrickit via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/15/23
Listening to this I’m so angry! What is wrong with people?! This is why we need to overhaul our justice systems. Shane is truly a HERO, he’s a really good man. Unfortunately so many (most) in law enforcement WILL NOT admit there’s been a mistake even once it’s been proven that the person is...Read full review »

For the person who gave it 1 star for there being no closure…there’s actually NO closure in real life so what do you expect? I love very close to Gilmer and Kelly was my age - this was all anyone could talk about when it happened. Very sad that so many screw ups along the way blew this case.
Jenniferw75 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/11/23
I thought the reporting on this case was really well done. The story is very interesting and it’s a case I hadn’t heard of before. I found it really helpful that the host gives refreshers on the different names that pop back up over the course of the ten episodes. I usually listen at work so...Read full review »

This podcast was so well done and kept me captivated, eager to learn more. As a Texan, this one hit closer to home than most. Such a tragic story for so many people.
BrieRodg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/23
Excellent work by Wes. Hoping to see a follow-up in the future.
Kāore via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 04/03/23
Wild ride of a heartbreaking story! Starts off one way and takes you on a crazy story you won’t even believe could be true but it is.
Wsb13 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/02/23
Even-handed, thorough, victim-focused on all the victims involved. I appreciate this approach and I wish every missing and murdered person got this attention.
JulieandNoah via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/31/23
My goodness. What an incredible ride this podcast was. Some many threads. So tragic. Give it a listen.
Ponchin100 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/26/23
This was so hard to listen to. I was so angry. But we’ll done.
comomalolo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/23/23
I’m somewhat local, the last names are all familiar. Hoping for a resolution ASAP and that there will be a season two that covers it.
daphness via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/21/23
This is such a sad and tragic story!! My mom was murdered when I was 16, so I’m a true crime junkie, I guess hoping for someone else to have an explanation or “closure” that I have yet to get 41 years later. I lived in a small town in Texas much like Gilmer in 1992, and could envision...Read full review »

This is a great podcast. I listened to EP 1 Season 1. I wasn’t sure if I was going to continue listening, but I’m happy I did. I love the various interviews and the storyline.
Dopecurlzz1991 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/19/23
Really interesting. I was depressed after hearing how screwed up this left so many peoples lives though.
skunkken via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/18/23
I hope that you will produce more podcasts. Very well written and thought out. Easy to follow the story and timeline. Great balance of fact and info and investigation. Highly recommend.
Jessica71428 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/23
Thoroughly enjoyed this podcast!! Hoping for a season 2.
Howulikethat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/14/23
Great job on reporting this crime. I am appalled that educated people participated in this travesty. Listening to Raymond was excruciating. I sure hope they are suing the pants off the state and each person!
Thornecc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/14/23
Most horrible pod cast ever. Ends up with no answer!
Slater52573 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/13/23
Love your podcast can’t wait till season 2 love

amazing show, could not recommend enough. fascinating at every twist and turn. would love an update!!

So far this podcast is okay. What really bothers me is the constant pushing of injectable fillers in the commercials. Tone deaf and clueless. Might cause me to abandon this podcast.
ShyGirlReformed via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/23
Really enjoyed the story at first but as it went on it just became very confusing maybe it was me not paying attention but it was hard to follow just on episode 4.
LoLo12-08 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/25/23
Interesting podcast while it focuses on the Satanic Panic. But it goes off the rails by attempting to solve the case itself. The host needs to calibrate his BS-detector.
Ben Sequoia via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/19/23
A lot of hearsay, he said/she said. Difficult for the author to put it all together through no fault of his own. What a mess. I felt like it was too much information. That poor kid- hard to believe authorities can totally destroy lives for what? Fun? I feel so sorry for all the victims involved.
stopthemadness44 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/16/23
So far so good with the story but goodness the ear piercing sounds in the background. I’ve almost turned it off several times because it’s so annoying. Please take those out 🙏🏻
ePd85 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/16/23
This was my first podcast & and I loved it! Very compelling, Wes does a great job at telling Kelly’s story. I’m definitely hoping for a continuation and find out more about her story. Very well done.
Kristal mari via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/16/23
The synopsis should read ‘Journalist Wes Ferguson returns home TO TRY to uncover’. It should be made clear that by the time you finish this podcast, you’re none the wiser on who did it. That said, it is a very interesting podcast.
M4R1E via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/15/23
I am very impressed with this true crime podcast, this is a complicated story to tell. Wes Ferguson, in my opinion, put himself at risk doing this podcast and researching what happened to Kelly Wilson. The twists and turns this story takes is fascinating! I hope Kelly Wilson’s family can...Read full review »

Great series but fast forward through the parts with Amanda. She adds no value and is a total BSer.
Donnyblub via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/23
Highly addicting, grasped my attention from the start! Great all around! I can’t wait for updates about Kelly and look forward to more podcasts
hardNthaPaint via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/23
The story was so compelling that I suffered through the background noise. If the producers think those noises are suspenseful they’re wrong. Timing was off too. Whoever did your mixing needs to listen to their work before posting. Sorry Wes!
Crazy cat lady #3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/23
I enjoyed the podcast and found It quite compelling. There was some good information that I haven’t heard over the years. I look forward to any updates you have.
brettrowland via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/09/23
Grew up around the Trinity area, not too far from where this all took place. What a crazy story. Hope you update and add to the podcast when things evolve. -Mel Ramirez
