I grew up in Starkville and still have close ties to the community I am proud to say I call home. I did not know Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Crigler well. My father’s barber and beauty salon (Synnott’s Barber & Beauty Shop) was across the street from Mrs. Crigler’s home. Mrs. Crigler was a weekly...Read full review »

My husband and I were in our mid-twenties in 1990 and lived two doors down from where this happened. We were scared half to death because no one knew who did this horrible thing. We saw the police cars outside the night it happened. So sad. Just a horrific murder that has stayed with me for all...Read full review »

Interesting and sad. So sorry for your loss. I live in a blue state and crime is horrible despite using familial DNA. DA’s in LA and SF are soft on crime so there is some irony to what your guest in episode 6 talks about. While it’s fabulous to see cases being solved and the correct person being...Read full review »

I am so glad to have come across this podcast. What an incredible story! I especially loved hearing from Betty’s namesake and the power behind her name. I can relate to that personally. My reason for 4 stars is because the ads were pretty repetitive and disruptive to the play; I’m used to ads,...Read full review »

Was keeping my interest until ep 6, where, just like everything else in the US, right now, it is taken political….. consequences of familial dba…. How about tell the story without 45 min of propaganda. Also stop saying, ‘let’s take a quick break’ we can’t see u… there are no commercials…. You...Read full review »

Don’t worry about bad reviews. I think that you seem very sincere right from the start. I hope you solve your grandma’s murder ❤️

It is heartbreaking to hear what y’all are going through but I must say you did a fantastic job with your podcast. Oh and I adore Sgt. Lott!! If only every single police officer was like him, we’d have it good wouldn’t we? Amazing officer!

I like the focus on the story of the victim’s lives not the gruesome details of their murder
wooohoooo50 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/15/21
I only recently heard about this podcast a few days ago and binged both seasons. It is so well put together and throughly investigated. My heart breaks for the families involved and I pray they have all found a way to make some type of peace with losing their loved ones to murder. Closure is a...Read full review »

Way to put this case on the map.

Let’s raise a glass to this real stories of families and communities that have lived through the horror of an unsolved murder podcast!

I listened to season 1, so very good. Couldn’t wait till you started season 2. You turned me onto Truth and Justice with Bob Ruff. I love that as well.
Ronarn2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/12/21
If you like true crime, check this out. Totally enjoyed listening.Love it!

My favorite podcast right now!
Sav_Fisher via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/06/21
I like to listen to serial true crime podcasts, but this one is just not good.
MacCavity99 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/25/19
Jason & Team, I am really enjoying the podcast. You’ve done a great job bring Betty & Kathryn to life I don’t know why anyone would say they found you disingenuous. I couldn’t disagree more. I definitely feel how much you you loved your Grandma Betty. I can’t wait to find out what happens.

I’m so sorry for your loss. That being said, this is more of a tribute/personal blog that’s miscategorized as “news/politics” made by an amateur musician. This guy talks about himself and showcases his white savior complex more than he does about the case.
Visiitor via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/03/19
I think you are doing an incredible job. Very brave to go deep into your own story... keep it up.....
Babygil14 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/02/19
Skip the preproduction stuff. Listen to episode one, skip all the pointless Q&amp;A’s, try to make it through episode 2, fall asleep, realize every episode is a repeat of the first, then remove it from your library. Listen, the production quality is great. But the host tends to make the story...Read full review »

Interesting content well delivered but much much too much repetition within each podcast and throughout all chapters. Dragged out But thank you
stuman914 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/10/19
Nothing happens. Has an intro to make you think it will be like up and vanished. He doesn’t interview anyone related to the case or discover anything new.
nelob via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/10/19
First podcast I have listen to. Very well told.
BlueGirlRose77 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/23/19
Is it just me or is anyone else waiting for the “Aruba, Jamaica oooo I wanna take ya” Love the podcast but interesting background music choice!!
valzahn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/21/19
I like the Podcast. I think Jason does a good job with the story. Each episode is a little repetitious but still good. I watched 48 hours before finishing the Podcast. So I know the outcome. Jason looks exactly like I pictured him! (I’m just now listening and I heard this podcast...Read full review »

Narrator is not genuine. Using a terrible incident to create a podcast that goes no where. Fake crying and fake laughing. Very very rehearsed. Way too many ads and corny over dramatic music
DSS2222 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/17/19
Ugh...waste of my time! Slow, painful to listen to. Especially the policeman was a horrible episode. He sounded like someone’s crazy cousin describing a cop show.
Mrs Ruckleshaus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/14/19
Repetitively covers information, including gruesome details for apparently no reason other than filling time. Nope.
cronation via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/13/19
I’m not convinced by the narrator’s intentions, it kind of feels like this guy is milking a family tragedy to make a podcast
rebs1009 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/04/19
In the following months and years changed our lives forever. My most important job was to keep quiet &amp; look my best. I still feel that I haven’t gone thru all of the stages of grief. I’m in therapy now and am hopefully closer to peace. He died in 1972. Time to get it out of me.
musical kelly via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/01/19
This is fantastic. Interesting story, and really well presented, a few boring parts but mostly really good!
Emmmibelly via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/10/18
Sooooo the first episode was semi interesting but then the rest of the episodes will put you to sleep. The episodes are sporadic as hell and each episode since the first seem like filler information which they then have Q&amp;A episodes...about the filler. There is not a lot of info on the crime...Read full review »
YajairaB via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/13/18
Real bad. Not true crime. Just a background piece. Dude should make a podcast about his church or cool hats or Astros baseball. Real good. You’re excellent at producing a podcast. If you went to work with a private detective or a forensic detective or somehow compiled a strong team around you,...Read full review »
Dr. Ross Dye via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/23/18
All of the episodes could have been fit in one to two episodes. There is a lot of recycled material. The crime is not explained well and suspects are never fleshed out or discussed. This podcast has all the trendy music and production of a major crime podcast, but isn’t worth the listen. Save...Read full review »

The narration is thoughtful and interesting. A great production!
Dawn's tunes via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/23/18
Stumbled upon the podcast through a Thistle Farms IG post. Really loving it and just binged all the episodes on a short road trip. It feels personal to me somehow being from TX, a musician, now living in Nashville too and having grown up in a similar- seeming family. All I can think about is...Read full review »
Bassgaljess via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/18
Jason, I love the story, you have me hooked. I want to help—but you need to keep episodes coming on a more regular basis. I know you’re working on this in real time, but if you want to keep us interested, jump in to digging and putting out shows.
Soma8635242 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/18/17
I'm having a hard time listening to this podcast because it's far to much time between episodes. I believe the first episode said there would be a new episode every 2 week but it's been almost a month since the last one. We need some consistency please. Over all I am intrigued by the...Read full review »

Wow. I hope this podcast can help the family of Betty Jones find answers. This podcast is different in that the grandson of the victim is the creator of the podcast. His interviews with family and others are very personal and it's impossible to listen to this without feeling extreme empathy....Read full review »

Wow
I can't stop listening and doing my own research. Excited to see how this all plays out. As a Mississippi State student myself, I can't help but think about how this happened in our little town.Read full review »

I remember so clearly when this happened to my best college friends’ grandmother. I truly hope this podcast can get some answers for the families. I am a fan of true crime podcasts and this one is very well done!
MaryPGilbert via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/27/17
True crime podcasts always make you think about the people who were left behind when these ordeals occur. This podcast is hosted by the victims grandson so you are hearing how it affected him and his family from a first hand point of view. It seems a lot of work is being put in to this podcast....Read full review »
Cooperlm via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/22/17
I loved the first episode and can’t wait to see where this leads. Praying for answers and closure for he family. The narrator does a great job of telling this story from his perspective making it very human and captivating.
Queenbeemel via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/17
Your podcast is great - please don't get discouraged! What you're doing can not be easy, but I think you're doing an amazing job and I look forward to the rest of your journey!Read full review »
Alex S 👩🏻‍💻 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/13/17
Update: was very promising but now I see it’s way more fluff than substance. The podcaster says he was criticized for being disingenuous. He aimed to rectify that, and yet this episode (episode 3, not true episode count, because *every other episode* is a q&amp;a) wreaks of it. I’m out....Read full review »
Rubyslipper via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/13/17
If you like true crime, check this out. But unlike other true crime podcasts, you get to follow along as the investigation unfolds. The story is heartbreaking yet fully engaging.
fbeemcee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/30/17
Halfway through episode 2 and thinking - why is this all a recap of the first episode? And then add in the completely inconsistent volumes of the speakers and you have a pretty boring trudge through an unsolved case. How about some intrigue? Some suspects? Police reports? - something for the...Read full review »

When I became friends with Jason in college 16 years ago, it was evident that he had some amazing creative gifts that he would use for making a difference and touching peoples lives. In this podcast he employs these gifts to tell the raw, compelling, and painful story of the murder of his...Read full review »
