This one includes real interviews with people affiliate with the investigation and is thoughtfully put together.”

“This is one of the most horrifying true stories I’ve ever heard and the full extent of how big the criminal ring was is still not known. Thank you for the superb reporting and production. And thank you for helping expose these monsters.”

“I truly appreciate you diving deep and investigating this case. A lot of lose threads and unanswered questions speak volumes.

“Very good. Was skeptical at first but it was thrilling. Waaaaaaaay to many ads though. I get the ads, but compared to others, it was excessive.”

“Matt grieves does an outstanding job on this podcast, and I really appreciate his efforts to get to the truth and I believe the truth will prevail. These families are heroes, and I will be praying for them. I was a little boy in Germany when this happened and came to an end, but yet there’s still...”Read full review »

“This is a well-told story and so important. It is pointed out in the story that we need to hear these things to be able to comprehend what some evil humans are capable of perpetrating on others. And they are still out there, and must come to light. If this story makes your stomach turn in...”Read full review »

“It was super interesting and a good listen at first. I had never heard of these events before, and I was interested in learning more about them. Then, the podcast went from factual to conspiratorial.
In my opinion, the ending episodes were very reminiscent of the 1990’s Satanic Panic and modern...”Read full review »

“I’ve lived in Belgium my all life and I was 8 when Julie and Melissa were kidnapped, the same age as the girls. I remember that summer our parents’ warnings about talking to strangers and being extremely careful. Everybody was afraid and we couldn’t play in the street anymore. I was too young at...”Read full review »

I try to wait until the podcast is completely finished to start getting into it,...”Read full review »

“The show is great. Very well researched and well produced, but the ads are kinda insensitive.
