Disappointing
Started off strong, but continues to go down hill. They haven’t presented anything new or pivotal. They also act as though they are the ones that came up with the using the camera as a flashlight theory after piecing it together during the investigation. When, in actuality, it is something that has been long theorized and predates their investigation. There’s lots of exposition and unnecessary fluff (like when they couldn’t get their satellite phones to work). They also talk in a circle, misdirect, and over explain. For example, they detail across two episodes about this forensic anthropologist and how he is afraid to talk and doesn’t want his name disclosed. They also discuss it right before meeting with him. However, immediately upon talking to him, Mariana goes “we understand you don’t want your identity revealed—what’re you so fearful of???” We understand his fears. We don’t need all this exposition.

I feel like Mariana is trying to sensationalise the story a little bit too much. Be a little more respectful. Especially since the girls families didn’t...Read full review »

Great podcast. The narration is good and it’s an easy listen. It seemed obvious to me by the second episode though, that these girls got lost and died of exposure. Their remains were scavenged by animals, and most are probably still out there in the jungle, probably not far from the river. Agree...Read full review »
