“The first part of the podcast, which discussed the facts and circumstances of the disappearance, was quite well done. But it’s telling that a podcast which seems to exist to investigate and fuel theories of foul play ended up convincing me that they suffered a tragic accident. The hosts rely entirely on speculation and innuendo and break a very specific journalistic principle; despite the fact that most of the individuals mentioned were never charged with a crime, they use real names and hearsay to imply they committed heinous crimes. This is deeply unethical. The experts interviewed provide testimony which suggests an accidental cause of death, but the hosts completely disregard their opinion and weave complex and implausible tale of murder. In order to justify their shoddy journalism, they cynically invoke the very real issue of femicide in Latin America, and pay lip service to the idea of justice for victims in order to advance the drama necessary to keep a relatively “thin on the facts” story going. All in all, while this originally showed promise, I ended up disgusted and very disappointed.”
