“Appreciated the thorough investigation and thoughtful editing. Also that the focus was more than the murders/monster but the resilience of survivors. Your attention to law enforcement’s biases was valuable, as this blinds us in many fields but perhaps few as critical as this one. Maxine and...”Read full review »

“This was my first time hearing this story. What a tragedy 😢 hearing these women’s stories… I was stopped in my tracks when you shared that all the women heard the others in their heads when they ran from him. Holy moly 😭 well done with the story 🙏🏽”

“I was a 21 year old female murder suspect in Anchorage right at that time (I’m innocent).
I was on summer break from an Outside college.
I have never in my life been treated with such a lack of professionalism and basic respect from those detectives, including one of the female ones.”

“I never leave reviews and I don’t listen to podcast. EXCEPT Michelle Ward’s mind of a monster. This podcast is phenomenal! Her goal to focus is to tell the stories of the victims and their story. She accomplishes that and reaches 120%. She is thorough and keeps you captivated. Her interviews...”Read full review »

I send love and peace to the woman who used the Cindy Paulson name to bring this depraved individual to justice. Her attention to detail, photographic memory, and overall resilience are so inspiring....”Read full review »

“I see some comments about not liking a woman commentator for true crime. But let’s remember the reason that Hansen remained out there longer than he should have was because it was men that were “in charge”. If they had listened to Maxine Farrell at the beginning, Cindy and a lot of other women...”Read full review »

“It’s fine as a true crime podcast. I wasn’t enthralled as I’ve been with previous podcasts I’ve listened to and the narrator is forgettable as the host. Not terrible but nothing to write home about. Stick to dateline.”

“I’m giving this five stars simply because past his childhood it’s good. I happened to know people that knew Robert Hansen as a child. I think a lot more research into his history and initial town he was born in and started out life needed to be done. I run a business in Estherville. From what...”Read full review »

“I’ve only listened to the latest season, but I think it’s great. And contrary to what other reviews read, I think the narrator is very respectful regarding the victims and their lives, and it wasn’t made into a fashion show. Seems that some just have an issue with female podcasters.”

One reason I find this series so compelling is that the producers have taken the time to find living victims and supportive female voices. And taken the time...”Read full review »
