I loved Missing but this was over the line.

“I’ve always loved this podcast and have greatly appreciated and respected Tim Pilleri and Lance Reenstierna for their work on cases of those who have gone missing. That was, until a few days ago, when I’d finished listening to the more recent episodes so I decided to go back through the older ones. That’s how I landed on Episode #411 from August 24, 2023, Kay-Alana Turner. As I’m in Texas where this happened, I was already a bit familiar with the case and wanted to hear Tim and Lance’s take on it.
Instead, what I got was a non-stop tirade that was both anti-law enforcement and anti-psychiatry between them and their “guest” Christy Arnhart who apparently considers herself an expert on everything, not only about Kay-Alana but apparently on overall policing, sheriffs departments, law enforcement training, policy and tactics, prescribing of psychiatric medications, psychiatry and diagnosing of various mental conditions, and so much more. What I couldn’t find were any qualifications that might lead her (or the regular hosts) to have any reason, basis or experience to expound on any of it let alone bash and criticize those who do. This episode was a mess with all three of them going on and on and on, dissecting, disrespecting and criticizing every single step of the Tomball Sheriffs Department, Kay-Alana’s actual psychiatrist (seriously?!?) and what they all SHOULD have done or how they could have done better. At several points, I considered stopping however I kept thinking they’d get past it. But, no. That was not to be the case. Since none of them have the kinds of jobs that require them to put their lives on the line and making split-second life or death decisions for themselves and others every single day, nor are they versed in the many facets of psychology and psychiatry, I’d say they owe everyone an apology. More than one. TBH, if I were that psychiatrist they accused of misdiagnosing Kay-Alana and prescribing the wrong medications/dosages, I’d sue them off of the face of the Earth for slander and defamation of character. For starters.
They should all be ashamed as they’ve lost any credibility and respect I ever had for them and this podcast. Not that losing me as a listener will really affect anyone but I have a feeling I’m not the only one who feels this way after listening to that beatdown of an episode. I hope the grandstanding and holier than thou b.s. in this episode was worth it for them.
Unsubscribing now. There are way too many other wonderful podcasts and hosts out there who can leave their politics, personal feelings, mindless babbling, gossip, thoughts and armchair quarterbacking of others at the door when they cover cases and stories. I’m a little sad that Missing has now shown they just aren’t able or want to do that. No one wants to hear your arrogant, non-expert “expertise.””

“I so wanted to like this podcast but the narrators roam in and out of the details of this story as if they don't realize they're being recorded. I know a fair amount about this case but ended up feeling totally lost after the second episode. It's worth noting that these guys are...”Read full review »

“It starts out a bit all over, but it is actually a very interesting case and they do get a lot better at figuring out how to talk about a topic without jumping around!”

“They keep saying they're going to get to the facts, but assume scenarios the majority of the time. And the scenarios they assume are ridiculous.”Read full review »
