“I binged this podcast in one and half days. I did skip some of the bonus episodes, only because I was anxious to get to the regular episodes. I have so much respect for Paulette, McKay’s mom. And so much disrespect for Tannie Shannon who befriended Hilton while he was on death row. Shannon came...”Read full review »

On a side note, I love listening to Ric Metts. I’d totally listen to a podcast if he did one. I love how genuine and real he is.”

“Of the hundreds of crime investigations I have listened to over the past 5 years, this story has got to be one of the most senseless murders I have ever heard of. I have to believe that Hilton’s wife was somehow complicit in ALL of the crimes her husband committed. What happened to the two...”Read full review »

“I became so wrapped up in this podcast! It presents the case from the perspective of many people. The people became so real to me because of the many interviews. It’s a heart-wrenching story that is truly stranger than fiction. Art Rascon is a fantastic narrator.”

“This had real potential to be a great series, but it seemed to get caught up in weeds. It needed to be more concise. That whole interview with Hilton didn’t seem to add anything to the story. There was an interview with a the female FBI? agent?? (I think ) also didn’t add anything to the...”Read full review »

“This started out interesting and good. By Episode 7 (with all the Bonus episodes) I feel it starting to draaggg out. I couldn’t finish episode 7. This could have been a great 6-8 episode series with 1 bonus episode at the end. Better luck next time.”

“TL;DR:
A family friend addicted to gambling kidnaps a their only kid to get a ransom… but didn’t think it through, so kills the kid.
He gets arrested for murder.
The end.”

“Original episodes engaging. But What is the Point of the last two episodes, especially the last one (i hope its the last one) where all we hear is a deranged narcissist go on & on about his “extraordinary” life. WHY give him any opportunity to further talk about himself?! Very disappointing....”Read full review »

“Such a sad, compelling story.
I can’t believe how much airtime the author of the book got. He sounds like he was seriously hoodwinked by the murderer and sadly, we had to listen to way too much of his piffle.”
