It Was Okay.
Big fan of true crime stories. I felt like I had to skip like 15 minutes of them talking just about themselves, I understand it’s the first episode, but seemed a bit long of an introduction of the Narrators. I also didn’t feel like they talked on the title subject well. 100% my opinion. The other part I found kinda weird is the emphasis on how much the two women dislike the use of Internet searching for crime scenes and labeling it with “porn” is really taking it out of context, yes it’s not for everyone and it’s not for the faint hearted, but to say it’s offensive is not true, you cannot deny that murder happens, IT’S AWFUL, but it’s almost as though you try to shame the victims into being these unrealistic outcomes of life. Educate the information, do not cancel the information. Many people help search for victims and further investigation that are tips found by looking at crime scene photos. I understand that a big portion of what they were talking on was that places like Google and Facebook were just allowing this young woman to be exploited after death, through the use of sharing and posting for “click bait” and these big tech companies had zero compassion to the families. As well as trying to profit off people’s death, is not a great look either. But researching crime scenes is very different for exploitation, and I felt like they just lumped “crime scene awareness and research” in to cancel culture. I know this is a newer case and that it’s still on trial, I just would have preferred more info on the investigation side of the true crime ideas, the text messages, a more in depth history of the murders past, witnesses accounts if there had been any, if it seemed premeditated, what psychiatrists might have to say. Gone more into the warning signs or Red Flags, if you would, of how this situation came to fruition, like different online conversations or other situations that had taken place, multiple opinions on the individuals, etc that might give other people the ability to avoid the same fate. It seemed weird that an Investigation Discovery TV podcast was basically saying all that ID TV does and is associated with, like looking and going through crime scene and murder photos and sharing these stories and potential warnings with others, is offensive.

Me thinks thou both protest too much. When the hosts do stop talking about themselves they talk about the victims by talking about how they respect the victims somehow more than other true crime coverage by saying they do? Huh? Either do a crime podcast or don’t. This is a podcast about two...Read full review »
