“Exactly the kind of garbage that you would expect from the moronic mind of Ben Shapiro. A bunch of lies and half truths just like the daily wire”

“It’s a long story made longer by short repetitions and worth the effort, recalling a time when it was frightening for women to live in the greater Boston MA. area, before computer aided police work and a more innocent era.”

“Well produced and researched.
It’s such a huge case it would be great to have summations and more timeline recaps. For e.g. it sounds like De Salvo is likely to have committed several of the murders. It would be interesting to know how those murders align time-wise, or not, with the others....”Read full review »
