Good story, not so great sleuthing
I enjoyed the story overall, but found Kim’s overall sleuthing, interviewing, and analysis to be lacking. Who cut the phone lines? What was Fred’s relationship to Shelly? Why was he always spending time away from his wife? Why did he lie (including to his wife) that he was a Navy Seal? That interrogation was hardly browbeating, his confession sounded odd, but why dismiss it so out of hand? Just because things aren’t in the police file, doesn’t mean they didn’t happen, this is lazy and irresponsible journalism. Some things may have been innocently left out, misplaced, who knows it’s been so many years. It seems Kim just wanted to be done and tie this up with a neat bow that Fred didn’t do it. I’m not so sure. I did enjoy most of it, but it left me empty with the conclusion at the end that I thought was rushed and lazy.

Clear and compelling reporting - a great listen.

I noticed that this podcast doesn't try to draw you in with catchy songs or very suspenseful endings. Instead it has long interviews that gave me a feeling of being a part of Barker's exploration.Read full review »

From the beginning it was disjointed and I just couldn’t get interested.
