“My only question is why won’t they just re-test everything? New technology= new results.
These 3 girls (and their father as well) should not back down until everything is run through again, including the semen that the investigators “assume” was the husband’s. Never assume anything in a homicide...”Read full review »

“She needs to stick with Crime Junkie. Ashley has no investigative skills and is just reading what any of us could read. She has made no effort to interview people herself she just reads reports back and news articles. Doing this maybe has worked in the past when getting away with plagiarism but...”Read full review »

“There’s no reason that should’ve been 15 episodes. A lot of it is very repetitive and feels like this is purposely stretched out. Also, the investigation is pointless and therefore not really worth the time to listen.”

“The podcast so clearly presented the emotional rollercoaster of evidence of really 4 separate and equally heinous crimes . I couldn’t stop listening and yelling my frustrations and theories along side Ashley and Emily . I can only imagine how much more I would be locked into to solving the...”Read full review »

“Way too many ads! I feel like the podcast is 50% storyline, 50% ads. The story drags and is nothing like crime junkie. I’m glad I didn’t waste any money on the deck tour after listening to this podcast. Ashley has obviously become money hungry and is looking to profit any way she can off the sad...”Read full review »

“Shrill, pointless Podcast with zero resolution, and no new information. The two episodes will tell you all you need to know. There is no way that this should be in the top five podcasts. Dumb dumb dumn.”

“Goodness, why this was 15 episodes, I cannot figure out. It allowed for more commercials? So little was covered in each episode, became frustrating to have to keep moving to another episode. Secondly, I understand that people can do “investigating” on their own, but remember that this is a...”Read full review »

“Ok, I have a few notes. Lawyers should be involved. Demand a court order for testing the evidence - NOW. I’m pretty sure someone would take it for a lesser pay or even as a pro bono.
Also, genetic genealogy should be explored.

“The the elements of good investigation are in this podcast…I’ve seen independent pods do the same or more with fewer resources …and there is strong story telling. But this should be 6 episodes maximum. It is stretched quite thin and so many advertisements.”
