“I love this case and the victims’ stories.
The problem is the host. He sounds goofy and out of touch so his personality doesn’t translate very well. Moreover, his constant reminiscing about being a reporter ‘back in the day’ is weirdly repetitive and dislodges the narration from the case.
Bad editing so the host’s investigator friend (I can’t even remember his name) is wooden and has no discernible personality besides dropping some facts from their research. At one point, I thought they were frenemies because their recorded conversations seemed so forced.
As a person in my 30s, each episode sounds like some interesting but loopy story told by my grandfather. If this series wants to capture the attention of listeners under the age of 50 then they should get a younger co-host to balance out the current host’s mature sensibilities.
Overall, I do give the producers their props for creating a podcast series on a very old, deep cold case which was clearly mishandled by LE in the 70s. I do like that the early episodes shine a bright spotlight on how LE mistreated the LGBTQ+ community in the 60s and 70s, as well as today.”

The storytelling could have gone further, with more personal opinions from the host and his guest. Maybe it will expand from...”Read full review »

“An intriguing unknown case in the era of free love, and the queer community coming of age. However, the storytelling is very sparse. I am left wanting more and not like being in the midst of a thriller novel. After an episode I think “what was the point of that episode?” They’ll profile a victim...”Read full review »
