Tedious
I imagine when pitched the assumed their would be more information available but, to the credit of the investigators they have managed to keep leaks to a minimum. Which is how the legal system should work. So this show is a tedious rehash of exisiting, already covered rather better on most new sources. The second episode stated it was about the hours between the murders and the reporting of the deaths. And then had zero new information on the topic. There is well deserved hammering of the speculation by armchair detectives, tapping away on their keyboards with wild theories, destroying the lives of others. But that was not the topic of the show. The storyteller inserts herself into the story repeatedly. The word 'I' should never be a journalist’s favorite word but it is overused here. A good journalist is never the story. But the lack of new information leaves this podcast severely lacking. They have oddly elected not to name certain individuals in these episodes too. And while that may be an admirable moral stance, those involved have been named elsewhere in abundance - so it is an odd choice. I had not chosen to listen to this but was rolled into it by the ever present advertising on Apple Podcasts. I was truly astounded by just how lacking the first episode was that I assumed something had gone wrong. The second episode also auto played after another show and was dismally bad too.Read full review »

The episodes take to long to come out when there is new information to be covered so that is why I gave it three stars.

Awkwardly slow narration as if there’s not enough to fill the series. Very basic research and interviews. Just a lot of obvious statements with very little depth and zero investigative information. A Reddit user could have written the script, probably better.

5 minutes ? Hmmm
