“This was a great podcast. I really like Hedley’s presentation style and interviews with all the key people in this tragic story. However, I did find the middle episodes were a bit repetitive and kept going over the same points and material which we had already heard earlier on. I think it would...”Read full review »

“I have listened to the Australian crime podcasts in the past and enjoyed them. However this one felt unstructured and bounced around from topic to topic without clear signposting or introduction of new voices. It was hard to keep a track of, and I’ve ended up replaying large portions which is...”Read full review »

“I’m not a reader of NewsCorp publications but Hedley Thomas seems to be an exceptional investigative journalist and it’s wonderful that he is able to put effort into trying to find closure for such devastating cases. I desperately hope there can be some closure for the Vaughan family as soon as...”Read full review »

“Why do I care about a car race that took place (if memory serves) a good two months before the woman’s disappearance? What am I doing listening to announcers of this race for minutes? I am sorry, but it feels like you fill in your podcasts with irrelevant detail and repeat information. More...”Read full review »

“I am late to the party with this one. Very sad story of a horrific crime and police misconduct possibly. I cannot understand how her stalker, who she probably new through the store etc has not been identified or more closely scrutinised. I really hope this beautiful lady and her family find the...”Read full review »

I find myself questioning what exactly has passed between Hedley and Brad to make him so bent on singing his praises. Maybe an old...”Read full review »

“It’s frustrating that the podcast producers heavily believe that Andrew Jones is not a good suspect just because Lynette couldn’t ID him in a police image line up. That doesn’t mean it wasn't him that tried to abduct her. Who knows what image she was shown. More research has to be done. He...”Read full review »
