Beautiful storytelling

I have really enjoyed this podcast. Beautifully sensitive storytelling. Thank you!

Excellent

Not only is this podcast (both series /episodes) compelling -yet tragic, the narrator (writer) has an uncanny way of bringing the stories to life in a calming, compassionate way. I appreciate how she tells the story and more importantly tells the story of the victims and the victims’ family/friends. She affirms them as well as giving them a voice.

Thank you for sharing your life’s work and this story is just that. Your telling of the story, clarity of details, explorations of events/timeline are excellent.
It’s a very sad sad story, heart breaking really, but your fact base storytelling makes for why and perhaps how this madness happened to such a talented and gifted scientist.
Note: why is it that such horrendous crimes are perpetrated against women
