Desperately needs an editor...
This desperately needs an editor. It reminds me of one of those Discovery shows, like The Curse of Oak Island, where there’s a constant stream of almost nothing happening with no actual information, but it’s played dramatic and important. I wish I had read the reviews before starting this, because they’re right, it’s incredibly repetitive, even to the point of repeating the same phrases multiple times in the same episode. By the fourth episode I wanted to throw my phone through the wall every time he said one of the dozen variations of “a girl half his age” and several other constantly reused phrases referring to the case and people. Also, I get that they did a ton of interviews for this, but that doesn’t mean you have to use them all. Listening to numerous people all say exactly the same thing is unbelievably tedious. A few people on background, and the occasional person chiming in to add color is great, but over the course of the podcast you essentially have hours of people talking with little more to add than “she was always nice” and “she loved her kids”. I mean, okay? Obviously? Also, they repeat tons of information over and over. Often times spending 15 minutes rehashing the same talking points from the previous episode, generally with near identical wording, as if they copy pasted from a Word document and then just shuffled it a bit and changed the phrasing. Ten episodes in and they’re still talking about basic facts of the case that they already tediously went over 8 episodes ago. The best part is when they say they’ll talk about stuff in a future episode even though literally nothing has happened in the current episode, so it sure would be nice to talk about it now since there’s literally nothing going on in this one. Anyway, like the others said: first two, last two, skip the middle.

A very captivating story from the start. I hope that this podcast achieves it’s aim and leads to further investigations being done into the case. The presenter is very passionate about the story and a lot of effort has gone into interviewing so many people.

Why is this man still walking the streets he should be locked up. It’s as obvious as the nose on your face that he killed her.
