“An extremely important, yet overlooked, topic. Kudos to Charlie Scudder for excellence in research and reporting.”

“This is a wild ride. It’s disgusting how she was used as a pawn in a much bigger game allowing a murderer to walk free. This story is how corruption seeps into the cracks in the pavement and trips up powerful men.”

“This is such an important story to be told about the vulnerable community of seniors not receiving the protection they deserve. Not to mention, the production, the reporting, and the score for this pod are all top notch! Can’t wait for the rest of season two.”

“The lady has the best voice I’ve ever heard on a podcast. Excellent reporting. My heart breaks for the man who married the victim’s daughter. For her too. She probably had the best man as a partner through life. She picked well considering everything. Wish them well.”

“One of the better unsolved (or should I say unresolved) true crime podcasts! Hope this podcast stirs things up in Navarro County and an indictment finally brought. I am a Dallas native, but grew up going to Cedar Creek, so this story hits close to home.”

“I love how the hosts tell this very sad story. It’s intriguing but with a personal tone. Carol has the best voice. As for the story itself, I am appalled at the blatant corruption!
I feel the most sorry for Shelly’s 2 little girls, growing up without their mother. It is such a travesty.”

“I thought this was the best podcast I have heard in a very long time. I was in HS in Athens when all this was happening. Unreal how many crooked people pull off so much all around us. I’m hoping this case stays open and gets solved. There are so many folks that still need to be interviewed.”

“The investigation is great, I like the hosts voice’s but sometimes when they are recording phone conversations it sounds like literally everyone has a lisp. It’s not all the time but I can’t not hear it now.”

“I grew up roughly 30 minutes away from Edgerton, OH and it’s sad that I’ve never heard about her or anyone I kno for that matter. I know this case is out of Texas, but I feel like it should be well known around the area since this is where she’s from. This is heartbreaking and just awful. Thank...”Read full review »

“Listening to this podcast has been unsettling to say the least. Justice for Shelly is the most important outcome to hope for with the investigation and this story.

“Carol and Wes have really done their homework. They are clearing up a lot of untruths and rumors that we’re all over my hometown. If you love true crime it’s worth a listen. Also nothing wrong with the truth…it’s an opportunity for redemption, forgiveness, and an opportunity for justice.”
