“My major issue with true crime is the white-centricism of it. The host begins the podcast with a reference to an article she wrote about the effects of social media on empathy. Well, a white teenager’s level of empathy is verrry different from a BIPOC teenager’s. Furthermore, the victim is called...”Read full review »

“Really well done podcast. I already knew the story so I was hesitant to listen. So many details and things you may not have known. Interviews with police officers and detectives add to the story. Great job.”

“I ended up reading a summary of the crime online after getting half way through episode 2, I’m glad I continued to listen to the entire series though. They did an excellent job highlighting the individuals touched by this horrific crime as well as the buildup to the confession.
While it may seem...”Read full review »

“I almost didn’t listen to this since in knew the basic story of what happened. So glad I listened though. Even if you think you know… wow… hearing Skylar’s dad speak just broke me. Wonderfully interviewed, recorded, and produced.”

“I’m very interested in the story and the way it’s told is good, it’s a shame the sound quality is bad a lot of the time. Low quality phone interviews and on/off white noise is not pleasant to listen to, takes away from the story.”

“I think the writers were scared to explore the cultural situation relative to the two girls being lesbians. Otherwise why not start out with that rather than saying they were “closer” to each other than to Skyler? Why not explore what life was like in town for any other lesbians. Rachel seems...”Read full review »

“I was aware of this story from listening to other crime podcasts, but none of them had the depth of Three. This podcast was able to give Skylar and her loving family a voice and the opportunity to tell their story the way it should be told. Highly recommend listening.”

“The story and interviews are very well done. The last episode of various psychologists and similar, is the reason I won’t not give 5 stars. Too subjective and completely unnecessary. It’s not a “hard science”. I’ve been in the field, the closest to reality is the gentleman’s view. The rest is...”Read full review »

“This tragic story could have been told has a two-part episode of any existing crime show. It felt odd that an entire series was written just to tell this story. It was drawn out much more than it needed to be. Holly’s narration is a stark contrast to the other narrator on the show. Holly is too...”Read full review »

“they didn’t talk like robots. 🤖 Maybe it’s being narrated by stupid AI. It’s obnoxious.
On top of that, they spend 98% of the episode describing what a great person the victim was and what their personality was.
GET TO THE FEUCKING POINT!!!!!!!”

“Listened to episode 1 where it was shared on Crime Junkie. Immediately went to the podcast and listened to all the episodes. It’s a heartbreaking story, but was told so well. I was mad with the family, cried with the family, and hung on to every word that was said. Definitely recommend.”

“I found the sound quality very up and down, the hosts were nice and clear, but interviews were muffled. The story tended to jump around and didn’t flow well, it was confusing, and didn’t make for easy listening. Stopped around episode 3 - couldn’t listen anymore sorry.”

“It’s great storytelling but I have to say it - it’s 2024 we don’t need keyboard clicks and twitter whistles to understand that the voice is reading a text/tweet, especially when the narrator literally says it’s a tweet. It’s so distracting and annoying! It’s making it incredibly difficult to...”Read full review »

“but this is no better than any other “true crime” podcast. Old news repackaged as new news. Is it interesting? To a point. 10 episodes is about 6 too many. Especially when there are no answers.
