“I really enjoyed this podcast, for a lot of reasons. I felt the discussion around Sophia’s innocence or guilt was well balanced. The audio quality was great and the episodes are really well put together. It’s a good pace. The music is amazing, which the host actually composed the theme and credit...”Read full review »

“The Wideman’s should Sue the parole board, the Kane’s, his parole officer- all of these people broke the law with their actions. What parole board hires a private attorney to fight to get someone back in jail? This was a setup that the Kane’s clearly created. They tracked his location. They hired...”Read full review »

“I just binged this podcast over the last 2-3 days, and what incredible storytelling. The twists and turns, ins and outs, feel so genuinely murky and complex. It’s so layered and rich. And Amory is fantastic—I can’t wait to hear more from her. The story of this family was such a heartbreaking...”Read full review »

“I rarely take the time to ever type out reviews…but this one deserves a shout out. Very very well done podcast. One of the best I’ve ever heard. Compelling story that was told incredibly well. Mind warp of a narrative that has so many twists and turns. Well done. Thank you!”

“I just finished binging season two then rolled back to season 1.
I absolutely loved both, but season one.. you cannot help but feel pain for both sides.
But he was only 16 and most importantly mental illness is still ignored.. and a testament that our good ole boy system is still alive and kicking!!”

“I just really enjoyed the storytelling and rawness of all parties. No dramatization or fluff. Really enjoyed the journalism and reporting at play here. Shane seems like an amazing human being despite the hardships. His perseverance is inspiring. Now going to check out season 1!”

“Plaudits on season 1. Thoughtful, self-aware, and rooted around a real issue: parole system. Season 2 is a daytime talk show.”

“This took years for the reporter to work on - what an example of diving deep. In the end, I feel that the reporter’s conclusion was more complex than I ever would have thought up on my own. And I suppose that's why stories like these can expand a person’s empathy. I appreciate all the years...”Read full review »

Shaun abusing Shane and Sophia being a pathological liar who suggests killing her only friend? It’s the only story that adds up. Sophia was the link between Marleen and...”Read full review »

“The narrator in this podcast has an amazing voice! Story keeps you on edge and its very well thought out. My favorite is the non-prejudice in this podcast. They don’t attack the police, prosecutors, or any other authorities. I’d love to meet Amory!!!! She seems so genuine.”

“Just a show that you hear a liar repeatedly lie and journalist does not seem particularly skeptical and not challenging enough. This was my perception even from the earliest episode. “I can believe…” why are you wasting your time trying to figure out this recidivist liar.”

“What a manipulative Liar!!! She had me until she took the stand and lied. I don’t understand how anyone believed a word out of her or Shawn’s mouth. What a waste of 10 episodes.

“In episode after episode, two sociopaths tell lie after lie, several times contradicting themselves, and at the end, you are no closer to the truth than when you started.

“This series is generally very well-done. However, I feel like the host exerts herself too much it feels like the Amory Show, instead of the stories surrounding the Sophia’s case. As a journalist, it’s fine that she starts off with a hypothesis, but she should be adaptable to what’s uncovered...”Read full review »

“The second season takes a second look at a cold case that was poorly prosecuted. My biggest complaint is the way in which the podcaster focuses on her emotions while completing the investigative process. My interest in the case was the tragic characters. I don’t feel any sense of resolution.”
