“.this show went way downhill fast. By episode 5, Laura Palmer is using really generalizing language to talk about sex work. As a former sexworker myself, I can promise you people don't just do that work to make some guy happy. Having someone book your clients can be a form of protection and...”Read full review »

“Well-researched and good to hear from the families. Portraits of the victims are respectful and in-depth. But the narrator’s slow and staccato speaking style can be irritating.”

“Kudos to you on your reporting of Michael’s disappearance. This report brought chills, especially the brown van man, it sure hits too close to home! It’s so disappointing that our local police refuse to cooperate in an investigation that went so seriously wrong. Our daughter was only 3-mths old...”Read full review »

“Breaking news folks, if you drive or work for drugs, and for a thug like this Sean thug, a life long criminal, a drug dealer, just a general stupid thug, your life could be in danger, or is this news to some of you? this native fella that got out alive, count your lucky stars, and stay the hell...”Read full review »

“…about a really important story. I hope all your work leads to some answers in this case. I know from experience that the Nanaimo RCMP hasn’t always taken sexual assault seriously. Good on you for holding their feet to the fire.”

“I have listened to many true crime podcasts but I love the way you do yours. You get right in there and get some answers and you don’t give up. I wish you weren’t all the way across Canada as I am an advocate for a local missing man and no one is talking. Anyways keep the great content coming. ❤️”

“I really enjoy this podcast, it’s well researched, the attention to details is so well down but the music in the background is really annoying. It’s too loud and doesn’t serve any purpose. I cannot tune it out when i listen to the stories. The only thing negative i have to say about this! Please...”Read full review »

“This podcast can’t be called investigative journalism. I listened to season 5 over the course of about a week. When I finished, I went back and checked to make sure I didn’t somehow skip/miss some episodes…nope, there just wasn’t any meat to this story. The whole season is comprised of a few...”Read full review »
