Kudos for the masterful storytelling and unraveling of a heartbreaking tragedy.

I am fascinated by true crime and relatively new to podcasts. What I found engaging and interesting about this podcast is the thorough investigation, the non-biased reporting of the findings, the podcasters’ tenacity to get to the truth, and the informed commentary on law enforcement and legal aspects of this case. Perhaps the most impactful and memorable accomplishment of this investigation is the multifaceted illustration of human behavior and the fallout of a series of tragic decisions for not only the victim, but the accused, witnesses, and family members.
