I like the investigative aspects of true crime, and the human story behind the victims and the perpetrators. I hate sensationalist exploitation and this podcast is not that. It’s a fascinating in depth study of the case from ever angle, from corrupt police to victims of the poverty of our society.

I watched episode one of the Netflix special. Decided to dive into this podcast and the first season was really good. Really did a deep dive on all of the victims, far more than the Netflix documentary. Then all of a sudden, the podcast starts fast, forwarding, using names of suspects that have not been discussed, I still haven’t heard and can’t figure out which episode talks about the arrest of the suspect Rex, it just really goes off the rails, super repetitive, lots of recaps, host is talking to you Like the word DNA is a new thing. It was disappointing.

Way too many recaps and repetitive content. If you’re listening to the podcast you don’t need to have constant recaps and literally the same auto repeating.

Although there is a lot of coverage of the human beings who were victims in this horrific story, many people, including the host, in this podcasts call the women victims “girls”. Stop calling women girls! It’s demeaning and patronizing to women. However, this does seem to slightly improve as the seasons progress. The first two seasons have a ton of repetition and the chronology is all mixed up.
