When Danny’s case was re-investigated in 2014, informants provided an alarming account of what happened to him. Yet somehow, the information led nowhere. Were they simply discredited, or could there be another explanation for this?

Excellent investigative journalism. If you don’t like a deep dive then go watch tv. This is professional, in depth and maybe just for people with an attention span. Keep up the great work! So impressed.
Earlier seasons were ok but my god, the 4th season was both boring and aimless. It was 8 episodes for what turned out to be just a really drawn-out unsolved crime and he made zero progress moving investigations forward and got nowhere.
Long form investigative podcasts are what this host does best. I feel lucky that he’s doing one again. He’s one of the best. And to the person who gave one star because “they never solve anything”, this is a review for a podcast, not a cold case unit evaluation. The host has brought multiple cold cases out of the dark and into the light. While not yet conclusive, these efforts ought to be viewed within their context. Well done to the podcast team. Looking forward to your next case.
I’m never disappointed in your work. Bravo !
