    I grew up with this family. I hope they get answers soon and someone comes forward with the truth. 20 plus years is too long for a mother to go without knowing what happened to her child, adopted or not Michelle loved each one of those kids!!

  • Just found it!!

    I just came across this podcast like 2 days ago and already like 8 podcasts in!! She tells detailed stories, in my opinion, not too much, but enough that you get a clear picture in your head of the case, and absolutely shows love, respect, and an advocate for the victims and their families . All in all, I’m loving it, and love her story telling!

  • why does she speak that way?

    this is a serious question and not meant to be mean, but i dunno why she speaks like that … it’s so nasally, contrived, and distracting from what is an otherwise great podcast. i find myself being distracted 15 minutes in on most of her episodes. i think im hate following now and should stop.
