  • What happened to the investigation (s) now it's a speed read of the information. This last episode was 30 minutes including ads and there's a part two, why?

  • New information

    So you and your partner Amy need to be doing a second story to the podcast you done on my son. We paid for a second autopsy. They do them for the FBI and there findings are not the same as state police. The officer beat a guy in the head with his pistol a month ago on body cam. So y’all really don’t have any information on this case other than what you took from state police. Amy you processed to tell one individual that I was crazy. How dare you call a grieving mother crazy. I will be sending y... more

    I can forgive the very thick Southern accent but not the 4+ minute long ads. Makes it un-listenable.

  • Beallis case

    I normally enjoy this podcast but am disturbed that producers chose to discuss this ongoing case when so few facts are known right now. I just listened to part 2 which is just as rife with speculation as part 1 and worse, leans into the idea that the victim is to blame. You’ve got a rich white doctor with previous abuse allegations whose second wife died under suspicious circumstances and whose kids from his first marriage won’t speak to him because his ex “poisoned them with lies against him” a... more
