  • I have to review in order to score each episode ! So I'm writing this after episode 1. As soon as I heard the surname of the victim I knew his Christian name so I have heard this story before or read about it. So far I am loving the way Sam tell the story, along with the little asides. I find it hard to fathom the Rolex was EVER left behind with the victim, actually !!

  • Great

    I really enjoyed this podcast. It is well-produced, engaging, and more important- it doesn’t seek to re-victimize everyone involved. I appreciate that Sheila was treated with respect and her mom, sisters, etc. were not the subjects of this show. Good job!
