Reviews

4.2 out of 5 stars from 32 ratings
  • Poor

    One of those podcasts done because everyone is doing a podcast.

    Based on little factual information, full of conjecture, personal & irrelevant opinions, repetitiveness just to fill space and even at times more about themselves than the actual case.

    After listening to podcasts like MMP or the Monster series, you will soon realise that the bar is very low with this one.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Analyzing testimony from man who had affair with Ana Walshe
Q: If he has admitted disposing of the body and says Ana died of natural causes, why doesn't he tell them where he's disposed of the parts so they can do an autopsy and confirm his defense that she died from causes other than homicide?
He has a Fifth Amendment right not to disclose details about the whereabouts of the body, as revealing that information could potentially incriminate him further.
Analyzing testimony from man who had affair with Ana Walshe
Q: Did Brian Walsh know about the affair before Ana Walsh's death?
This is a pivotal question for establishing motive in the case; while the prosecution suggests he might have known, it remains unclear based on Fastow's testimony.
Ana's home country, Serbia, closely watching unfolding murder trial
Q: Do you feel like Serbian women in particular identify with Ana's story?
Yes, it reflects the ideal life example valued in Serbia, especially the aspect of being a mother.
Ana's home country, Serbia, closely watching unfolding murder trial
Q: When did you first hear about this case?
The journalist first heard about it when Ana went missing on New Year's Eve.
What to expect from opening statements in Walshe murder trial
Q: What can we expect from the defense's opening?
The defense may reserve their opening statement, could argue against the establishment of cause of death, and may try to introduce doubt concerning the police investigation and possible narratives around Ana's death.
