Compelling story of this blood stain on Canadian crime history. Easy to listen even though the details are hard to listen to. Enjoyed hearing the brief back story of the victims.

Daily listener

I’m very particular on the podcasts I get into as I hate the weird adjustment period when you start listening to something new, but I was instantly hooked on this podcast. The stories are very in depth with the perfect amount of detail, told in a respectful manner making for easy listening. I appreciate and admire the amount of time that has gone into building this podcast and I thank you for the incredible work. Life as a single mom is a lot more bearable with a good poddy on the go
