Great Shows

Probably one of the coolest podcasts because the host is so conversational and authentic in her presentation of the cases. Like the focus on the victims and not on gore for gore sake.

Only complaint is the length of the episodes . I would like to see more in the 45-50 minute range.

Also the tag .it's not a crime to be gay unless your a murderer is odd. even if you weren't gay the crime would be murder not heterosexuality.
It's never a "crime" to be gay. It's the syntax not the meaning lol
