Story
Life is hard enough for a teenage girl in 1950s suburbia without having a mother who may—or may not—be a witch. A single mother at that. Sure, she fits in with her starched dresses, string of pearls, and floral aprons. Then there are the hushed and mystical consultations with neighborhood women in distress. The unsavory, mysterious plants in the flower beds. The divined warning to steer clear of a boyfriend whose fate is certainly doomed.

This is an easily digestible argument about what rights we have, what rights Republicans are trying to take away, and how to stop them. Mystal explains how to protect the rights of women and people of color instead of cowering to the absolutism of gun owners and bigots. He explains the legal way to stop everything from police brutality to political gerrymandering, just by changing a few judges and justices. He strips out all of the fancy jargon conservatives like to hide behind and lays bare the truth of their project to keep America forever tethered to its slaveholding past.

Imagine a 1980s world of sumptuous hotel rooms, restaurants, New York City penthouses, and the powerful men who move easily between these pinnacles of luxury. They are music producers, rock stars, writers, and restaurateurs. They are household names like Billy Joel, Art Garfunkel, Eric Clapton, and Sting. And yet, each man has an entire aspect to his life that he doesn’t talk about publicly—his depression, his rocky marriage, his feelings of shame and failure, his private loss of faith. And now: The phone rings. Imagine the woman who has each of these men at her beck and call.

Such a wonderful series.
I already knew about this case but the confirmation for me about my ancestors and the simple fact that energy never dies was the deep part. It’s still so much from this story I find myself mentally unpacking from Chris to her father. As a black women with so much pain from black men. It saddens me the pain that black men have caused us. Would this had of happened to her if her dad did right by her and protected her. Would she have been able to avoid the angel of death if she felt protection. My soul breaks with this story because even married with children this is a pain that never goes away.

This true depiction epitomized the art of storytelling. I cried, I pondered, and I even laughed. Erica took me on a journey with all of the others in a way that felt like I was actually present. I recommend this book to anyone who has a compassionate heart, loves mystery and is okay with broaching tough topics of real lives lived.

I am so moved by Tamika’s story! It is heartbreaking to know that our stories fall by the waist side as if our family members don’t matter. Erika, the way that you told the story of Tamika was absolutely amazing, eloquent, and true to who she was. I felt the pain from the family and her best friend and I will continue to pray that they find peace knowing that she is still watching over them! Thank You for sharing Tamika’s story!

This was a humbling, heartbreaking story. One of millions that have sadly gone untold and unheard, until now.
My only complaint was the last few episodes where there were several minutes of just instrumental music between speaking parts… just too long in my opinion.

Sad
I found this to be a mediocre told audiobook. I have listened to many true crime stories but this one comes up short. Too many times throughout, the results or answers are given too soon thus it lacks in suspense. However it does bring up the important issue of inequality when dealing with black or white missing persons.

Important subject - self-indulgent production
This is an important story, and the subject matter surrounding it undoubtedly needs to be addressed and dealt with. Unfortunately, I felt the producers, and the narrator were overly self-indulgent in not only their production and performance of this work, but also in preparing the content. It seems as though more time was spent on preparing the musical score and interludes, than on the content and detail of the script. Details were glossed over, timelines scattered, and important information either skimmed, or thrown out there briefly with nothing to back it up.
I don't want to be too negative, as I know that the intention and sentiment was definitely in the right place, but unfortunately, so much potential was lost, due to misplaced focus. Tamika's aunt was involved in the production of this I believe, and I think her intimate knowledge of the whole situation, combined with her knowledge of the family's history and background, mean that so much important information was unintentionally/unconsciously left out, as she likely lacked the objectivity to realise that not everyone was approaching this story with that same awareness/knowledge.
I'm also interested to know whether the producers have offered the emotional help so clearly needed and yearned for by Tamika's best friend and former partner. Help which the narrator was keen to point out has been so clearly unforthcoming in the past.
If positive change in the future is the intended outcome for podcasts like these; and I sincerely hope that is the intention, as we need to go beyond 'awareness;' then far more thought needs to go into the production of such work, in order that change happens, rather than just a stirring of emotions.

A book about a murder and racism in society
This is similar to a podcast, with narration interrupted by music and interviews. The author repeats herself and the facts often and the use of ghostly music to emphasise the experience of ghostly visitations is too much. More to the point, shorter and more succint would have been much better. I finished listening early because it was too long for the content.

Inviable black girls
I lived in Duncan, SC at the time this happened. I worked in Spartanburg and I can honestly say I do not remember this happening. I don't recall anyone discussing it or gossiping about it where I worked (a large retail chain). And this brings out one of the points that black girls are sadly "invisable" amd treated inequal in the eyes of the media and law. The performance of the narration was hard to listen to because of the noir style of it and overly annoying and distracting music.

I really appreciated the story telling style and original presentation. I was not familiar with the case but felt it was very well told and gave alternative perspectives. I especially liked that the supernatural elements were not too out there and corny. A really sad story my heart goes out to the family left behind, thanks for sharing your story and helping to raise awareness around the disparities and plight of missing POC ❤️

Decent quality true crime reporting descends into quagmire of spiritualist and soggy religious mush.
Lets Tamika down by undermining factuality and removing her dignity in this sloppy and sentimentalised later part.

The presenter just keeps talking about herself
It’s just so over dramatised by the presenter. She is so busy spreading her agenda that Tamika is lost in the story. Too much

Doesn't work well in audiobook format...
This is an interesting story and brings light onto important issues BUT there are issues with the narration and formatting that make me think this was never intended to be an audiobook. It seems that the publishing of this as an audiobook is an afterthought to the compliation of the story and that I was missing something from the story. It's a quick listen so I recommend checking it out if the story is interesting to you but overall this didn't work for me.
