The Murder of Mackenzie Cowell

Mackenzie Cowell was a beautiful 17 year old girl with her entire life ahead of her. She was going to high school, on the dance team, modelling and taking classes at the Wenatchee Academy of Hair design. Mackenzie’s life was cut short and in such a brutal manner that it left Wenatchee stunned. Mackenzie's body was found stabbed, strangled, and mutilated. The case takes so many twists and turns with drug informants, potential cases of mistaken identity and eventually a conviction that left some wondering if the right person was behind bars.

Great Podcast for Crime Junkies!

Well thought out content and interesting commentary. I really enjoy listening to them as I go about my work day. 👍🏻👍🏻

Interesting info but terrible presentation

Maybe it's just this episode, my first, but I had a hard time listening to these podcasters. There is a lot of cheezy exclamations and gratuitous swearing. I'm not offended by swearing but there is so much of it that the podcasters make themselves sound like a couple of illiterate goofballs. They're the female version of guys that say "dude" all the time. There is too much quality content out there to waste time on this

not my cup of tea

Way too much babbling. Way too much of jumping off subject. They're not silver tongued story tellers. I felt that this podcast is just for commercials, because it's just not that good.
