    Spree Killer, Daniel Gonzalez, did nothing but drink, do drugs, play violent video games and watch horror movies. This shouldn’t have been a massive issue, but it became one when Freddy Krueger turned to speak directly to Daniel from the screen.

    In the late 90’s, residents of San Luis Obispo were concerned that a serial killer may be on the loose following the disappearance of two Cal Poly Tech students within a two year span, followed by yet another bright young woman abducted on her way to study at Cal.

    A massive police effort would soon bring to light a separate killer than that of the original, highly publicized Kristin Smart case. This all thanks to the work of a parole officer whom thought to question a recently released inmate he referenced as being short and stocky, yet agile.

Unapologetic

Brother, I listen because youre a phenomenal story teller and youre real, you unselfishly gives us glimpses into your life, warts and all.
The lives of children are segmented, iterations that may last a day or months, they all play their part in the person your son will become. You don't want to miss any of the iterations and any parent listener worth their salt will understand and appreciate your commitment to Family.
All that said, your commitment and professionalism are apparent in your work. Thanks very much

Jack Is A Fabulous Storyteller

His telling of these stories is raw, which is how I want to hear them. The stories are gruesome, and Jack's style is perfect for the telling of them.

Best True Crime Podcast

This is by far my favorite true crime podcast! I really like that it includes lesser known crimes along with more infamous stories. These crimes are obviously well researched and the script and delivery is epic! Luna throws in his personal experiences and goes off script to add a touch of some dark (but hilarious) humor every once on a while but stays on script 90% of the time. I don't get freaked out by descriptions of violence, but this is the only podcast where I've had to pause it a few times to gather myself....only to keep playing bc I have to know how the story ends.

Redefines The Standard

Jack Luna is the greatest true crime podcast host on the planet. I often work the graveyard shift, so I’ve listened to the vast majority of the genre. Both his writing and narration are haunting. His candor and vulnerability, along with his unflinching willingness to explore the most disturbing details of a case, make it feel more like an experience than a podcast.

I listen to a lot of true crime. This is the best.

Jack Luna is an amazing writer and story teller. I’ve told anyone I think would be interested to give it a listen (admittedly is not many; I’m anti-social, ha.) I really can’t get enough. I’ve listened to all of Dark Topic and have also joined the tier 13 Patreon. 11:59 is where it’s at, but Luna kills it with Dark Topic.
