The team has produced a podcast that pulls us in and infuriates us with the narcissist manipulative behavior of Amanda.
it's a cautionary tale to trust but Verify when something sounds miraculous.
Well done Nancy Moscatiello!
I have just completed the last chapter. I need to be candid and say I know Nancy's sister she was my hairdresser and in fact did my hair for my wedding in 1990. knowing Sue I can only imagine how proud she is of her little sister. I too have lost a sister and know what it is like to battle for their memory. Amanda was a a scam artist from the word go and had she ever met Sue she likely would have gotten her ass kicked. because Sue would not have had the patience but her little sister Nancy had not only patients and perseverance but the truth on her side. Well done Nancy I know your sister smiling down on you.

Compelling, Infuriating & must listen ...

Incredible, Yet TRUE

Good podcast. Nancy saved it. The podcast’s hostess talks over Nancy. We really don’t need the incessant and annoying keyboard clicking to remind us that a blogger typed the text in the blog. I’m scratching my head about how Amanda and Cory’s relationship was not explored more deeply. That’s the biggest red flag ever. Remember the name Amanda Riley. You’ll hear about her again, and it won’t be good.
