You did a great job telling this horrible story. It’s disgusting to realize this monster of a mother will be out some day.

The best horrifying but brutally honest true crime podcast you will find! I can't stop listening!

My favorite by far!

Well researched and presented.
My only real issue is that many of the interview clips are too quiet compared to the rest of the podcast, so sometimes you have to turn the volume way up to hear them, but then turn it back down quickly when that clip is done playing.

A relatively minor issue though.

Finally, justice for Angie and justice for Chris. Thank goodness for the technology that got the real murderer.

Riveting!!!

But it has to be done... I was totally baffled to hear about people ridiculing him. I guess that was naive of me. He deserves a freaking medal and some privacy.

It's hard doing the right thing....
