Humanized by lots focus on the victims

This podcast (I’ve listened to the whole season) paints a vivid picture of the victims. The perpetrator is clearly a psychopath, and I did have some morbid curiosity about him. However, the portrayal of the victims gave them depth and definition, and left this listener with some sense of the terrible loss from the crimes described. I didn’t know them, but I deeply wish they were alive today. That humanized and added beauty to what would otherwise have been solely a grim tale about a dreadful person.
