Well Done. Excellent presentation of the facts and situation. Sad story on the deprivity of two old ladies who valued money above humanity.

Frightening that it is real

Such a diabolical pair, lives lost. Eventually the women received the verdict and sentencing they deserved. Dateline narrator, Keith Morrison is always enjoyable to listen to, such a calm, soothing voice, no matter the subject matter...

If this wasn't true you'd have to worry about the person who would make it up! Riveting, keeps you wanting to listen to all the episodes at once. My husband even got interested in it when I was listening to it in our car. His mother was Hungarian and escaped from the communists around the same time.....interesting...

wow!

I am a huge fan of Dateline's TV program and new to podcasts. So I was extremely pleased to find this in-depth case study. I hope to find more.

Highly entertaining...

I’m confused. It is labeled the 1st episode, but throughout the narrator says it’s episode 4. The actual story doesn’t match the description posted here. Has potential but I’m confused.

Labeled wrong?
