2021-05-24 22:16:25 +0000 UTCWhat an insane twist! And here I was rooting for Ryan at the start when he punched Gail's ex for assaulting her when she left him. Such a sad story for a happy young couple.

2021-05-16 07:43:30 +0000 UTCThis episode was brilliantly put together. I had no idea about this case and couldn’t believe what i was hearing.

2021-05-15 08:35:57 +0000 UTCGreat episode! A minor observation: at around 51:17 when it says 'Gail's phone', is it supposed to be 'Pam's phone'? Keep up the good work! You guys are amazing at what you do.

2021-05-11 05:52:32 +0000 UTCI’m part way through the episode and I’m so angry. Ryan has some audacity to forcibly give a woman his burden after killing his sister and brother in law, threaten her life if she dare share his secret, then spend the rest of her life (until she broke) controlling her and your whole family to the point where she makes all the money for the family because he cannot not have control of the kids by home schooling them. I try and be open and compassionate even to perpetrators because we all have our stories and lived experiences but Ryan is genuinely a terrible person who did everything but take responsibility for his actions. He is the most infuriating kind of person.

2021-05-10 22:30:22 +0000 UTCThis one went in a direction I didn't expect halfway through. Think this case also proves how valuable cold case units and reviews really are.

2021-05-10 10:08:31 +0000 UTCHi Jamee yes. But I very, very rarely log in. Only to do the occasional post on a new release, or the last post was regarding the charity run I did I think. Thank you!

2021-05-09 23:40:37 +0000 UTCWhat an awful, sad case. It’s unbelievable that someone’s own sibling could do something like that.

2021-05-09 01:57:32 +0000 UTCCheers again team. I thought it would be not guilty because the case was so circumstantial. I also half expected to find out that Ryan was covering for Pam.

2021-05-08 15:15:21 +0000 UTCOh my gosh... such a sad case... I won't ever be able to fathom how someone is able to do something like this. I don't care what has happened in your family life, but this is not the answer.

2021-05-08 13:54:27 +0000 UTCGreat case! Sad to think someone is capable of causing so much destruction to their own family and get away with it for so long.

2021-05-08 08:07:51 +0000 UTCCasey, I heard you say on a recent AMA that you don’t check any social media anymore (and I don’t blame you one bit!), but clicking on the “anonymous host” link takes us to your Twitter handle. Do you check / run that account? Just curious. You’re amazing and thank you for all you do!!
