A tad long

Poor Lynn! Justice never happened for her. What a complete mess. I feel like there could have been some editing done to get this down to 6 episodes. 8 was too many.

Loved it! Just too drawn out…

Loved the reporting, amazing narrator, but it definitely could have been consolidated. Just too many episodes! It started to feel repetitive and I found myself zoning out during the later episodes of the podcast. But still definitely worth a listen!

So sad! Spoiler warning, her poor parents wanted to believe she was out there somewhere living a life even a life separate from them and her girls not believing or not wanting to believe their father is a monster. Just so sad!

Should be half the length

Listen to this podcast if you want to hear it 3 times in a single listen. Good, interesting story, but mind numbingly slow and redundant

Instead of calling a 30-something male teacher of a teenage student a r*pist and a pedo, they refer to this child as his “lover.” This is disgusting and the creators of this show should be ashamed of how they represent a very inappropriate relationship as almost normal. Abhorrent. Do better.
