Jen has a way of telling these stories where it truly just draws you in and makes you feel like you personally know them. I’m truly shocked that more people don’t talk about Jen’s work and her pod...

My new fav!

I love this investigative series! I came across Jen on TikTok and learned about her work and the story of her Aunt Linda who went missing. Jen does incredible work and has a way of telling these stories in such a compassionate and intriguing way. Can’t wait for season 4!

My favorite podcast!

Jen has an amazing ability to tell these stories with such compassion and care. I’ve seen only one negative review about the length of the episodes. If you actually follow Jen you know that the first 3 seasons are short-form and easy to listen to in a full hour. I prefer the shorter episodes since I don’t always have t...

Informative and factual

I love to listen to Jen!! She has an amazing podcast voice, is informative and fact based. The story of Stacey is heartbreaking and frustrating, definitely worth a listen! What a frustrating story: that there’s a creep MONSTER out there. Yo, Bob… 🤬

Seemed pretty ethical to me..

Looking forward to a follow up on this case. I hope they can find the monster who did this. Listening to the retelling of the first psychic’s account of what happened gave me chills. Thank you for sharing Stacey’s story and job well done!!

Bob the “Monster”

This “Bob” guy is extremely suspicious. Given the fact he helped move her in, he knew the layout of the appointment. Not only did he refuse to speak to friends and family and provide any assistance at all, this monster obtained legal counsel and refused to take a polygraph exam. This heartless and soulless monster murd...
