"This is a very long, drawn-out podcast about one specific case of a woman that went missing in Australia. I think if I had listened to this as it came out weekly in 2018 and maybe had more emotional attachment to the location and people involved, this probably would have hit a little different. 16 episodes to me was too long and too boring, especially when the case could be summed up in only a couple of episodes. However, I want to give Hedley Thomas props for his investigation that ultimately led to a conviction in this case. "
"Fascinating story but the execution of the podcast made it boring. It dragged on and on and could have been half the number of episodes. The production was so bad that it wasn’t actually edited for content but full interviews with repetitive content were included. Many times the SAME interview was replayed in multiple episodes. "
"I'm listening to the "Someone knows something" series. You?"

"Wonderful podcast about Australian disappearance of wife of rugby player…that brought killer to justice after so many years of getting away with it. But underlying story of how women and girls were treated in 80’s by teachers/predators and society in general, as no one seemed to do anything about it. Not just in Australia! "
