txhorns79 August 9, 2017 Share August 9, 2017 Quote I think it's underrated -- nobody serves NYC sweltering in the summer like Spike Lee -- but also self-indulgent (the Who sequence with the dummy). I also think it's hard to put together a portrayal of that period that acknowledges the state of things without yawing too far into apocalyptic hellscape. I can agree with you on that. Summer of Sam would have worked better to me as a tighter movie without the tangents. You are also right on the hellscape. It does feel like every documentary/movie regarding New York in the 70s has to do the usual montage of "Bronx is Burning/Blackout/Studio 54/Times Square - Porn/Hooker Capital of the World," and there's a serious temptation to make that the only story that is told.

swimmyfish August 11, 2017 Share August 11, 2017 Do you think the handwriting "expert"'s mention of the name Kane was maybe a reference to Cain and Abel? Like, if they could tell from the handwriting that the Zodiac had a lot of anger toward women - and not from the evidence of him brutally murdering a bunch of women - maybe the handwriting was also indicative that this killer was a lot like Cain, the first killer, in that they both killed people? That does seem like the kind of thing that could only be determined from handwriting, after all. [/sarcasm] In addition to the series of Sarah dramatically narrating Eve's daily activities, I would really love to hear more about the holes Eve sees in the different Zodiac theories.

I never really gave thought to the idea that the survivors in the Zodiac attacks may have had a role, and were using the Zodiac as a cover. Now that it has been said, it seems obvious, though I guess it will never be proven one way or the other at this point.

A woman who was 7 months pregnant and was stabbed to death in a sand pit. It is "alleged" that her husband hired two men to kidnap his wife from the mall, bring her to the pit, so he could watch them murder her. I stated that he allegedly did it because he was acquitted at trial, even though his accomplices confessed and testified against him. News cameras followed him as he literally walked out of jail. He was flashing a big wad of cash and saying things like "The bitch was nothing but trouble for me, she won't be anymore.". I felt so sick watching him get away with it. It was the first time I really hit with the fact that the justice system doesn't always work and sometimes the bad guys win. Then there was the OJ trial. .. So as I watched the Peterson case unfold, I became really invested. I was so afraid that yet another man would just get away with it.

veronicamers August 17, 2017 Share August 17, 2017 Sarah, your engagement story is seriously the best.Oh Scott Peterson. I remember getting into a heated discussion with a dude at work who was convinced there was no evidence to convict him. I was arguing the totality of circumstantial evidence (a term I maybe just made up) notion: that one piece by itself was not enough, but when you layer all of it there is really no other legit explanation for her death other than Scott was responsible. Also this case seem to set off a chain of high profile/intensely covered cases of men murdering their pregnant wives. One of the more heartbreaking one was Lori Hacking in Utah in 2004. It became such a thing...every time a woman would go missing we'd be all "Well, was she pregnant?" And a running gag with my husband during my two pregnancies where every instance of weird behavior (or even the most routine thing like updating life insurance) became fodder for a potential murder plot. But baby, a true crime nut like me is the last person you'd want to try to kill. I'm two steps ahead a ya.An interesting book on men murdering their wives is Erased: Missing Women, Murdered Wivesby Marilee Strong. I read it years ago. She discusses Peterson, Hacking, our old pals Robert Durst and Jeffrey MacDonald, and one of my all time "favorite" cases: Ira Einhorn and the murder of Holly Maddux.

I have a strong suspicion the network contracted with the Ramseys for exclusive new interview material in exchange for presenting them in a favorable light.

John Potts August 18, 2017 Share August 18, 2017 OK, I know nothing of this case, but I do recall thinking when I heard a the co-worker commenting on the OJ trial, "He's only **** gone and got away with it!" - hang on, twelve people listened to the evidence for weeks and didn't reach a guilty plea, you've heard the headlines and know better? I can't help thinking that I might act in a similar way if my wife had died - cleaning the house seems like the sort of thing I might do as a sort of displacement activity to avoid thinking about her death (although I'd have to have a wife first!). I'd also, from my knowledge of TV, know that talking to cops is probably a bad idea, certainly without a lawyer, so I'd do all the things that make people go, "He's got something to hide!" - but would probably keep me out of prison. So if you ever hear of the "John Potts Murders", this will be either count as proof of my innocence or shows just how devious I am in establishing my alibi!

SanLynn August 18, 2017 Share August 18, 2017 Another great episode. Having only seen the first ep of the Laci Peterson murder I'm pretty skeptical of blaming it on the burglars. I'm supposed to believe these idiots who rob homes on Christmas Eve in broad daylight were smart enough to hold on to Lacey (or her body) for 2-3 days after kidnapping her so they can know where Scott went that day and then dump her body in the same place?Plus why didn't anyone see them shove her into their van? Clearly there were people people everywhere if the witnesses are remembering things correctly.The story just seems too implausible to hold together.

Nanna September 13, 2017 Share September 13, 2017 Great episode. I went ahead and watched the first two episodes of The Confession Tapes, and it's both heartbreaking and shocking. That the police would call that guy's job and make sure to ruin his life if he didn't testify was really ... I don't know what to say. On a positive note, it's very well made and def one of the better true crime shows out there.

Hank3 September 13, 2017 Share September 13, 2017 Have watched the first two episodes. VERY Good. Right up there with Making a Murderer and The Keepers. Netflix is on a roll with these crime documentaries. I'm not sure what to think about the two youngins...if they indeed do the crime or not. The second one, I didn't believe he was the killer. Man, the interrogators have such a stronghold and persuasive tactics on these suspects sometimes.

formerlyfreedom September 14, 2017 Share September 14, 2017 I have a suggestion and a question; in reverse order, are you planning to watch American Vandal, which is dropping on Netflix on Friday? So far, I've heard good things about it, and I'm interested to see a good parody of the genre that I love so much. Probably not worth an entire segment on the podcast, but if you do watch it, I'd be interested in your take. As far as a suggestion; SundanceTV is showing Cold Blooded: The Clutter Family Murders in November; Quote SundanceTV announced that its four-hour documentary series Cold Blooded: The Clutter Family Murders from Academy Award® nominee Joe Berlinger will air as a two-night special event on Sat., Nov. 18 and Sun., Nov. 19 starting at 9/8c. The series focuses on the infamous crime that shocked the nation and was chronicled in Truman Capote’s seminal book, In Cold Blood – the Nov. 15, 1959 brutal murder of four members of the Clutter family in their home in a small Kansas farming community, a crime seemingly without motive. An AMC Studios, RadicalMedia and Third Eye Motion Picture Company production, the true crime documentary takes a fresh in-depth look at the legendary case – digging into the resulting investigation, and the convictions and executions of Perry Smith and Richard Hickock My mom, an Iowa raised farm girl, read Truman Capote's book around the time she got pregnant with me, while living alone in southern California when my dad was away in the service. She also read Rosemary's Baby when she was pregnant with me. Pretty sure this all explains a lot about how I turned out.
