I really enjoyed this episode and this pair of reporters, and I'm glad I was not on the jury because I'm not sure that I could make a decision. I'm so sorry that the judge would not allow evidence of other suspects, that she would not allow audio, and that she was so obviously biased against the defense. Because of these shortcomings, I cannot say with certainty that I feel this man is guilty. I did not hear all of the evidence in his defense.

Great discussion by two gems! I listened to Susan’s audiobook and it was excellent ! I also read the book that Lauren wrote about her past, and you both are very capable of writing another book and hope one or both of you do about the trial. I also hope after the gag order is lifted, you could do another podcast with more information about this case. I hope there is coverage for the sentencing as well! Thank you both for all you have done to provide information to the public during this trial!

One more comment. I listened to Dr. John whom I greatly admire. He talks about Delphi and ridding the town of this plague. Because of an inept police investigation and a hostile judge, I don't feel that this was accomplished in spite of the best efforts of the jury.

Gosh! It’s so much further than I imagined! Very purposeful, him getting there the way he did.

What I think is confusing is he wouldn’t have known that Libby and Abby were going to be there, right? So why was he parking so far away and hiding his car and going in the different way. Like are you saying that he went there with the intent to do this? I guess that’s the part that I don’t get. Like it kind of almost sounds like he planned on going there and doing this and then had a different way to get out of there.

Jury got it right.

Amazing, insightful commentary delivered conversationally by a journalist and forensic psychologist couple from their family home. Wonderfully engaging & intimate. Always linking the discussion of the crime at hand to larger truths about the human condition. One of my absolute favorite crime series.

Your podcast effectively weaves a tapestry of facts, knowledge, instinct and research that not only applies to the cases being discussed, but provides an opportunity for the listeners to employ the strategies discussed and enrich their own relationships.

Podcast I didn’t know I needed: I’ve been an avid true crime podcast listener, always seeming as though I walked away missing something. This podcast fills that void. The deep psychological dive this couple takes is both needed in this world of true crime and much appreciated.

I am stunned by your competency- content and presentation- as a team.

You guys need more followers. I watched all the Daybell-Vallow episodes in one day. I have some of the same traits and mental health issues that Lori has. I don’t want to kill anybody, but you explained the problem. Thank you. I wish you were my mental health professional.

This is the best assessment, hands down, I have heard in years with regard to analysis of the criminal mind…thank you for having such integrity and for not talking down to your audience.

I looked forward to listening to your first podcast and thoroughly enjoyed it. Novel, unique, intelligent, insightful and even inspiring. Who would have thought I could listen to an episode about this case and walk away feeling inclined to be more grateful, grounded, mindful, and accepting of my humanity and mortality? Love both of you and can’t wait for the next one.

I listened to all the podcasts. Very valuable, interesting and intriguing information! I love the way John speaks and teaches. I love his references and stories. I LOVE how he explains Chad’s behaviors through psychology, referencing well respected clinical philosophies. John explains what I sensed about him…I plan to listen to these podcasts again because they are just plain educational! And very interesting. Looking forward to dinner next week!

I love hearing a point of view from someone who understands the mind of a criminal. Please put out more podcasts and consider doing one live. I have so many questions!

This is utterly brilliant. The best podcast I have ever heard. Ever.

The most important podcast I’ve ever heard. This has to be some of the most profound content in media today. A must listen for anyone trying to understand dysfunctional people around them.
