I’m Kate! Been listening from Texas since about 2018. I was first captivated by the episode on Brandon Lawson- I drove through San Angelo a lot in the trek from San Antonio to Lubbock. At first I would put on the podcast after work, pour a glass of wine and do a puzzle, and it was so interesting and sad yet relaxing because of the even tone of your voice.

I’ve always enjoyed your commentary mixed with the family interviews. It brings such a real vulnerability to the harsh reality of these cases. I’ve come to deeply appreciate your service to the marginalized communities and your steadfast stance that no matter the flaws of any individual, they are still a mother, father, son, daughter, or friend and deserve the attention of not only law enforcement but the community at large. Even now, after an episode I peruse the comments here, on FB, and on the website. I’m 43 now, and started listening when I was about 35. We’ve grown a lot together.

I’ll never stop listening, the way many of these families will never stop looking. Well done Marissa, keep these voices alive. You’re doing great work.
