Terrifying but gripping

Brilliant true crime series but truly terrifying at the same time! Absolutely awful what happened to these girls, I cannot begin to imagine what they went through, I hope they find the sick bastard.

True story that baffles in this day and age

I feel for these brave survivors and cannot understand how in this day and age he remains at large. They need their closure. Hopefully they will be able to catch this monster

Terrifying

From the outset I found this podcast to be spine-tingling. The ladies' accounts of their attacks was devastating and I think they're so brave for telling their stories.

Took far too long to get to the point

Took far too long to tell us that the case remains unresolved . The title , I thought, was deceptive. There was way too much repetition.

The case isn’t resolved

I don’t really know the point in this as it isn’t resolved. It was just telling us about how many times this man hasn’t been caught. I was hoping it had an ending but unfortunately not.

Episode 3

The narrator (survivor voice) mumbles the end of every sentence and it is very difficult to understand what is being said. All others are excellent.
A very difficult subject to tackle and also pitch correctly. I appreciate the skill involved.
