  1. I have this on 2x speed and the storytelling is still ridiculously slow, clunky, and almost unlistenable 🤦‍♀️ I know you can do better. It didn’t do the victim justice ☹️

  2. She sold herself by dealing with this guy and the price was too high and when she realized it was too late. There was another podcast that brought this case to my attention, but I need someone to tell it without an over 2 hour embellishments. I like case facts, date and time, actual witness and only video and pictures of the actual people. So I google to get what happen in this case in a straightforward method. I am shocked that he would even be allowed to get out of jail and I sure the shoe company that he was working for in America probably did not want their name mention, but I would like to make sure that by purchasing from them we are not supporting the family or him to live high on the hog once he gets out. Now Lisa's mom only has her son to bring her cheer and grandchildren. I wonder could Lisa family file a civil suit for their damages. Thanks for your coverage of this case. As women we are vulnerable and sometimes it because of decision we make, if it does not kill us we hope it makes us stronger and wiser. RIP Lisa!

  3. Why are u guys so fixated on the camera…? Be in a conversation, tell the story, engage… you two sound like u should be talking about hair and Tupperware.

    These stories need more grace and compassion

  4. Come at me for leaving a negative comment, but this is really hard to listen to. If you cant write a story down and read it, you really shouldnt have a podcast – especially about murder victims.

    The way this story is being told is so disrespectful to the families/victim, because its not being told in a coherent way.

    I couldnt even listen past the fiest 10 minutes because its just so awful.

  5. Her 🛍️ bags were packed she'd booked airplane✈️ tickets 🎟️ Ohh she was definitely leaving… and paper in her pocket she probably wrote that in a hurry to let police know that there were cameras everywhere same as she did when she told her mom "if anything happens to me talk to Michelle… Such a sad story teach your daughters that abuse is not okay at any point in time and to get away from them immediately…

  6. If you want a successful podcast get rid of the face shot of these two, I don’t want to see them. Should also simplify the script and stop talking like a news anchor and just tell the story with the information and leave your stupid jokes and thoughts out of it, we are not here for you at all whatsoever. We are here for the story which I am going to have to go find somewhere else because 2 minutes into this video and it’s unbearable, I came for the story and left because of these wanna be famous dummies

  7. I absolutely adore both of you and love how you present these shows. I love the natural, chatty way you do them – swearing included! 😂 Makes you come across to me as being more real and incredibly relatable. Looking forward to all the shows you are both yet to present to us. 🥰

  8. I don't understand some comments here, if you don't like there story telling, you don't have to watch. There is plenty of true crime channels you can pick and choose.
    I think they are natural and they do a good job. I do not think is easy to describe such a horrific crime.
