Interesting and I appreciated hearing from Melissa’s POV/her story

I started listening to this podcast as it felt more like Melissa’s story and I found that part more compelling than just hearing about a really sick/mentally ill serial killer. It felt very human to me and honest in its storytelling. One area I wished they’d given a little more info on was what happened to the other two kids. Are they ok? Are they estranged? Did their lives go down a path of misfortune due to their upbringing? It’s obvious they want to remain anonymous, but I would have appreciated knowing more than a general anecdote in how the rest of the family ended up...

Great podcast but border lining self absorption

This is a great podcast that provide insights to lives of victims people otherwise would not have access to. It’s a true crime podcast with a fresh angle. And Melissa’s experience is quite unique. But I can’t help to wonder what makes Melissa seek spotlight and expose her private Life so much. One line bothers me from the podcast, “Melissa hasn’t seen her mother in years”. Don’t know if I have heard it right, but why can’t she reach to everyone without the audio and the media attention. It would be helpful if she can explain this to listeners.

Great podcast, terrible music

Skipped ahead every time the music played, still confused why podcasts need to have their own theme song.

Pitch Black

This show is one of the darkest I’ve ever heard. It is ridiculously depressing. While I appreciate what it’s trying to do, it is also ethically dubious and relentlessly dreary... it should’ve been just 4 or 5 episodes instead of 12... it goes on and on hitting the same beats.

Not what i expected-thank god.

I was coming into this podcast expecting/wanting it to be an investigative point of view. After two episodes i was wondering-what’s the point of this? Thank God i kept listening. We don’t need more Netflix shows about Ted Bundy’s life, we don’t need anymore attention on the killers. The VICTIMS and their families are the only ones who matter. Melissa’s story and Dons story had me in tears. Some listeners are calling Melissa an “attention-seeker”...I think Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, Ed Kemper, Keith Jesperson are the real attention-seekers. And justice only prevails when the victims speak out. This podcast is powerful.

Music is good

You have to be creatively sterile to not enjoy the music in this podcast. It’s appropriate and the story is well told.

Good story bad tunes

The story and hearing from the daughter is a twist. Enlightening to hear from the daughter and how this transformed her life. The music is bad and some of those sounds actually hurts my ears. Had to skip ahead a certain times.

Enjoyable

Starts very good. Then it kinda wears out. But the music is non-tolerable at times.

Great Story

Truly remarkable journey of self-discovery and redemption of the soul. Narration and production is excellent. To be honest it really grips you at certain points and it can be challenging to really take it all in. Both my parents are no longer here with me and I really understand grief and how painful it can be. This is a gut wrenching story for anyone wanting to know more about loss, recovery, forgiveness, darkness, effects of abusive behavior and just how much impact our upbringing can really leave on our soul.

One of the best! Gives me chills 😱

I love this podcast. The storytelling and production is on point! Talking heads bore me. This one had me hanging on every word.

Been waiting for this!

I’ve been waiting for a podcast from Melissa! My only feedback would be to check sources. Dr. Carlisle had binders of letters from Keith and anyone who talked to him in depth about them KNEW that they were full of lies and embellishments. To gain from their correspondence you needed to not take these letters at face value, but look at WHY Keith was telling stories the way he was.

Music reviews are wrong!

I’m only halfway though, but one of my favorite things about this is the haunting music. It’s perfect. I really don’t understand all the negative reviews.

People be cray

I LOVED this podcast and have absolutely no idea why so many of the reviews discuss the music as detractive and so terrible. I adored the music, and thought it set the pace appropriately for the theme of the podcast. Interesting story and even BETTER music. Rock on my friends!!

Very interesting!

I had never heard of this story until I stumbled across this podcast. I was immediately drawn in. I have always been interested in truck drivers who are also sociopaths/narcissists. It’s a lifestyle that allows them to act out. I actually enjoyed the creepy/haunting music. I feel bad for Julie’s son but like others have said, I think he struggles to negotiate his image of her versus her reality/lifestyle. It was not her fault in any way. She was not a good mother it appears. I feel for all affected by this monster. This podcast is worth the listen and is binge-worthy.

Captivating

Captivating podcast! Kept me totally engaged and I ended up binge-listening to the whole thing instead of pacing myself as planned.

Binge worthy

I listened to this entire series in one day. I thought it was great. I little frightening - but it was a great journey to be a part of, I hope Melissa and her siblings are healing. Music was not bad, a little melancholy. But this podcast is not Suzy sunshine. The music fit the story.

Review

The focus is on the daughter of a serial killer. She’s mentioned directly in the synopsis so I’m not sure why it’s mentioned as a negative in the reviews. I like the direction of the podcast as it gives insight into something not often highlighted in true crime. Also, I enjoyed the music. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Beautifully done

Heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, Melissa! Don’t listen to the haters on here. They don’t get it. Also, the music is perfect. Thank you to everyone involved with this podcast.

All but the music

Agree with a lot of other reviews. I enjoyed the raw reality but I HATED the music. I’m an easy grader so still have 5 stars and would recommend but the music was excruciating.

Happy Face

This Podcast has been done with such respect to the victims and in such a concise and detailed manner. Enjoy it very much. Also I live the music played throughout, it adds to the level of emotion and intensity of the topic at the time it is played. Well done!

WOW! Just finished season 1

I just wrapped up a binge of season one and each episode brought a raw, gripping account of Melissa’s journey as she comes to terms with her father’s gruesome crimes. The inclusion of different sources and interviews really rounds out the story.

Really good podcast, annoying music

I am really enjoying this podcast... it’s fascinating! However, the music that is played ALL THE TIME is so annoying. I wish it wasn’t there or something different.

Good story but the music is painful

Could be trigger

I can’t imagine being the daughter telling such a story. True crime is intriguing but this is told by the daughter of a serial killer. Adds a new emotion. One episode describes a scene I don’t know I’ll ever get out of my head.

Riveting and Raw Emotion

Huge applause for showing the vulnerability and allowing others to hear her story. I was so fasinated that I ended up also reading the book about her father to better understand his mind. Regardless congrats on her bravery for opening up and sharing. This will help others out there. Excellent work!
