Lol yeah this one on YouTube music only having one part got me to sign up for pattern to finish was driving me nuts
Excellent work as always, and kudos for the early gift! Depressing case and what a character--as much as I don't like John Douglas I'll admit his profile was accurate. Unfortunately further spurned the stranger danger fire of the times (maybe even until now).
Wow, what a heartbreaker this was. Just devastating, and still so many unanswered questions. Thanks as always for your excellent work, guys.
This is incredibly early. I’m not complaining though
Early weekend gift!!
So early! Wooow
Finally, I can never listen to episodes where only part one is out lol
Same, I always have to wait the extra week and then listen to them both at once — which makes it extra nice this one is out early! Thanks, Casey et al!
It's early!! 😲
