Your own backyard

This podcast is dedicated to the disappearance of Kristin Smart in 1996 from the campus of Cal Poly. The host, Chris Lambert, was only a child when Kristin went missing but he has taken on his own investigation and podcast.
Last Update 2/16/2020
I just finished the podcast today and I give this a 5 out of 5 stars. I start each episode thinking, what more can he say. Well, there's a lot and I will be googling this case for updates until Kristin is found.

Episode 1
You are introduced to Kristin through her family and friends. A bit slow but necessary to learn about the victim. By end of this episode you will believe the host is totally committed to this podcast. I'm now hooked.

Episode 2
The main and only suspect is discussed. If you are not totally hooked by now, don't listen to any more episodes.

Episode 3
Chasing down the main suspect. You get very anxious listening to this episode, why can't they catch this guy?

Episode 4
Help from North Carolina and mistakes by police

Episode 5
Following up on leads from all sources

Episode 6
A newspaper publisher gets into the act

Episode 7
SLO finally speaks to the podcast. I have some hope now. Well see....

Update 2/1/2023
The suspect was finally convicted.

The Coldest Case in Laramie from Serial

The coldest case in Laramie is a podcast about a murder 30 years prior and narrated by a New York times journalist who was in high school at the time. The podcast tells the story of bad police work, faulty memories and creepy suspects. I can't rate this 4 stars because I thought the recording of the suspect interviews went on a bit too long. The case does not get wrapped up in a nice bow. 3 1/2 stars out of 4

Suspect

 I finished season 1 last year and then forgot about the series, just started season 2. The episodes are clear and concise but I'm basically reviewing season 1. The podcast starts on Halloween night in Redmond, Washington. The next day, a young woman, Aprana is found dead. There is no shortage of suspects. I liked the podcast and it kept me intrigued. By only complaint is the audio on some of the phone interviews.   3 1/2 stars out of 4 https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/e8a3c6e3-3d78-4c83-a61d-a95e70acacb0/suspect
