Excellent

For anyone who thinks they’ve heard every detail regarding Maura, you haven’t. Julie and family do an excellent job of helping us get to know Maura on a more personal side. I’m sure it isn’t easy for them.

It is nice to finally hear the story from a person who has no reason to lie and has inside knowledge of the investigation.

the first two episodes are great. I love the raw emotion you can hear in each person's voice, The touch of intimacy brought by the family is rare and a nice touch. I can't wait to hear the rest of the episodes and truly find out, what happened to Maura Murry.

Extremely well done

Julie states she is not a Podcaster, but she should be! Excellent writing, good pace and exceptional insight into such a tragic story. The music, by Curtis Murray is perfect.

Job well done

For anyone who just wants to hear facts and not be mislead by the rumor mill and poor speculation. This gives more than a glimpse into Maura's family and their dynamic. This podcast is thorough and fact based.

Well written, great interviews

Such a great experience listening to a podcast with a great speaker and interesting story. Rather than a general biased overview this is a very personal inside story about Maura from her sister and family.

Great listen

I came across a story on People about this podcast and immediately looked it up. So far so good, but I have questions…driving on 3 cylinders, a rag in the exhaust pipe, and a name and phone number found in the car? I’m hoping to hear more about this as the series goes on.
I also want to know if her Apple messenger was ever checked.

I hope we find Maura. She seems like an incredible woman and her family misses her terribly.
