A Benchmark for all True-Crime Content

Very victim-focused and respectful of the family. The care and dedication put into this is phenomenal, and the level of engagement with and consideration for the Smart family is what all true crime should aspire to achieve. Initially thought his voice sounded little too placid, but by episode two I found it perfect for how measured and meticulous he is in telling Kristin’s story and the aftermath. He treats this story like the tragedy it is, rather than a sensational mystery. We need more true crime content like this.
Respectful journalism and beautiful storytelling

Chris does an amazing job bringing light to Kristen’s story and a voice to those who loved her. It’s breathtaking and absolutely heartbreaking.
Justice for Kristen
Jan 21
Chris, I can’t put into words how amazing this podcast is. Instead of merely capitalizing and exploiting on a family’s tragedy like many true crime content creators, you handle this case in such an impartial, investigative, sensitive matter that you literally played a critical role in actually solving this case that should have been solved 26 years ago. I think it’s really telling to see the Smart family’s reaction to you and your work— you did justice by giving their loved one a voice. Unbelievably amazing. As a female Cal Poly alum, this case is close to my heart and I am so grateful for your part in getting an actual monster predator off the streets. May he rot in jail for the rest of his rotten days and continue to be stabbed at any opportunity. Someone like that walking free for 26 years is honestly terrifying and so telling of our legal system, especially when related to sex crimes. I’m so grateful for your work. Thank you.

Wow! What an amazingly gifted journalist. Kristen Smarts story was told so eloquently with such respect for her and her family. I couldn’t stop listening! May Kristen’s family find some comfort in knowing that, although justice wasn’t swift, the monster is behind bars! And his real punishment is yet to come.
Thoughtful storytelling

Chris did a great job bringing unbiased, impactful information to the light. Glad this case was solved, and some justice served. I hope one day we will know where Kristin is laid to rest.

This podcast was so powerful. It had me glued to my AirPods for weeks. It was so well done. I’m am so impressed and I hope this will bring more attention to this case that has frustrated all of us. Kristin Smart deserves to be found. Her parents and family should be able to lay her to rest. May she rest in peace.
