Another reason why I am semi-disappointed is the ending. We do not have Sadie's death entirely confirmed and I would rather know than not. HOWEVER, it does work well with the podcast layout as with most true-crime podcasts there are no true 'ends' after investigations. So I am at a cross-roads between completely hating the ending, and applauding it for its correlation to the realm of true-crime podcasts.Graphic: Adult/minor relationship, Blood, Child abuse, Child death, Death, Grief, Injury/Injury detail, Pedophilia, Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual harassment, Sexual violence, and Violence
