I knew about Amanda Lamb from when we lived in Raleigh. So when I saw she had a podcast, I gave it a try. Sure glad I did! This podcast is so well written by Ms. Lamb, perfectly narrated by her with empathy and clarity, and covers subjects of great interest such as forensic genealogy and the genesis of the DNA Network in a way that makes them easy to understand. She combines a real case with an explanation of processes. There is just the right amount of interviews to make it feel personal. Give this informative podcast a try and you will be hooked!

I will probably subscribe, but I’m sorry I started with the case of baby Michael. Who are these horrible people who condemn desperate women. In this case the woman was an adult, but often it’s a frightened teenager. They are usually from religious families and feel terrible shame. I was disgusted listening to all the judgemental men out to find this woman at any cost. Her life matters too. I note that they gave the baby the name of a saint—a Catholic saint—keep your religion out of your work. Amanda Lamb touched on some of this toward the end and she did her job as a journalist; it was the men I found to be absolutely paternalistic, vindictive, with misplaced compassion. Of course it was a tragedy—for everyone, including Debra.

Very interesting to hear this side of true crime. Well narrated and great interview pieces.

This is such a well reported and produced podcast. Thank you for all the time you put into each episode.

Very interesting and informative. Highly recommend!

Amanda Lamb is excellent in this podcast-5 stars from me!

I am a huge true crime fan, and an even bigger Amanda Lamb fan, so this podcast is SUCH a treat for me. 10/10, my new fave TC podcast.

What a joy it is to listen to a professional writer and experienced news journalist develop and deliver a storyline that’s informative, continually interesting and always respectful. Amanda Lamb is exactly the type of person you’d gladly tell your own story to knowing it will be retold with the greatest care. I’m binge listening and on episode six. I sure hope she will continue this podcast for a long time to come.
