Listening Record verdict

Why we recommend it

Paige St. John's approach shifts the center of gravity from the perpetrator to survivors and the systems that failed to connect or adequately respond to what they endured.

Best for: Listeners seeking survivor-focused reporting and a critical examination of investigative blind spots.

Not for: Listeners who need to avoid detailed material involving sexual assault, stalking, murder, and trauma.

Strengths

  • Centers survivors rather than building fascination around the offender.
  • Examines how silence and missed connections shaped the case.

Caveats

  • The survivor testimony and discussion of sexual violence make this an especially difficult listen.

Sensitivity guidance: Contains discussion of sexual assault, murder, stalking, and trauma.
