  • Summary

  • Kate and Dan make a final effort to identify Dorrough's third, unidentified, victim. What they learn forces them to look again at the way they’ve told this story. They go back to the beginning and, in this telling, Dorrough's story is more normal and at the same time, much more troubling. Dan accepts that he can never see the world in the same way again.

Fascinating and illuminating

This should be heard by everyone. This is so interesting and highlights the problem with abusers. I’ve been abused by men and women but the murderers seem to be men. This isn’t a judgmental series and is excellently produced.

One of the best podcasts I've ever listened to

I can't stand sensationalist true crime documentaries or journalism. This is anything but. Throughput, Dan and Kate try to treat the victims as human beings and with dignity. The killer is not portrayed in a glamorous way nor the killings made to sound exciting. There are no big dramatic re-enactment scenes. They try to get balanced viewpoints from across all possible sources.

What really makes this special is Dan's moment of clarity and the way he and Kate then view and unpick their own work. Leaving the listener in no doubt that they will approach future investigations in a different way but that they, as individuals, have been changed by the experience of this investigation.

This is poignant because it is a huge contrast to the way most journalists, documentary film makers and podcasters report on this kind of crime. The "norm" in unconscious bias that we see and hear all around us.

Towards the end, I was reminded of a Cosmo story many years ago advising women to scream "Fire" not "Rape" because it is too personal a crime and would be ignored, whereas "Fire" will bring people running. This remembrance highlighted the sadness of every aspect of this story, for the victims and their families but also the perpetrator and his family and the circumstances that came together to lead to the deaths of four people.

Unwanted male attention

Good to have family of victims put forward concentrating less on the perpetrator. Also as most woman know to highlight that we as females are or have been focus of unwanted male attention

raw thought provoking content on a sad story

very good content that on reflection can be seen to be evident all around if you don't turn a blind eye. Control or loosening control appears to be powerful coupled with prejudice as highlighted in the content. Excellent presentation team and great questions to those involved from family and establishment.

Really interesting and well told

Really interesting story, told respectfully by the journalists and with great focus on the victims not just the killer.

A very human take on a sad story

Interesting story, which obviously had a lot of research time to pull it all together. Sensitively told and with balance. Good listen.

I have so many questions!

It's a really well balanced and thought provoking deep dive into the murky world of lack of support for mental health issues, unresolved child abuse, systemic racism in the police & the misogyny of the press whilst always remembering the human lives lost and the families who somehow have to keep going. I have a theory that the 3rd victim could have been in the 2 weeks between Rick leaving Joy and killing himself - Joy said he went on a spending spree and was using sex workers and she could track his spending via the credit card bills. I wonder if he reoffended in this time and realised he could never stop and chose to take his life. It would be interesting to learn whether the police took the credit card info and backtracked his movements in the last 2 weeks of his life and if any women in the vicinity had gone missing or been killed in that timeframe. Presumably his suicide note was written shortly before he ended his life but after the 2 weeks of living hedonistically and being out of contact with anyone from his life. That's my theory!

An unwinding of a mystery that starts at the end.

I would’ve liked more exploration of one of the last points about the victims. The theme music was on point and the story was well told with an emphasis on the victims and the families. The horrible media angles and the fact that the perpetrators loved ones also are victims and experience loss.
