On October 15, 2018, a couple was brutally murdered in a small Wisconsin town, and their 13-year-old daughter vanished without a trace. For 88 days, the search for Jayme Closs was a mystery that captivated the nation and left a grieving family holding its breath. KARE 11 television reporter Lou Ragu…
The 88 Days: The Jayme Closs Story podcast is a truly compelling and emotional true crime series that left me with a strong and impactful reaction. This podcast is a prime example of excellent journalism and storytelling, with just the right amount of sensitivity. The brutal crime that is discussed in this podcast is one that was completely unnecessary, and it is my hope that the family involved can find a way to move forward.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the professionalism exhibited by the hosts. Unlike many other true crime podcasts that include unnecessary banter or off-topic discussions, The 88 Days remains focused on the case at hand and presents the information in a clear and concise manner. The podcast is well-researched, and the interviews with members of Jayme's family add a personal touch to the story, allowing listeners to truly feel their love and emotions.
Another positive aspect of this podcast is its depth. It goes beyond just presenting the facts of the case and delves into behind-the-scenes information about reporting on high-profile criminal cases. This provides listeners with a unique perspective on how these stories are covered by journalists.
On the downside, some listeners may find certain interviews to be too lengthy and in need of editing. While they provide valuable insight into the case, they could have been trimmed down for a more concise listening experience.
In conclusion, The 88 Days: The Jayme Closs Story podcast is an outstanding true crime series that deserves recognition for its professional approach, thorough research, and personal interviews. Despite its few minor flaws, it remains highly recommended for anyone interested in true crime stories that are presented with dignity and respect. I look forward to future podcasts from this talented team.
