    The Amy Should Be Forty podcast is a compelling and well-researched true crime podcast that delves into the case of Amy Mihaljevic, a young girl who was abducted from a shopping plaza in Bay Village, Ohio in 1989. This podcast sheds light on the details of the case, explores possible suspects and theories, and highlights the tireless efforts of investigators and journalists to find justice for Amy.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the thoroughness of the research and investigation presented. The host, Andrew Horansky, provides listeners with detailed information about Amy's disappearance, including interviews with her family members, law enforcement officials, and individuals involved in the case. The inclusion of archival footage from WKYC adds an extra layer of authenticity to the storytelling.

    Another standout aspect is the narration by Andrew Horansky. He strikes a perfect balance between empathy and journalistic objectivity as he guides listeners through the complexities of this tragic case. His storytelling skills are top-notch, keeping listeners engaged throughout each episode.

    However, one drawback of this podcast is its brevity. While it covers the main aspects of the case effectively, some listeners may feel that more could have been explored or expanded upon. Additionally, some may find the ending to be somewhat anticlimactic since there has not yet been a resolution to Amy's abduction after all these years.

    In conclusion, The Amy Should Be Forty podcast is a gripping and well-produced true crime series that brings attention to a cold case that still haunts many people today. It offers valuable insights into both the technical details and emotional impact surrounding Amy's disappearance. Despite its short length and lack of resolution at present, it serves as an important reminder to never forget about victims like Amy and continues to hold out hope for justice.
