This is such a well done podcast. It reminds me of Serial and the Payne Lindsey podcasts. So goood! I am from Alabama and have not heard of these. Love the in-depth reporting!

Fascinating true stories of murder. You will be amazed at what you learn about justice for the victims and their families!

I can’t wait for a new season 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

We need updated

Great job! I’ve listened to all 3 seasons! Ready for another one❤️

My family is from Walker County. Thank you for covering these stories. There is so much corruption and suspicious activity that goes on there - in both local government and in community. Very glad to have found this podcast.

This had become my favorite podcast. Are you going to make any more? Y’all do great work!

I’ve been so touched by Eric and gypsy’s case. I have a lump in my throat thinking about it. Coming from a town with corruption and drugs running the town I would like to say what brave women Tobbie and Amber are. Well done.. the world lost a light with the loss of Eric and Gypsy ❤️

All podcasts by Amber are the best. She is thorough in her investigations and works hard to help these families find closure. She isn’t afraid to expose the corruption that seems to involve many different agencies of law enforcement. You will not be disappointed.

I am loving these podcasts! She speaks clearly and has passion for what she speaks about. I love that there is no vulgar language.

Excellent!! Great research and investigation. Very detailed and interesting.

This is the worst podcast I’ve ever heard. The hostess goes on and on and on, repeats herself, and now a 2+ hr episode. I’ll save myself a headache and unsubscribe.

Well researched with documented details.

Funny how Jolynn Murphy is assumed to be in a lot of murders and missing !! Also funny how she on her Facebook is in a relationship with Cody Ballard now hummm 🤔🤔

I have tried to find the best true crime podcast and finally found it! Professionally done, great insight and keeps you wanting more. No drunk podcast about death with laughs, not hating on all LE versus the bad ones, not berating it’s listeners if they don’t agree, and no drawn out and boring. I love this podcast!

I love this podcast and I look forward to new episodes! The information given is always detailed and presented in an orderly way, which I appreciate!!!

Need new episodes!!b I’m hooked!!

Couldn’t stop listen grate job

My husband and I are hooked! Thank you, Amber, for all your hard work and dedication to these cases! Sam & Wes Cullman, Al

Love it!

I can’t say enough about this podcast! It’s THE BEST!!! I haven’t been this hooked on something since I finished criminal minds! 10/10!!

Awesome investigating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love the show

This show is very well done! What a great podcast!!

This podcast is incredible. The writing, the research, everything about it is perfect. You won’t want to miss this podcast.

Wasn’t sure I would like this one but I was so wrong. Still on Season 1 but I’m addicted! Love the investigative host.

Love your podcast! You help so many and speak for those that can’t. You try to make sure people are not forgotten. For someone to give a bad rating because of grammar is so stupid on their part. The work you do is fantastic and well appreciated by so many. Screw your words up, those who get the real objective to what you’re doing won’t mind a bit. Keep up the good fight!

I am the wife of Jeff the bondsman. I have been listening to the pod cast since day one and it’s been so informative! Y’all are doing a great job! i have had so many people message me to tell me that my husband was mentioned in the episode and had me worried because we weren’t notified that he was going to be mentioned but all is good because it is public info and what was said is how it all went down. jeff and i want justice for her and we hope it is found! keep up the amazing job!

Expertly researched, fearlessly investigated and clearly narrated. Amber and Michael are doing great things by uncovering the truth for these families.

So well researched, written and delivered. I cannot even imagine being in the place of Eric‘s mom. What a strong powerful woman! And Amber is doing such important work on the behalf of people who have not only experienced devastating murders but then have been victimized and brutalized by law enforcement who are paid by the citizens to protect & serve. I am so impressed with Amber’s investigative work and can’t stop binge listening even though the content is emotionally distressing to hear. I want to add to my review that I neglected to mention the excellent work Michael does. His skills are amazing. I would certainly want someone like him to be working on my loved ones behalf

I listen to this show on a Whim the other night when I couldn’t sleep and was hooked. I binged it. You guys are fierce and brave for calling out sloppy police work! I love every second of it! Thanks for shinning a light on people that are missing who have no voice. I think of Eric Cates daily, and pray for a resolution for his sweet momma.

As a true crime fan and lifelong Alabama resident, I Love this podcast. The stories make you remember that trouble is never that far away. And it exposes corrupt public officials. Don’t miss a single season!!

This podcast is excellent at shining a light on the goings on in small town Alabama. Keep up the great work. Hopefully the truth will come to light soon. I am always eagerly awaiting the next episode and listen to it as soon as it’s out! Great job!

Just wanted to say thank you from Georgia. I’m obsessed with this podcast, not just with how well narrated it is, but how incredibly well researched theses cases are. Simply stellar!

I have been hoping someone competent would take on these cases and corruption in the form of a podcast. I just binged every single episode. So professionally and thoroughly executed. Also, done with noble intent..for justice and to stand up for victims and their families who are suffering so much. These cases have burned into my soul but truly didn’t know how to help. In this upside down world we are currently living in, it gave me some hope to see people giving their time, resources and talents to the cause of what is right, expecting nothing in return but results for these families. Best series I have heard ever. I would give 10 stars if I could.

Overall, the first few episodes I’ve listened to are okay. But the host likes to regularly repeat things. We get it. No need to hammer it home. Also, as someone who has been a victim of domestic violence her “tone” when making statements like “whhhy didn’t she leave” and other statements made come off like victim blaming. It isn’t as easy as you think to walk away when you have kids, pets, belongings, and a partner who controls your every move and money.

I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts. This one is just ok. There’s a fair amount of repetition and over explaining of things that are not complex concepts. My biggest pet peeve is the occasional mispronunciation of words by the host. For the record, “supposably” is not a word. PLEASE STOP SAYING IT.

I live in Alabama abs was recommended this show. I’m hooked and not a typical crime podcast listener. Since discovering this show I’ve tried others and they just don’t compare.

I so enjoyed the Secrets True Crime , I live in Alabama and didn’t have a clue to so much corruption in police office as in Walker co. My husband was a police officer for 25 years so I firmly take police work seriously and nobody especially law enforcement should ever look at murder crimes lightly. I have a theory on Cates murder. It just wouldn’t surprise me if police were involved or protecting someone.

Thank you for all that you do for the family and friends of the people who have lost their lives and need answers. I have been following the Eric and gypsy story on Facebook for years and I’m so glad that you all have taken your time on this much needed story that needs to be heard. I hope and pray that this will help get justice for Eric and Gypsy’s death. You guys are doing an amazing job and I love this podcast.

I listened to dozens of Podcasts and this is a very good one. The Podcasts are not scripted like a lot of others that speculate on stuff. Lots of actual interviews with the people that are involved. Not tons of commercials and doesn’t lean to always blaming law enforcement for every single thing. Just factual and not biased. A nice change.

So thankful you have shined light on the Eric Cates and Gypsie murder. I know some of his family and I am so very thankful that someone is finally discussing the logistics of this case. Several of us from work started listening to this podcast and now I have also listened to season 1 as well. I have actually lived in Wetumpka so that hits close to home as well. Hopefully people will start coming forward with information to solve these cases. Thank you again!!!

So I just started listening, but it so weird to me how Eric said he was going to a bbq Friday night and the next day he was found burned in his truck. Hopefully as I move threw the podcast some light will be shed on that. Just very odd to me.

How does Walker County Police continue to get by with such as this? I have known Toby for many years and she’s a great person only doing what a parent should do. I’m sure they would have locked me up more than once if I was dealing with what Toby is. Great podcast and very needed

I live in Birmingham AL. This hits home in a way I cannot describe. It isn't only about the victims but other crimes uncovered during this gripping discovery. The plot thickens, as it is said, AND OH BUT HOW! Let me say, if you enjoy true crime, small town Secrets is for you. Press PLAY NOW! I blew through 9 episodes. Great job Amber and kudos to Toby, (the parent) for fighting for the truth..I want to hear MORE AND MORE of this very twisted cold case that continues. You will enjoy how the story is told as well as the unbelievable circumstances that happened just two counties over from my home town.

Love the podcast! Only complaint is I do not see the final bonus episode for the Hayden Mayberry case. The last one I heard was called Smoke after that nothing. What’s up?

The police need to be policed.

OMG!! I just found this podcast a few days ago and listened to all the episodes in two days.. I live in Alabama so this podcast really interests me.. I need more episodes please..

Just finished Season 1 and it was incredible. I’ve been looking for a podcast that spends an entire season on a single crime. Bonus is I live in Alabama and familiar with the locations where the stories are taking place. Next up, Season 2!

I feel bad saying this, but I stopped listening because of the host’s voice. Her cadence bothers me. It could just be I don’t like southern accents
