The BEST analysis of this case
I recommended this podcast to anyone who’s interested in Jennifer Kesse. Being from Orlando this case is fascinating to me. My mom and I wholeheartedly believe it’s Campos who is the killer. Now that the case has “new information” and active, I really hope you pick up where you left off!!!

I’m not sure
I was really excited about this podcast. I have followed Jennifer’s case for years and just last week someone mentioned this podcast. First 4 episodes had me hooked, even tho I felt like the host was dismissing things too early. Then episode 5 with Lisa came and that was when they jumped the shark for me. I know they tried to explain the whole thing on the next episode but I was done listening. They have the heart on the right place and I feel like they really meant good but it was poorly done.

Terrible
This host drones on and on repeating the same information dozens of times. It’s like when your teacher tells you to write a 10,000 word essay and you don’t know anything about the topic so you just make it all up and say the same thing over and over again. I got part of the way through episode 2 and gave up. This “host” gave more details about his own life than the case of this missing woman. I don’t understand how this is a featured true crime podcast as I have never listened to anything worse than this. He even says he is not a reporter, podcaster or investigative journalist but don’t worry because that is very obvious when he has made zero points about the case over halfway through the first episode. I would give this zero stars if I could.

Good idea done badly
The Jennifer Kesse case, like any unsolved abduction, deserves to be publicized. And as a true crime lover, I thought I’d like this podcast. The host is fine - I’m not bored by his voice like others. But the editing is terrible. The long, drawn out interviews with Lisa and Erika could have been cut significantly or summarized. Listening to the entirety of those two interviews made it hard for me to want to keep listening.

I do not understand why we are listening to a long drawn out story from an obviously racist woman in Tenessee. She mentions over and over and over and over that this “ a black man “.
Unless this one character’s ethnicity is critical to the episode … there no reason to leave this in. Are you going to mention over and over and over and over the white lady in all the other episodes ? Totally ruined it .

Interesting
Very thorough. Covered different angles of the case.

No
The host speaks as though he’s telling a bedtime story. Does he want awareness or sleeping listeners? BUT I actually stopped listening when the guy who’s hosting a podcast says “I’m not a podcaster”. That was as far down that rabbit hole I intended to go. Bye 👋🏽

I have followed this case since 2006. It's unfortunate the speaker is difficult to listen to very unnatural and b o r i n g. Just can't listen

Great coverage, very thorough
I am not understanding all the negative reviews. I really like the pace and descriptions of the narrator. I find it easy to follow and clearly laid out. I tend to have a short attention span but the host is able to keep my attention from beginning to end. Prayers for Jennifer Kesse and her family. I hope they have answers, peace and closure soon.

So boring
Couldn’t get past episode two. Guy is so boring, spends 10 minutes trying to make a point and never gets there. After I heard “and then I had to think about it more. Everything I thought that I thought was true, really wasn’t true” I had to cut it.

Redundant and lack of verification is beyond frustrating
Agree with other reviewers that the host belabors various topics well beyond what he needs to and most of the time, it’s all just speculation. I got to episode 15 (was on a 7 hr drive and this was the only podcast I had downloaded) but I think if I wasn’t in that situation I may have given-up by episode 3 or 4. They should take some cues from very successful True Crime podcast hosts like Payne Lindsey or the woman from Serial who does true detective work and actually verifies tips, witnesses, and details. These guys just seemed to repeat info that’s already out there and then throw in some new unverified info, with the caveat that they had no idea it was even true or accurate. I hope the family isn’t relying on them to help solve this bc they seemed to be more interested in just the idea of making a podcast and hearing their own voice, vs really digging into the case and trying to find out what happened to this poor girl.

Overrated
I’m actually not sure how this became a popular podcast. I was listening to the Jennifer Kesse case.. and within three minutes you know that they have no idea what they’re talking about. It would be one thing if they were just trying to get the story out there but they’re trying to solve it and their theory is impossible to listen to given the overwhelming ignorance mixed with the serious tone..

I heard of this case reviewed by Nancy Grace. I am a resident of Florida and frequently visit the orlando area. Outside of the parks it can definitely be seedy and transient. I certainly don’t object to amateur podcasters. Any help any attention any alert to all attention Jennifer’s case or hundreds of other missing people. My gut feels as Note all predators within area workers or residents. Review residents of where her car was parked. I find it so hard to believe how clean this crime is. Not robbery goal to obtain her. I do trust the break down of jewelry clerk she definitely witnessed something. I’m a detailed visual person so to me it’s not odd to remember esp when something off.
Keep up the great work.

Eh
Interesting case but I quit listening at episode 11 when he decided a construction worker or even a group of construction workers would be unable to hide a body. Ummm why? I think I get what he’s meaning but I don’t want to speculate too much on his thoughts. Regardless though it’s just time for us to part ways.

Interesting case
I have issues with some of the people who speak. It’s very clear they are racist by the terms they use and ways they discuss color. I understand it’s the south and many white people there are racist, but it is difficult to listen to and then take whatever they are saying seriously. Many times their observations are based in prejudice. Therefore their conclusions are pointless to explore.

Thank you
Thank you for taking the time in making this podcast to keep this case known. Let’s all do what we can to support and have compassion for this family. May this year be the year this search ends. Sending good energy to the family and all those who, even being strangers to the family, care and want Jennifer found.

Great Job!
I love this podcast. They do a great job and are clearly passionate about the case. I love hearing Drew Kesse speak. He is so intelligent, logical and driven. That’s the kind of Father everyone should have on their side. What an amazing family. I am just heartbroken for them.

The knock thing move on...
So Ben as described matches the jewelry store witness’ description. Tall Black man with Dreed locks? Chino matches poi on the camera?
What kind of truck did Chino drive? What was the description of the truck by the witness who saw the carpet being dumped into the lake?
And I’m on the 40 min mark of this stupid knock at the door?

Good podcast but...
The podcast itself has good information but at times the two hosts talk the point in the ground! There are times I have to skip ahead because they talk on and on about the same thing for 10 minutes. Relay the information you have, tell us how it’s pertinent to the case and please move on.

Interesting but a few issues
Interesting look at Kesse - repetitive but I get it. The main issue I have is that there is what seems to be a fairly obvious law enforcement bias. For example - people that say they saw Kesse here or there at different times and then the host takes their word that it was reported to a tip line and never followed up on. This may be true, but I would suggest verifying this before belittling LE on it simply because it’s easier to do that then present context. The context may be that these stories do not line up with known time lines of events - ie Kesse was not in town when apparently seen, or the people have something in their background of suspect.
I’m just torn on presenting episode platforms for these people if their story is not first verified as even possible. It’s not productive, and really just confusing, to allow their narrative if the story is either implausible or the person obviously suspect. It seems that most often those with real stories maybe aren’t as eager to get on a podcast to present it.
Hopefully these are vetted and those with clearly misstated or made up stories are not given a platform to fill an episode for a podcast because that’s the ethical issue I have on it.
On the suspects episode in particular - the host unfortunately speaks as if these people ‘suspected’ owe the world or something to come on the podcast. Then saying we don’t have answers to questions on the ex-bf - we do, maybe the host doesn’t, but his roommates alibi him which isn’t mentioned. He also did not stay at her apartment - he was friends with her brother and visited them but did not live at her apartment with them while gone. This is why these people are not going to return your calls bro.

Pretty Shallow
I don’t fault the podcasters, there’s probably just not all that much to talk about and not too much info to dig through. The amount of info covered in the whole podcast could be covered in a single one hour episode. It’s a heartbreaking but interesting case, there just isn’t enough here to carry a compelling story through all these episodes. The podcaster does a good job, but as a result its just an “ok” listen.

Redundant beyond belief
Mind-numbingly redundant in an effort to fill time to make episodes. Hosts need to research more and hone their podcasting skills. They seem to mean well and be earnest, but not sure if they’re just copycats and hoping for success. Intriguing case, though.

A Mess
These two guys slay me. Their self-importance is matched only by their self-delusion. To call what they do an “investigation” is like me calling this blurb a Ph.D dissertation.

Don’t bother
Not worth bothering with. All they do is talk in circles. No new info really and they keep doing the same thing over and over

An Audio Coffee Klatch
Payne Lindsey they aren’t. The latest episode is nothing more than two guys “sorta” this and “I don’t know” that. It is rather sad that they spend time on this when it is obvious even the family doesn’t think much of their effort. Case in point, this search had been planned for some time and not only were they not included in that (no reason to think they should have been) but no one even contacted them after the search began. These too sad sacks found out about it from an article.
I do get a kick out of Shaun talking about distance. He always links it to walking and I can only assume he has never walked more than a few blocks at one time.
I gave it two stars because the audio is really good. Perhaps he should become a podcast engineer.

Unconcluded
Episode 39 should have been 5 minutes long.

Episode 7
Love the Podcast! Especially season 1 because it focuses completely on Jennifer Kesse. Episode 7 about Human Trafficking was not good though. I have seen many cases where Sex trafficking victims are beautiful women with regular lifestyles with a boyfriend who they love and who are drug free. Sex traffickers have people who will train these girls with no experience and will threaten them with family members being hurt or killed if they do not follow what they say or try to run away! Jennifer Kesse could definitely be a victim of sex trafficking because she was beautiful plain and simple!

Has gone from bad to worse
What is going on with this podcast?
You can’t trust that they can produce a podcast on a regular schedule. And when they do an episode it’s all speculation between the two podcast guys. They are treating Jennifer poorly by not committing to her story. Everyone wants to blame the cops for dropping the ball. These guys continue to drop the ball.
Don’t waste your time or ours.

Great
Great job

This could be a great podcast
So I know these guys have jobs and are trying but it is hard to stay interested when they come out with an episode and you think we’ll get another one soon and it is months of silence… I really enjoy this podcast because I’m from central Florida and can understand some of the locations they’re talking about

Great work!
This is well done, and I’m so glad it’s bringing light to Jennifers case.

Best podcast
This podcast keeps you thinking about these missing girls. The music is captivating and the guys voices and theory work perfectly with the title of this podcast. Thank you for helping these two families.

Not Much Real Information
I’m have listened to like 15 episodes so far and I have not heard a single piece of real evidence that you wouldn’t have heard by reading a single article online or watching a 20 minute You Tube video. These guys just talk about “theories” and speculate but all different things that “might” matter but nothing that really seems helpful to the case at all. Very much like the Up and Vanished podcast.

Would rather hear facts than opinion
I wanted to like this podcast so much. But there is too much talk of speculation and opinion. I don’t want to hear how the podcaster feels or what the podcaster thinks. I just want the facts of the case. Sorry but I won’t be listening anymore.
Jensjenniejen
Love this podcast
I listen to so many amazing true crime podcasts, and Unconcluded is one of my top favorites. I find myself re-listening to season 1 all the time. The host and team do such a great, thorough job of covering Jennifer’s case and all of the details. Jennifer’s disappearance is one of the most baffling cases I’ve ever heard of, and I’m very much invested in knowing what happened to her thanks to this podcast. Thanks for the great work.

So slow - sorry guys
Oof. This podcast is incredibly slow. Not just in the way that the narrator talks, but also in the delivery of information...please don’t tell listeners how much everything we know about the case will change—just tell us what has changed! There is so much lead up that goes nowhere. It’s frustrating because this case is interesting and we want to be informed!
Ms. listener
Benefit of the doubt
I’ve found this podcast somewhere in 2018 after searching for iformation on Jennifer’s case. I’ve binged all the available episodes in a short time. Once I’ve caught up, I’ve patiently waited for the next episodes to be uploaded. Yes, indeed, this podcast has had a long hiatus, and I can understand the disappointment of listeners. But, so are many other podcasts based on one case.
These guys have proven to give a thorough content on the disappearance of Jennifer Kesse, which to me, is worth the wait. I’m sure they’re working on informative material and will deliver relevant content for all of us listeners of Unconcluded once back ‘on the air’.

Not worth your time
These guys think it’s okay to disappear for months at a time without update and expect listeners to be excited when they grace our lives with their presence again. It’s not fair to the listeners, families or victims that they feel this is okay. If you’re going to take a hiatus, then announce it. It’s rude and unprofessional and despite their claims that they are ‘back’ with a new format, they WILL disappear again... so why waste your time with this when other more deserving podcasts clearly care much more? Give this one a skip if you’ve never listened. If you do listen, don’t be satisfied with this when there are much better options out there.

These Guys Fall Off the Map?
They started a new season after basically quitting the Jennifer Kesse case and then disappeared. I get that they aren’t professional podcasters, but come on, guys. Ironically it’s called Unconcluded like Season 2!

Exploitative and sleazy. Bad production.
Just bad. Boring. Covers lots of stuff, then turns around and says it doesn’t matter. Filler garbage. Bad production and editing. Sleazy and exploitative. The Kesse family should be appalled.
Kyle Kindle
Not enough narrator
There are too many recordings of witnesses/etc. I don’t want to listen to a woman describe a scene for 45 minutes, with 20 minutes straight of what the woman was wearing, when the narrator could have summarized it in 2 minutes. I understand wanting to give original source material, but I could sit through it. I gave up halfway through the Dercherd, TN episode.

Boring
Dragged out, slow, boring. Not sure who has the patience to listen to this.
ANNA2486
Snoooooze fest
I don’t know how this podcast has so many good reviews.
The hosts voice and story telling abilities are so dry. Maybe he is trying to just stick with the facts, but it feels like you’re listening to someone reading a text book.
magssj
It’s okay, but where have you been?
Seems a bit scattered, I like it but I want more and they don’t give more. Also they don’t provide episodes in a timely manner.
Lynds05!
I liked it and I’m kind of picky
These one star reviews are ridiculous. Get a real job child.
