I know Ashley said she has other things she wants to do, and I respect that. However, as I've been listening to these last few episodes of The Deck, I can't help thinking of something else that might be motivating her to close it down. Could it possibly be that none of these cases have been solved, or maybe haven't even gotten new bites? Every episode ends with her pleading to the public to call XYZ law enforcement agency, but maybe she doesn't think it's worth it anymore if those agencies come back to her saying there haven't been any calls. Now I don't know what happens behind the scenes. Maybe some of them have been revisited, and for whatever reason, she hasn't felt inclined to provide any updates, but that doesn't sound like Ashley. If something new comes up for a Crime Junkie episode, she does a follow-up. When has that happened on The Deck? If it's happened, and I just can't remember, please let me know.

Again, I respect any of Ashley's reasons for ending The Deck. I just couldn't help wondering if this might be one of them. I could be wrong, for all I know. Just putting it out there.

new listener here. trying to stay strong but i find britt’s commentary to feel forced and seldom necessary to move along the story/ create intrigue. is she always involved in every episode ? does her commentary become more efficient over time ? zero hate but just wondering if anyone agrees and had a better experience over time

I’m know this type of critique is very common on this sub, but I’m honestly disgusted by this episode. They tried to play into the “haunted house” detail, which is absolutely abhorrent concerning a tragedy of this nature. I feel like they downplayed the drug use on purpose to exaggerate the conspiracy, which is becoming a pattern in their story telling. They also included a random “the dad’s father was said to have been in the mafia” comment, which is incredibly disrespectful to the family. I understand that sometimes inference is helpful in unsolved cases like this, but the way they go about it is more damaging than anything.

Also, not to sound rude, but the fact that they took the mom’s best friend’s story about the “haunted house” and “gray mist” and RAN WITH IT lacks journalistic integrity.

I see that a lot of people dislike Brit here, but I prefer her voice way more over Ashley’s. I was just watching the Anastasia WitbolsFeugen episode and it’s the first one that i’ve seen where Brit is leading and I wanted to know if there’s more with mainly just her.

I half listen these days but... truly what was the point of today's episode.

Exactly what the title says. Catching up on some newer CJ episodes (released after the Deck announcement), specifically the Joyce LePage two-parter.

So if these episodes came out after the announcement of the Deck ending, why is the ad CJ is running at the beginning about the Deck?

Was there a reversal I missed?

I know it's a late post but......... does anyone think they may have taken heed to their reddit. I noticed in this episode they made a few minor implications towards the husband, but they seemed to have adamantly make it a point to say that he's "innocent till proven guilty" instead of posing wild theories and accusations. IReally made me wonder if it was cause of the recent criticism they received for some of their outlandish theories.

Hey guys! There’s a case that has always sat with me and I am pretty sure I heard it on this podcast. It was about a woman who was killed and when they found her body, she was like tied up to a fence or pole. It’s like she was put in a seated/crouched position.

I’ve tried to google it but I am having no luck!

Do any of you guys have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!!
