This podcast is very well done. the research is thorough and sources are appropriately credited; victims are treated respectfully and families are treated with compassion. Kylie's voice carries professionalism but also warmth. She also interviews law enforcement, experts, family members etc when possible, adding firsthand accounts and immediacy to her work. Highly recommend.

if she drove to the bar after work, and she wasn't drinking, then why did she need a ride home to Skowhegan?

adopting children to work a farm was not uncommon; I haven't researched it beyond the story of my great great grandfather, who was orphaned in Boston in the early 19th century, adopted by a family in a northern Maine township, then as he matured, considering he was being overworked, he escaped - returning few years later only to marry the girl across the road.
