omgosh! I was 3 episodes in when I realized Doug the victim was Doug the pedophile....nowbi need to start over. it's very odd to me that people describe him as a good, kind man but then they also all know he's been grooming and eventually married a 12y old....and also April's parents seems sooo terrible...i don't understand how they could both have so many concerns about Doug's attention on their daughter but then allow her to be alone with him.

If something is dismissed with prejudice it means that the decision is final and cannot be brought again.

Is it possible that she was doing hallucinogens instead of drinking or smoking when she said she was "so F'd up" but "she didn't sound drunk"? Those things can make you trip out. She could have crawled into the sewer to get away from something she was hallucinating.

Referring to truck convoy episode, a lot of facts are wrong. Go Fund Me largest donations before this was Humboldt tragedy. There are thousands of trucks but media wont allow anything truthful that is positive. Truckers are complying and police are actually delivering hot food to them and saying good things. They are peaceful and its the few ppl not involved wih the convoy making trouble. If you are basing this podcast off of ctv news or any other main news story yous are being fooled. These are all blue collar workers supporting a cause and have been made out to look like something different. I'm not for or against it but its disgusting how main stream media is portraying this. I live 1 hr outside ottawa and there has been minimal problems and so much love. The unity is unbelievable. Did you hear about them playing street hockey? Did you see the pics of them laying flowers at the statues? Cleaning the monuments? Of course not, just that some idDid you hear about them having peace
