Excellent Analysis
Excellent in-depth coverage and analysis of Marion Barter case. Laura’s work, life experiences and skills enable her to demonstrate a very unique and specialised approach to cases unlike any other true crime podcast I have seen.

Fantastic podcast!
Your deep dive into the Marion Barter case has been astonishing. I have been listening to The Lady Vanishes since it began, and I so appreciated your coverage of it. Thank you for taking so much time to share your insights into this gut wrenching case. Here’s to hoping the man of many names is finally held to account.

Revolutionary
Outstanding! Laura Richards is leading a revolution in the investigation of violent crimes against women. We should all be grateful that, following her impressive career in the UK, Laura is offering her expertise worldwide. Her respect for the families of victims and their supporters is unparalleled. I hope that Laura will help Sally Leydon find out what happened to her mother, Marion Barter. I love that Laura and Joni emphasised in episode 166 the importance of learning from mistakes.

Love this podcast
Laura is so smart- her expertise shows in every episode. I’m learning so much about domestic violence and the quality of abusers.

Superb podcast
Thanks to Peter Faulding I was directed to this podcast because of the Nicola Bulley case. Now of course I’ve listened to some of the other cases which are really interesting too. The explanations from complex cases are put across in a way that’s easy to follow.

Just a must listen
This will make you question everything you think, hear and read. Incredibly thorough, well written and insightful. Listener warning, it might piss you off so much that you swear a lot but honestly I think we need to be more sweary since being polite clearly hasn’t worked. Keep going, this is brilliant work.

Laura is a treasure!
Listening is equally fascinating and heartbreaking, you will not be disappointed! Laura’s point of view and her analysis is always unique and frequently things Ive never heard before even on cases that Ihave already researched.
I humbly request that everyone listen, share, and review this podcast and Laura’s other media as much as possible. The more people that know the warning signs, the more lives can be saved! How amazing is that? Please help do your part.

Incredible
I found your podcast through your visit with Mandy Matney on her podcast. I’ve listened to EVERYTHING on Murdaugh Murders Podcast, True Sunlight, and Cup of Justice and I find the information in YOUR podcast very very informative, intriguing and each episode better than the last! Fan for sure. Thanks!

Outstanding analysis of the Nicola Bulley case on crime analyst youtube channel
Thank you so much Laura for your great analysis of Nicola Bulley`s case including your breakdown of the College of Policing Report, Nicola`s victimology, the timeline, the sequence of events in the case, the coroner`s inquest, the IOPC and the ICO reviews on crime analyst youtube channel. I became interested in this case from the start having read newspaper articles as it gained worldwide attention where there were questions to be asked about the decision making of the police investigation. And what struck out to me the most is the police`s decision making in the case including the police hypothesis and the release of personal information about Nicola which created the defensive nature of the Press Conference. It is not a good idea for the police to release their hypotheses straight out of the blue and that was why it caused speculation as it is damaging to the case. So, my thoughts remain with Nicola`s family, friends and her two girls. #NicolaBulley #Accountability #CollegeofPolicing #LancashirePolice

A must ‘hear’ for everyone
Laura is compelling in her delivery and content.
This is a most meaningful podcast, that helps us understand why crimes happen, not just a retelling of a crime.
I began listening because of Laura’s participation in assisting Sally, Joni and the team in the search for the missing Marion Barter.
I’m now in the process of listening to Crime Analyst’s whole back catalogue, loving every minute.
Keep on keeping on Laura, for all our sake.

Episode 7
I’m on episode 7 and I’m apoplectic at how these women were treated and not listened to. I feel like this guy was allowed to continue because the egos if the top brass were intoxicated by the media’s attention. Those women deserved better.

Always something new to learn on this podcast
Today, Listening to the discussion about the disappearance of Marion Barter, I learnt so much about the use of circumstantial evidence in putting together a case. This podcast is a masterclass.
Let’s hope that the team, and it’s a huge one, can finally find the answers that Sally needs in finding out what has happened to her mother, Marion.

Thank you Laura for bringing awareness to the subject of Domestic Violence and coercive control. I have especially loved listening to the analysis of the Marion Barter case it has been outstanding. Your podcasts are truly educational and even life altering for some. So very well done.

The “Deep” deep dive
Can’t believe how much more I get out of the “stories” behind the news since I started listening to Crime Analyst. I’m currently listening to the Gabby Petito story and I remember watching the news of her murder as it broke here in Australia. I now know so much more than I did then and I so appreciate Laura’s ability to break down the events leading up to and following her murder. I can’t understand why more Law Professionals don’t consult with Laura on the scourge of femicide and coercive control. We need Laura here in Australia! Please come…I’ll mind Rafi 😉

There is no one else that has this level of indepth knowledge of stalking. As a victim of stalking, I developed a curiosity around causation, methodology and how outcomes may be improved. Laura you have delivered on all counts. If every stalking victim had an advocate like you to advise police we would absolutely have less stalking related deaths in the UK. Thank you for all of the amazing work you do!!

This is the best!
Thank you Laura! This is such an important and brilliant podcast. It is my favourite. So smart, respectful and powerful. Everyone should listen to Laura- lives would be saved.

Most important podcast for women to listen to
Laura’s work in coercive control and around changing first response to domestic violence call outs literally saves lives. Laura does not talk about crime for sensationalist and entertainment purposes, like most true crime podcasts do. This is a didactic podcast that helps women spot patterns. Hearing her expertise in breaking down relevant elements within cold cases like the Marion Barter disappearance, and her deep analysis of what went wrong in the law enforcement response when the cops pulled over Gabby Petito and her boyfriend two weeks before her murder be teased out into more general and informed observations about how abusers and perpetrators get away with behaviours against women is astonishing. This is also incredibly valuable insight.

Laura always puts women victims first! She gets it and fights to help those in policing, law and social services understand what’s going on.

The Lady Vanishes
I remember the first time that Joni mentioned “coercive control” in the early days of “The Lady Vanishes” podcast. She absolutely nailed it! I had also had the same thoughts. I remember thinking that we need to hear from Laura Richards. Thank you Joni and Laura, for your thoughtful analysis on this intricate case.
