![]() ![]() It takes ages to get from point A to point B, often with no cell phone service. Lindsey said he felt a close connection to Kimberly, which is partially why he chose to focus on this particular case. Kimberly has been aggressive about finding the killer or killers, seeking media attention and goading authorities to keep an active investigation She even spoke before Congress. There are more things coming in that could expand that even further.” “I have pretty credible information to support that. “I have some really strong suspicions on what I think happened,” Lindsey said. In fact, he was back in Montana this week to follow up on leads. He said so far, his efforts are bearing fruit, and that he believes this case could be solved. He provided a tip line number, but only on billboards within the community around Browning to minimize extraneous “tips” from Internet crazies. Indeed, he decided to do something not remotely journalistic: He and his company, Tenderfoot TV, have put up $50,000 in reward money to encourage people to come forward. I would rather fully embrace what this is and the person I am behind the podcast itself.” I figured that this is such a unique and different thing. It could be misinterpreted as making it all about me. Lindsey in an interview said he was “very iffy about this whole monologue. He adds: “I care more about solving this case than making this podcast.” “Does someone finally talk? Does someone finally have the courage to come forward and say what they know?” “My job is to give Kimberly a platform to tell her story, to share her pain with the world, in hopes that something good could come out of this,” he said. ![]() He felt personally responsible for helping Ashley’s sister Kimberly find justice. He said he didn’t want to just do another true-crime murder podcast this time around. Clearly.Lindsey’s renown came to bear after his investigative work from season one of “Up and Vanished” and all the attention it garnered helped lead to the 2017 arrest of the men responsible for the death of Tara Grinstead, a teacher in Ocilla, Georgia who went missing in 2005. Then Payne has the arrogance to reprimand people for complaining about his “reporting” practices?! Dude, you’re not a journalist. God forbid he allow law enforcement some sort of control over their ability to take Ryan to trail. His only took for “fact gathering” is conducting interviews and throwing them into the podcast without corroborating any of their stories. It’s jumbled, nonsensical, and completely unethical. Payne throws out every rumor he hears on a public platform and generally goes around smearing people without any facts. And take it easy with all the rumors and hearsay. You can’t say “this is definitely the guy who killed Tara” before he goes to trial. You have to respect defendants’ rights before conviction. ![]() (I’m stopping short of calling this reporting because this is absolutely not reporting.) Payne, I know you’re not a journalist, but take some advice from one: Innocent until proven guilty. However, what’s most concerning to me about this podcast is how irresponsible the “talk” is. I wouldn’t say I was compelled to binge it, but it certainly passed the time while I was in the car. ![]() The podcast is interesting largely because the case covered here is interesting. It’s both laughable and incredibly frustrating. He’s so naïve that he starts “investigating” routine procedures. He clearly knows NOTHING about how criminal court works. Payne is not a reporter- he’s a ridiculous, careless podcaster looking to inject some easy wokeness into his cheap theatrics.Įdit: This host is ridiculous. For S3, if you want to learn more about missing and murdered indigenous women, there are actual journalists, many indigenous themselves, reporting on this work in the audio world. I tried S2 but it was riddled with speculation and even used supernatural experiences to build its “case”- like, no. While credited with breaking a cold case in S1, the resolution had nothing to do with diligence on his part- attention on the case inspired a mistake on the part of a perp, & Payne was way off and was stumbling around, prepared to destroy a bunch of lives with wild whodunnit guesses. And his lack of real journalistic training makes him totally clumsy. His voice, his grandiosity, his insistence on inserting himself and his own motivations into every story he tries to tell, especially when he’s purportedly trying to use his platform to shine light on people who don’t often get the attention of white audiences, like missing & murdered indigenous women- it’s all so cringe. ![]()
