Unraveled (2021 Podcast Series) User Reviews

This hack docudrama is 99% fictional and true garbage media

[AmyJohnson3 · 1/10 · 16 July 2021]

Unraveled Season 2 : "The Stalker's Web" is mostly fictional, and it is delivered with the craftsmanship and mean spirited-ness of a 7th grade slam book. I did some research, and in only a few minutes I found that "Mother" spent 8.5 years in federal prison for trafficking in methamphetamine. I found (2) court cases against "Travis" for physical stalking in the State District Court of Federal Way, WA. Travis also claims that Mr. Hughes had "countless accounts" on specific hacking websites that did not in fact even exist for three to five years after 2002. The brother and sister have both had problems with the law. "Victim Rachel" still has old blog entries up where she laughs about feeding live cats to her pitbulls and calls the cats "munchies." These people's bizarre stories contradict each other. The "Mother" is completely delusional, she has a facebook page where she tells spun out meth hag stories claiming she has been secretly married to Lou Graham, the singer from Foreigner, for forty years! Is HE Jason's real father? There was either no attempt by the huckster Billy Jensen (not a real investigator, at least in this case) to do any real research or the entire narrative is intended to be fictional. A quick look at Pacer shows that half the charges against Mr. Hughes were dismissed by a federal judge in 2020. None of the so called "victims" interviewed are party to any charges in this case, and all of their bizarre claims are 15 to as much as 20 years old. And what kind of lunatic cop says ARSON of a car and home is "Justified?" Det. Spencer Chow and the hosts dismiss the rule of law itself in calling this incredibly violent attack on Mr. Hughes and the two innocent WOMEN living in the house as "justified!" Neither the car or home firebombed actually belonged to Mr. Hughes. No one who declares murderous arson "justified" and apparently legal in the state of Texas (per Det. Chow) should be working in law enforcement in any capacity whatsoever. Alexis is insipid and nasty, like a cast reject from "Heathers". Billy is an empty headed scarecrow and complete fraud as an investigator. This is amateur hour, and character assassination, and none of the so called "victims" offer anything but completely unsubstantiated hearsay. Do a little more research and you will find that this entire case actually centers on someone not ever mentioned - a Mr. Schlesinger who went on the internet by the pseudonym "stonemirror", and he appears to have been harassing and stalking Mr. Hughes for 20 years, and impersonating him online and in electronic communications, with evidence of forged emails. Mr. Schlesinger makes public admission of publishing the alleged sexual photos years before the spurious claim from "Vanessa" that Mr. Hughes gave her these photos. They had long been published by Mr. Schlesinger, on neo-nazi and also phoronix linux community forums. And I found a doxbin these "victims" made with all of Mr. Hughes' sensitive financial information, they put it all in a darkweb identity theft database, and published it on a tumblr owned by "Vanessa V." along with her and Mr. Schlesinger's long time friend Rachel "Haywire", who is a well documented Satanist and wannabe neo-nazi internet celebrity. Also I found that "Vanessa V." went bankrupt in 2020 with a brick and mortar store in Las Vegas that sold : serial killer memorabilia, real preserved human body parts and occult supplies for Satanic/Occult rituals. You are not getting 1% of the real story in this garbage podcast or its upcoming low budget streaming TV adaptation. This is a shameful excuse for journalism, investigation, and true crime podcasts. The audio of this podcast is also of the lowest possible quality, with loud terrible music and "radio morning crew" sound effects that are ridiculous and childish. UPDATE : Alexis Linkletter is now on the facebook friends list of Mr. Schlesinger aka "Stonemirror" who had admission on that facebook of publishing nude photos of Mr. Hughes and also has admission of direct involvement in the firebombing of the home Mr. Hughes lived in with two women. So, Alexis knows about Schlesinger and is in contact with him, but never once mentions him on the podcast....

Absolutely Horrible Storytelling

[helenahandbasket-93734 · 1/10 · 26 January 2022]

Please GMAFB with the whole 'oh, the person we just told had a dead spouse/child/SO/boss/etc didn't completely lose their mind in grief so they're OBVIOUSLY GUILTY!!' nonsense; as a clinical psychologist I can say with 100% certainty that every single person, no matter their proximity to an horrific life event, will have a reaction that is unique and could be completely out of character for them. Most go into some form of shock, some don't believe in emotions on their sleeve, some don't care and will carry on to the point of hyperventilating, you just don't know what will happen.

Also?

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE GIVE AT LEAST SOME PUSHBACK TO THE NONSENSE THAT COPS/PROSECUTORS PUSH- 'oh they asked for a lawyer!! They had something to hide! Innocent people don't have attorneys present!!' Completely innocent people are railroaded every day around the world, and I don't care what circumstance it's under, if you want to talk to me, you're doing so with my attorney present and I want everything recorded audio and visual. Don't like it? Tough. It's my right under the constitution and innocent people have been executed with almost no evidence to support the claim, and because I choose to use the right, I am not a guilty person. In fact, anyone who doesn't immediately ask for an attorney I immediately begin to question their thought processes- if you feel like being on trial for something you didn't do, by all means, go right ahead, but asking for your attorney DOES NOT MAKE YOU GUILTY.

These two are so intentionally obtuse- playing to the lowest common denominator for an audience, with no ability to factually tell a story without painting their own ridiculous opinions all over the place.

Awful podcast voice and cadence!

[Clemmie88 · 3/10 · 21 January 2022]

I'm watching unraveled mystery at the mansion on discovery plus and the voice over/narration is the epitome of terrible podcaster voice and tempo. It's so distracting I can't even finish watching it. Plus they are really bad at interviewing people.

Disinformation

[donnabessette · 1/10 · 23 April 2022]

So, these two clowns decided to insult criminal profilers and crafted a scenario to try and make their point. Beyond ridiculous. Garbage at it's worse.

Horrible!

[moni-10157 · 1/10 · 19 May 2022]

These people are not hosts. The information is interesting however the delivery is FAR from entertaining. The question asked are something a 3rd grader might ask and also conclude. If you want something to make you sleep, then I can recommend..
