Rate ShowOne of the absolute Best!
She doesn’t know me but Laura has become one of my biggest mentors over the years of listening to her work. I have taken so many huge lessons from her including the importance of exercising professional curiosity and working from a place of integrity and compassion. Plus her analysis deep dives are just so juicy!

Amazing Podcast
Crime Analyst is exactly that - an analysis into what went wrong, and clear ideas about how to fix it so the same thing doesn’t keep happening over and over.
My hope is that when Ms. Richards collaborates with police departments all over the world, they heed her advice, because she has done all the work for them. They just have to implement the ideas. Imagine if Essex went from having the worst domestic crime rate to the best. It’s possible.

Exceptional Show -Laura Richard’s is my Shero!
If you’re interested in true crime, you must listen to this podcast. If you’re in law enforcement, you must listen to this podcast. Everyone must listen to this podcast!!
Laura Richard always places the victim in forefront of the discussion, which is pretty rare from other “true crime” podcasts. She takes a deep dive into a case and allows the listener to follow along on the journey.
Please listen to this podcast, it will open up your eyes to coercive control and femicide, which might save a family member, friend, or your own life.
I just want to add, I’m so glad to see Laura dropped an episode to cover Dr, Naomi Dancy as I was extremely disappointed in the Ghost Story podcast. How dare they ask for Laura’s opinion on the case and just leave a sound bite? I only listened to the podcast to hear from Laura! I’m excited to hear the second episode!

Incredible insight and integrity
I discovered Crime Analyst through my interest in Marion Barter’s disappearance and subsequent search by her daughter Sally Leydon.
I am so grateful for Laura’s generosity in giving of her time and considerable skill set to further the investigation into the what, who and why of Marion’s case.
Thank you so much, Laura. I’m looking forward to listening to the other cases you discuss.

We are Woman, hear us ROAR!
Joni and Laura are a force to be reckoned with, the way they so carefully and concisely break down this case and the actions of this horrible man is so angry making and emotional but also interesting and educational. Thankyou both xx

Exceptional
Thankyou for your work Laura - so informative and knowledgeable, and insightful. I work with vulnerable women and use DASH all the time to start, support conversation and also identify (with Duluth) what’s not “normal” for healthy relationships …. Also have been able to challenge the “he’s not done anything for a few days, so it’s probably stopping now” conversation, from a SA support worker, with confidence and directing to your podcast…😡🫣🤔

True analysis more than true crime
Incredibly detailed and deciphering of true crimes and how they relate to the daily lives of all of us, everyday. So very important to hear and learn from. Behind the scenes politics, personal politics and an impeccable analysis of the very culture that produces these crimes and judicial system that attempts to deal with them - or not.

Exemplary analysis
Thank you Laura for consistently challenging the narrative and putting forward intelligent and spot on analysis of the reason women are so right always be on alert! Your latest episode on Ghost Story had me yelling out in furious agreement. A classic example of male entitlement and class based free passes from authority to just kill women’s and get away with it. Great work as usual, thank you!!

Amazing podcast!!
I have listened to many of Laura’s episodes and learned so much however her deep dive with Joni and Sally to help find Marion Barter has truly helped fill in the blanks around what coercive control can look like especially when family are unaware of a relationship existing. If only this knowledge was known back in 1997.

In Depth podcast!
I found this podcast series through listening to The Lady Vanishes. Laura has done an incredible review over 12 episodes on Marion Barters disappearance.
I am now listening to other podcasts by Laura and loving them.

Speaking out for the victims
I love the explanations, analysis and insights from Laura. They really get to the heart of what Police, law enforcement and law makers need to look at to give victims the justice they deserve.
Too much about criminal investigation shows us sadly, that it’s still very much a man’s world where women (and the vulnerable) are often dismissed, unheard or simply not believed…..until it’s too late.

Thoughtful and informative
Even though I’ve been following “The lady Vanishes” -so good! since 2019 and “missing person Marion Barter”, Laura Richards’ Crime Analyst delving has added another dimension of knowledge and understanding. Such thoughtful analysis and assessment from Laura, and observations and research from Sally and Joni. Wow, the latest episode in the series is so powerful. I love that Laura is so honouring of victims and families. Independently of Marion, there is so much to learn through Laura for personal protective skills. Fantastic podcast!

Phenomenal Podcast
Stumbled across this pod as I listen to True Sunlight.
The host of this pod has an incredible grasp on criminal psychology, victimology & all things in between.
She is able to break down complex cases & present them in a coherent & accessible way for lay-people to understand.
The research & delivery is second to none & the host takes you on a journey through misogyny, sexism, paraphiliacs, psychology & criminology. She’s very smart & clear.
I really enjoy this podcast. The A1-8 PS, Amanda Knox, Andrew Tate, Russel Brand are just a few of my favourite episodes. Thank you Laura.

Laura Richards is Amazing!
I listen to a lot of podcast and have so for many years! Crime Analyst is by far the best one! Laura is so educated and articulate on how she presents her cases. When I was younger, growing up, I wanted to be a Laura Richards! I wanted to be an analyst but things went into another direction. It’s really refreshing and hopeful knowing we have women like her, fighting the good fight!

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.
