Outstanding
I have so much admiration for Laura Richards. She is a true shero. Her knowledge and expertise are awe inspiring. This podcast is the best out there. And her voice is gorgeous too!

Always on point!
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.

A tremendous listen
I’m not in the habit of rating anything online but I was so swept along by the sheer momentum of Crime Analyst that I couldn’t help myself. The research is rigorous to the point of exhaustion. The ethics are impeccable. The presentation style is endearing and articulate while unwrapping cases of great complexity and brutality. What an intelligent lifebuoy amid a sea of bewilderment. More of this in the world please 👏

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…😡🫣🤔

Simply The Best.
The first time I discovered Laura Richards, was when she teamed with experts to reconstruct the Jon benet Ramsey case.
It was truly compelling, Laura and the team were truly astounding in their research and findings.
I came across Laura’s Podcast earlier this year.
I was totally hooked on listening to all her episodes.
Laura takes you on a journey, where you actually feel you are there at the crime scene
Her ability to show you the parts we wouldn’t see as the public are truly fascinating.
My favourite of Laura’s series, was that about the victims of PS. Loved hearing from Richard Mcann and hearing about his positive lifestyle he leads with his family.
I totally recommend listening to Crime Analyst, you will be instantly hooked. Love Louise Johnson.

Interesting, Important, and Empowering
Don’t miss Crime Analyst. If you are keen on understanding victimology, and other dynamics of crime without doing so at the expense of the victims, you will be glad you found this pod. If you appreciate deep, thorough dives into complex cases backed by professional expertise and integrity, you are in the right place. If you value respect for women and children, no one does it better.

Far more than a podcast
I am an avid listener of many true crime podcasts and have learned so much from many trailblazing people about what kinds of media to consume, how victims and families are treated through the production and distribution of true crime content, and how crimes are reported and investigated. To date, there is no one I have learned more from than Laura Richards. She is a one woman powerhouse, a fierce and compassionate advocate for victims, and the ultimate trailblazer for identifying and understanding coercive control. Her deep dives into complex cases are fascinating, enlightening and action-encouraging. This is so much more than a podcast; it’s a movement. Spend your time here.

Absolutely brilliant
Although difficult to hear about, facts are laid out clearly for us in a spellbinding manner which brings us to understand the perspective of the victim and basically how all women feel. This podcast woke me up to the realization of how much blame is put in women for everything even for being murdered.Thank you for this. I was raped twice in my life before anyone ever really reported these things so I know how disgusting this can be and then to imagine haing some man thinking he has the power to take our lives just to get off is appalling! Moving, powerful and important for all women and men actually to hear and understand! This cannot go on!

This is more than a podcast. This is a wealth of critical information on behavior analysis. Every police force in the world should be studying this. With domestic violence rising in the world, the only way we can save women & girls lives is learning about cohesive control and male violence. Let’s educate ourselves and our communities. This podcast and ALL the work Laura Richards does is your starting point.
It’s of critical importance.

Fantastic show
Laura brings such amazing insight to domestic violence and the analysis of criminal behaviour. I think listening to Laura’s podcast should be a mandatory requirement for Police and other front line service providers. I have used Laura’s DASH screener with some of my clients and it has really helped them see their partners behaviour in a new light. Thanks so much Laura for your continuing contribution to understanding men’s violence.

Justice for Marion Barter
Thank you Laura for your episodes on the disappearance of Marion Barter, spreading the wonderful work of The Lady Vanishes and providing your amazing expert analysis. Would love to hear about Blum’s poor ex wife Ilona Kinczel, another sad and tragic story.

A huge thank you and keep it going
I have spent the last few years, from the start of Covid to present day listening to Laura and Team on Crime Analyst. Outstanding, Informative and Extremely Beneficial and whilst some of not most of the stories are sad, horrific and sometimes avoidable or preventable. They are also extremely beneficial when watching for signs and examples of Coercive Control , dangerous environments and manipulation ny partners. In my case I was able to listen, learn and leverage of Laura to protect my daughter 🙏🙏Thank You Laura and Team

Great Minds
I know I’ve already left a review about his series but it deserves another. What a formidable duo Laura and Joni are! Joni’s research skills and leave no stone unturned approach, and Laura’s knowledge of criminology and crimes against women (and law enforcement behaviour) will, I believe be the key to solving this.

Great analysis of the Nicola Bulley case
Thank you Laura. To be honest, I would say that you did a great job analysing the Nicola Bulley case including the coroner`s inquest, IOPC, ICO and the College of Policing Report on the crime analyst youtube channel. I became interested in Nicola`s case from the start having read articles about it. What struck out to me the most is the police`s decision making in Nicola`s case based on the police`s working hypothesis and the release of personal information about Nicola. The reason why this was alarming for me was because of the speculation around the case. So, my thoughts remain with Nicola`s family, friends and her two girls.
