Michelle McNamara had nothing to do with solving the case, yet for some strange reason certain people seem to think that it wouldn't have been solved without her. Or course that's just ridiculous because she had nothing to do with investigating or solving it. But now I almost can't read any article about earons with out her name being mentioned even though she had nothing to do with the case.
The only people that deserve a thank you in this case are the police that finally solved it.
No wrt Crompton putting old-timers off "we've checked out EVERY cop/police officer." I still feel that burn.
As with Crompton, I didn't think it could be a cop~~where the 'ef did JJD find the time. yea, his wife was in college/law school but at 27-33 yoa I came home tired every night.
If you want another mind-bending unsolved true-crime story to get completely obsessed with, start digging into the Golden State Killer: http://www.lamag.com/features/in-the-footsteps-of-a-killer/
Terrifying serial killer/rapist in California in the 1970s-1990s, presumed still alive but never caught, and you can listen to his voice messages and read his notes and maps, etc.
No podcast (yet) but a huge obsessive online community trying to solve the case, a book, another book coming out soon, written Michelle Macnamara (a superb writer who happens to be the wife of comedian Patton Oswalt)
Thank her for what? She didn't do anything other than write a book on the case that was filled with info that's been around for years.
There are also other people that wrote books about the case much better than she did, two of them being detectives that worked on the case:

Sudden Terror East Area Rapist
In the Wake of the Butcher [revised] Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run
Monster of Florence
>Can you link to the transcript.
"Sudden Terror" by Larry Crompton, around the 300-page mark or so ( LINK ).
