Just the best!
The best podcast I have listened too. Absolutely not one complaint here. Nothing happening on this one that gets on my nerves. So very well done and detailed. No time constraints. Just wanting the story. The truth. My only complaint is I need another Season!!!!

I love this podcast
I am 100% a lover of true crime and podcasts and i love the way that Payne tells Tara’s story. Episode 19 is so raw and the way that Payne sticks up for Tara and her case in this episode is all I ever want to hear in true crime stories.

On Repeat
Great podcast of interesting information but my goodness the same thing is often said over and over and over and over within a singular conversation.

Mixed feelings
I have very mixed feelings about this podcast. On the one hand, it really does seem like the podcast helped uncover new info in the Grinstead case. On the other hand, I thought some of the choices by the host were very self-aggrandizing. For example, including the voicemail from his grandmother to (I think) his mom about how his mom should be proud was a bit much. I agree that he did some good, but podcasts like this sometimes go over the top with self-congratulatory material.

It’s the Payne show!
Of course in the first episode of Season 4, Payne is the central focus for at least half the time. A narcissist’s narcissist he is. At least he didn’t crowbar in his Grandma praising him again (as was the case over and over and over again in Season 1).Interesting story but this pod needs better editing, ie deleting boring filler.

Can’t do it
I simply can’t get past the first episode of season one. The woman reading the trial notes sounds like a stewardess informing us of the current weather conditions when we land . Brutal

There’s nothing else like this. Anywhere.
I’m a huge true crime fan. I’ve seen every Dateline, every serial killer documentary, listened to other investigative podcasts. Nothing comes close to the thrill, suspense, or creepiness of Up and Vanished. It’s not even “true crime” - it’s a real time account of Payne Lindsey joining an open investigation, and making moves that law enforcement is unable or unwilling to. When he set out, Payne wanted to make something along the lines of Making a Murderer. Dude- you’ve done one better. And what’s more is the growth you’ve made as an investigative journalist along the way - from S1E1 to S3E12 this podcast has evolved into the very best True Crime I have ever digested. Season 3 was absolutely beautiful. I sincerely hope there is more to come and I’m ashamed to be so late in the game having just binged the entire library of episodes. Fabulous job, team. Please don’t stop. You’re making a difference, which is so much better than merely making entertainment. Thank you.

Was ok until it became activist and not journalist

Great Podcast!
I love True Crime material however, this podcast has been so thoroughly thought out, researched, and the victim becomes a part of my life, their story is told so well. I can’t think of enough good things to say, but this: I’m inspired enthralled, and binge listen as often as I can. Just sorry I didn’t find this podcast sooner. Currently only in season 2! Love this podcast!! Great job and keep it up!!

Season 1 review
PL was annoying and made me mad. You can read other reviews to find out why he’s such an aggravating true crime podcast host. I thought the Phineas Gage episode was idiotic. I hated it. The Brooke’s Story episode made me want to stop listening altogether, but I finished the episodes because I thought it would bother me if I didn’t. Well I regret that. I should have stopped listening, or, better yet, never listened at all. If you want to know about Tara’s case, do yourself a favor and check Reddit, watch the dateline or google it. Pretty much do anything but dedicate your precious time to this awful podcast.

Love Up and Vanished
We all got hooked and listened at work on the Tara Grinstead case and have listened to everything since! You broke that first case up and hope you can shed some light on all the others too! Keep up the great work!

Where has this been all my life
THE perfect true crime podcast. Payne only provides necessary info, doesn’t blabber, and doesn’t include unnecessary commentary from outsiders. The podcast is very professionally done. The Tara case blew wide open as he was making the podcast, so it was a wild ride. Would recommend to anyone!

More please!
Loved the podcast. Editing is well done, making the content more interesting and entertaining. I’m looking forward to the next season but I can’t stand the lady host’s voice in season four that follows Ryan Duke’s trial. Her voice is muffled? Like she has too much saliva…I’m sorry but I didn’t listen to the season because of it. Otherwise, great podcast.
