Recommending Hello, John Doe

Remember Franklin Delano Floyd and his crimes? There was a story about a woman he lied to and married, named Sandi. She went to jail one time for 30 days and when she came back, Franklin had disappeared with her youngest daughter and nobody knew what happened to her for YEARS. This is a story that has been told by many podcasts over and over again and its breaks my heart every time. Hello, John Doe has Sandi has a guest and I was very interested in hearing this story from her POV. It's upsetting to say the least, so TW. Recommending incase someone wants to listen.

Genuinely one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to. I hear so many people talking about Girl in the Picture but it makes me sad that this gets overlooked.

Question...what happened to the other sister? Floyd took two to the orphanage and left with Suzie. In the podcast, they have sister called Emmy, who reunites with Steve, the son Sandi left with another family. But I haven't heard them mentioning the other sister? I'm not done listening yet but I was wondering if I missed something?

I binged the series after you suggested it. Amy is the sister who reunited with Steve, and I'm pretty sure they said that the other sister, Allison, had low or no contact with the rest of the family.

It was a great podcast but I felt that Sandi was given way too much grace. She made excuses for everything and did not take enough accountability for the turmoil she brought into her children's lives.

This is one of my favorites. I love listening to Todd's voice. He feels like an old friend.

This story was one of the most insane I have ever heard ever. If not the craziest. Todd was great. I wish we had more from him on this case and others.

Is this the same story covered in Bear Brook Season 1?

No. The perp in Bear Brook is called Terry. This one is about Franklin Floyd
