Finally!
I have been hoping someone competent would take on these cases and corruption in the form of a podcast. I just binged every single episode. So professionally and thoroughly executed. Also, done with noble intent..for justice and to stand up for victims and their families who are suffering so much. These cases have burned into my soul but truly didn’t know how to help. In this upside down world we are currently living in, it gave me some hope to see people giving their time, resources and talents to the cause of what is right, expecting nothing in return but results for these families. Best series I have heard ever. I would give 10 stars if I could.

Fantastic
I live in Alabama abs was recommended this show. I’m hooked and not a typical crime podcast listener. Since discovering this show I’ve tried others and they just don’t compare.

Enjoyed
I so enjoyed the Secrets True Crime , I live in Alabama and didn’t have a clue to so much corruption in police office as in Walker co. My husband was a police officer for 25 years so I firmly take police work seriously and nobody especially law enforcement should ever look at murder crimes lightly. I have a theory on Cates murder. It just wouldn’t surprise me if police were involved or protecting someone.

Amazing
Thank you for all that you do for the family and friends of the people who have lost their lives and need answers. I have been following the Eric and gypsy story on Facebook for years and I’m so glad that you all have taken your time on this much needed story that needs to be heard. I hope and pray that this will help get justice for Eric and Gypsy’s death. You guys are doing an amazing job and I love this podcast.

Great Podcaster
I listened to dozens of Podcasts and this is a very good one. The Podcasts are not scripted like a lot of others that speculate on stuff. Lots of actual interviews with the people that are involved. Not tons of commercials and doesn’t lean to always blaming law enforcement for every single thing. Just factual and not biased. A nice change.

Alabama True Crime
So thankful you have shined light on the Eric Cates and Gypsie murder. I know some of his family and I am so very thankful that someone is finally discussing the logistics of this case. Several of us from work started listening to this podcast and now I have also listened to season 1 as well. I have actually lived in Wetumpka so that hits close to home as well. Hopefully people will start coming forward with information to solve these cases. Thank you again!!!

Video
So I just started listening, but it so weird to me how Eric said he was going to a bbq Friday night and the next day he was found burned in his truck. Hopefully as I move threw the podcast some light will be shed on that. Just very odd to me.

Please Keep Up Your Great Work
How does Walker County Police continue to get by with such as this? I have known Toby for many years and she’s a great person only doing what a parent should do. I’m sure they would have locked me up more than once if I was dealing with what Toby is. Great podcast and very needed

Just..WOW! An unbelievably sad, angry and intriguing
I live in Birmingham AL. This hits home in a way I cannot describe. It isn't only about the victims but other crimes uncovered during this gripping discovery. The plot thickens, as it is said, AND OH BUT HOW! Let me say, if you enjoy true crime, small town Secrets is for you. Press PLAY NOW! I blew through 9 episodes. Great job Amber and kudos to Toby, (the parent) for fighting for the truth..I want to hear MORE AND MORE of this very twisted cold case that continues. You will enjoy how the story is told as well as the unbelievable circumstances that happened just two counties over from my home town.

Great Story!
Love the podcast and host!! Some of the women interviewed are circular talkers and repeat phrases and details 4 or 5 or more times when talking and telling a story. It’s a little aggravating waiting for them to finish a story. Wish it could have been edited. Grew up in Wetumpka and this story rocked Elmore County and I wish they would arrest this guy!!!

Eric and Gypsy
Compelling and Disturbing. Binged the entirety of Season 2. This story is sadly not the first or last time Elected Officials are and will be corrupt. I think Eric’s mother has unbelievable bravery ,enormous strength and is unstoppable in her pursuit for the truth. I applaud you!!

PLEASE CONTINUE! LOVE THIS PODCAST!!
This is one of the very few podcasts that I listen to. Amazing job! I’m so so thankful for a podcast that doesn’t have constant curse words. They are hard to find. Love stories that have interviews with people related to the story. Also, a podcast that has multiple episodes of a story. Keep up the GREAT work!! I’m elated to find a podcast that has everything I love in a podcast. Hoping you continue with new seasons/episodes. 💜🥰

Eric and gypsy
I’m sure the mom (Toby) has a good idea of who it was. I wish she would say who she thinks it was that murdered Eric. I don’t think it was randy. I think that’s why he was murdered cause he was going to tell. Possible his brother. I’m from walker county right down the road from empire and I know how the county is.. love this podcast!

Great podcast but season 2 is dragging on...
I loved Season 1. I’ve been very interested in Season 2 also, until listening to the last two or three episodes. I think Tobbie’s story is very compelling but I’m tired of listening to her go on and on about numerous details that we have already heard. I love that you got Eric’s case in the hands of someone who will really investigate it but I’m losing interest the longer Tobbie talks.

Good job but tunnel vision
I think over all the podcaster doors a great job of presenting the information; however they develop tunnel vision on a single suspect very quickly to the exclusion of others.

Walker Co Sheriff
When is this position up for re-election? Why can’t the FBI get involved in this and the many other unsolved cases in Walker Co? Most of us are held accountable for the jobs we do everyday and it seems like accountability is taking a back seat in a lot of cases in Walker Co.

I’ve never been much of a podcast listener but I’ve been following you on Facebook since you started covering The deaths of Eric & Gypsy from the same County I live in . I want to say Thank You for all your hard work and dedication to this case, and I’ve also listened to all of the podcasts about Susan & Evan.. my heart breaks for all the family members! I’ve always said That Walker county was the closets Murder Capital to Cullman County! I’m so terrified if I even have to drive thru that County !

Done right
Amber and Mike go out of their way researching and verifying what is said in interviews. That is just one of the reasons you will hear true honest podcast to the best of their ability at Secrets True Crime. They give people their turn to tell their side of the story. No vigilantes here just victims wanting answers that they have been deprived of for almost five years due to certain lawenforcement personnel not doing their job. Most of My family have lived in Walker County all their lives 5 and 6 generations. I grew up here so I can tell you what it was like for me. There are wonderful people in this county. Amber is trying to help solve the horrific murder of my son Eric and his amazing dog Gypsy. If you get upset because they are making your communities look bad get real put yourself in my shoes and tell me what you would do if it was your child burned alive when there are people in these communities who know what happened but don’t tell. This is what gives communities a horrific name throughout the years. Silence speaks volumes. You want to change how people see your communities clean them up and start helping victims and their loved ones.

So many podcast are put out for our entertainment these days. This is one where you can definitely feel the host is doing it because she genuinely wants to help bring awareness and attention to these cases. You can feel how much she cares for the victims and their families. The cases are fascinating but the difference is that this podcaster has brought the humanity back into the story as we all listen to someone else’s nightmare. Thank you for being so real.

This started out a little bumpy. And I honestly don’t know that I would enjoy this golf it hadn’t. The evolution of the tools and the investigative styles has been very quick and the author adapts quickly. I feel like I’m listening to a good friend.
