Season 24 Episode 5 aired on 3/20/22; Very sloppy production of this story in which a young woman is found murdered in a red hatchback. The car is shown numerous times throughout the show but in some scenes it is a Chrysler Laser and in others it is a Nissan 300 ZX. The manufacturers’ logos are clearly present and conflict with each other. Very confusing! Folding headlights are shown actually being closed several times yet other photos of the car show fixed non folding headlights. This is a decades old unsolved case in which they are asking the public for help. How can they expect to receive reliable / accurate info when they present such contradictory details?

Absolutely stupid use of narrative and “scenes” that repeat through the show to the point of: “big shoe steps on child’s teddy bear 13 times”, which is overly dramatic and simply insulting to the viewer who’s fully conscious and capable of putting 2 and 2 together to equal 4. Good grief. I cannot watch this blithering stupidity anymore. Scene Take 24: mans shoe steps on child’s teddy bear”...again, in case you didn’t get the point the first 15 times.

I have watched every episode of Paula Zahn and after all these years, I had to find somewhere to do a review. The dramatic music needs to go away it is so annoying, to the point I want to stop watching the show it is not necessary to have the music, I just want to hear the facts. I also read that she isn't really interviewing the people and I always wondered why they weren't seen together in the show, seems to always go from her to the person she is interviewing without them being together like most interviews. Time to change the format please.. I would love to say I love it but not until things change..
