Customer Reviews
Professional
There isn’t a lot there about this case, but this show is respectful and thorough as it traces what we do know. No lurid, tabloid-style trash here; this is a thoughtful victim-focused show, the way it should be done.
*****
Thoughtful, compelling storytelling.
Dramatic, insightful
Great Mix of a murder mystery with larger questions about how people spin their own tales to fill the blank spots.
