imagine using Facebook so often that people could almost make an entire documentary just from your posts
This one actually felt very exploitative to me. If you're looking for something to put the events of this case in a timeline - I guess, this documentary does a decent job. But that's all it does. It takes existing footage and arranges it in a specific order. It doesn't attempt to explore the reasoning. It doesn't attempt to uncover something you can't already learn from a simple Google search. It doesn't give it any kind of perspective. All it does is puts the a timeline together, puts the word "murder" in the title, and waits for the true crime crowd to tune in as it puts a family tragedy out on display.
This format of documentary - where they only use real recordings and footages - is incredibly enjoyable to watch.
kind of obsessed with the unnamed friend shannan is pouring her heart out to about the possible infidelity and she's just like "no girl dont say that"
Apart from being a terrible tragedy, I also was shocked by the obsessive taping of the children and social media posting.
i still don’t understand what went thru this stupid mans head like did he seriously think i can just murder my wife and kids and live a happy normal life with my mistress? i have so many questions chile
