![]() That's right - YOU! -created the monster. People whining about the media and "fake news" don't realize they have themselves to blame. What about the not so attractive? Young males? Children and women and men of color? They matter too. The injustice suffered by this family and especially by Brittany is profound, disgusting, and very disturbing.ĭon't get me wrong, I care about any child, no matter the color or the family they are born into, but I do get annoyed at the massive amplification when they missing person is a young attractive white female. Let's not judge someone based on the family they were born into. What does that say about our system and our society? Brittany deserves to be found and deserves justice, even if she had no friends or family. The message implied is that if you yourself, a member of the public, go missing, it is only worth finding out what happened to you if you have a "good" family that is judged as "deserving" of help. Regardless of all this, even if Chessie, her brother, and her son are all guilty, the police and the DA had a duty to conduct a thorough investigation into the disappearance of Brittany. And if the son was truly 18 when he offended against a minor despite the fact that he was a victim himself from the age of 5 or 6 and already likely had sexual contact with that minor previously when he himself was a minor, it is horrible to think he is labeled a sex offender for life. The testimony of the detective absolutely reeked of the confirmation bias- he decided that the brother was guilty so he interpreted the facts to fit his preconceived belief. The facts provided by the documentary, particularly by the detective, leads me to strongly believe that her brother was also falsely accused. I found Chessie's police interview to be genuine shock and disgust at the thought of sexual contact with a child. ![]() ![]() The one thing I really liked that he acknowledged is the fact that no one wanted to take ownership of the missing person portion of this case. As a psychologist, I am struck by the ignorance and naivety of the detective. I watch true crime incessantly and rarely does a show catch my attention like this case. Where to start- this was intense but gripping.
