Wild Crime

I've read the book and this tells a very different story. The timeline is different and most of the details are different from other accounts. I find this discrepancy to be very disconcerting. I don't trust this. I trust the other accounts. I'm assuming that the book changed the names of the principal law enforcement officials. Too much time elapsed before the local Alaska police took this seriously. She was held in captivity for enough time to have possibly achieved another outcome. Law officials who wait to investigate because they make assumptions about the VICTIM have no business being in law enforcement.

I really enjoyed the first season but the second season is even better. Couldn't take my eyes off the screen and wanted to watch the next episode immediately. Very interesting case and they have interviews with all those involved. How they track down the identity from just the remains is fascinating and hats off to those who must have spent countless hours researching the genealogy. Hats off also to all the law enforcement who never gave up. The show has a very high production value, well edited and shot with really well done reenactments and great cinematography of Yosemite valley as well. Hope that there is another season.

A good documentary, but like many others it is far too long and constant repetition of events. The creators could have made it at least one episode shorter. Another thing that bothers me a little is the child being exploited both by name and photo, that would have been unthinkable in my country. I really hope this is not something that affects her further.

As a woman and therapist I'd like to give the last instalment of this brilliant, but haunting series a warning. Don't carry on watching this if it makes you feel uncomfortable at the beginning as it only gets worse and is the stuff nightmares are made off. My sincere admiration for the dedicated specialists working on these cases and thank you for doing so. To listen and somehow trying to make sense of these harrowing accounts takes a very strong heart and mind. I do hope and pray that these people get the support they need. It is an important job to understand the origins of those deprived behaviours and hopefully to be able to intervene at source. That would mostly be the social services looking at the child's situation at home.

I don't think I have ever seen a better crafted documentary. To see the extent these expert professionals went through - their thoroughness, dedication and care for the child Toni Henthorn left behind - was amazing. The viewer gets to see - and live through the eyes of the prosecutors and detectives and family and friends - a very engaging and intricate story of our fellow citizens devoted to getting justice for the victims of this heinous murderer, Harold Henthorn.

Well done. Strongly recommend.
