Missing Kenley

This documentary is one of the best unsolved series I've ever seen. Not only does it have all the kinds of twists and turns and cliffhangers that you would want and expect in this kind of docuseries, it is unlike most true crime series I've ever seen in that it actually humanizes the victim rather than exploits them. In fact, the series dedicates an entire section (part 4 in episode 2: "The Seeker") to Kenley's full biography, going back to his childhood and taking it through to his time traveling before college, all of which also helps to create a victimology of sorts that ultimately provides audiences a deeper understanding of what could have happened to him, and why. The film, true to the genre, ups the stakes in episodes 4 & 5, and we experience the case playing out in real time, as a quarter-century old family secret emerges and new evidence comes to light. I found it so engaging, so meticulously detailed, so thoughtful, and yet so heart-wrenching, I binged it straight through.

I never found a clue not one ,still thinking about Kenley log after the Doc. It felt like Friends wanted to say something but thought better of it not to upset the Family . Something was off, he had many friends it seemed and not one noticed anything strange, no one wanted to mention he could have been gay or perhaps had a drinking problem.

Something was bothering that kid so odd nobody knew what , why did he return from Mexico under a fake name that could have potentially been a clue it wasn't mention again I wanted to ask so many questions. Investigation Sucked too I hope someone finds him so he can be put to rest and his family have closure .

Excellent docuseries! A story of many tangents, regarding the dissappearance of Kenley Matheson, a young man with a promissing future, just two weeks into his 1st year at Acadia University in smalltown Wolfville, NS. Ron highlights the web of chaos from obtuse tales by peers and authorities which manipulate the narrative. Why? To generate awareness about this shameful cold case, giving Kenley and his family a voice for the first time in 30+ years. Thanks for producing this series and making Kenley's story more relevant to us all, education on "what not to do" during missing persons investigations. Someone knows where Kenley is; let's hope they find compassion to connect the dots and officially grant his family peace. We are, in fact, missing Kenley. 💙

I gave it 3 stars to give credit to the tech guys and gals working on this "documentary" in the background. However, I find this piece an absolute joke. The first thing they taught us in Journalism (and never stopped repeating) was that the number one rule is objectivity. The wat this "documentary" ran with absolutely ridiculous accusations by an obviously nutty family (there's no better way of putting it) unsubstantiated by ANY facts and accused people ON TV for everyone to see makes me sick to my stomach. Using a hypnotherapist? Where did all the common sense and decency go? Numbers before feelings? The first episode was very good and it went down the hill from there. Do yourself a favor and go for a day hike and do something good for your health instead of watching this "documentary". Very sad you used a disaapearance of a man like this.

"I want to be a filmmaker. What is the least interesting missing persons case that I can possibly find, and how can I make a film about it that is as long as possible?" Disappearances generally are interesting, but this one is not. At the end of the first episode, I was asking myself, what is the point of this? Sadly, there seems to be no point. I made it about 15 minutes into the second episode before giving up. I am sorry for Kenley's family, but this "documentary" does nothing at all to foster interest in his case. Move along folks, there is nothing to see here. Nothing else to say but to meet minimum character limit.
