Mr. & Mrs. Murder

If not for this singular woman, who's now gone to be with her beloved son, these two monsters would still be for loose and fancy free, living their lives as if nothing had happened.

But Ms. Cheryl Williams knew in her heart there was something amiss- and at great personal cost (Denise withheld any and all visitation to her only grandchild for the entirety of her childhood) and despite all she had to lose, Ms Cheryl risked it all, relying on the few good people left, and a journalist, an ATF agent, and Brian's wife Cathy to realize she was right. It took far too long, and it's sad no one was going to face charges for Mike's murder, but ultimately, the two monsters that took him from his child rather than filing for divorce are behind bars and it's all you can ask for.

I'm unsure of the reviews blaming Cathy for anything or that she 'knew' something, but that woman went above and beyond anything anyone could have expected. Now if we're talking about Blythe? Well there's someone deserving of scorn and ridicule, and blind allegiance to someone who would throw her under a bus if it meant her own freedoms, but it's all moot.

There's a lot of details this series failed to make mention of- like the great lengths and cost to Ms Cheryl- getting expert opinions from anthropologists, reptile experts, topography experts, etc., and they all called her a crackpot. That's the secondary victim here, and I sincerely hope she felt at least somewhat vindicated.

The documentary is done ok. Far from Netflix quality but better than many other Star/Disney produced true crime documentaries.

Two people who struck me the most were Jennifer (sister of the killer) and Kathy (ex-wife of the killer).

Jennifer told her story in the most honest, direct and uncompromisingly truthful way. I bet it hurt her so much to be talking about her brother and what he had done, but she handled herself with dignity, you could see her intention to pursue justice.

Kathy, the ex-wife, was telling her story as if she alone was responsible for the arrest of the killer and Denise.

And despite of all of her grand-standing, I think it was fairly obvious that her motivation was not to get justice for Mike (the victim of the murder and Denise's first husband, the killer's best friend). It was to avenge herself, to make sure that both Mike and Denise got punished for their cheating and betrayal. She was positively gleeful when she talked about either of them being prosecuted and put in jail, but you could see in her face that she was happy to get what was coming to them for what they did to her.

It's the usual blue collar, Evangelical, true crime $#@%. This is about 75% of what they make now.

Four episodes of poor grammar, and Christians, committing murder.

What you would expect to happen in FLORIDA.

This "documentary" is poorly presented. Mike and Bryan look too much alike, and the producers/director don't help matters, but inserting photographs at the most confusing point. Wait. Is that pic of Bryan or Mike? Seriously, very sloppy. They also could have cut out HALF of this "series.

This was already done as a one episode show on Cold Case Files and kept all the important factual information and presented it in a much more powerful way. This show runs on and focuses on too many things that just made the show drag on. The story is worth hearing but this show just makes it long and unnecessarily drawn out. Watch the Cold Case Files episode on it and its all the same, will save you many hours.

It adds a lot of details that other documentaries on the case have not talked about, but leaving out the relentless work Mike's mother did get the case solved was a travesty. That woman is responsible for getting the case solved, not Kathy. Kathy acts like she did all this work - she did nothing but act like a woman scorned.
