The Disappearance of Susan Cox Powell

Once again Stephanie Bauer did an excellent job, but the editing is so bad at times I was considering turning it off. I understand trying to build tension and excitement, but the editing was so bad, it gives the story away before the ending. Why? The story was very sad and the family was creepy so there was no need to edit that way. For the Editors: Justin Barclay, Addison McCoubrey, Dave Rehm, and Dan Fouts... Someone should have reviewed the show and fixed it before it's release! It's almost as bad as the editing of The Curse of Oak Island.

As other reviewers have said, the presenter completely spoils this heartbreaking story with her obsession of making sure she is the centre of attention. There is absolutely no reason why we should see you at all in this. Some clips, seriously repeated 10 times, it felt like 10 x 20 minute episodes had been stitched together. Just a very poor documentary about a sad story. They should've handed it over to professionals to produce.

A 3hr long mess that could've easily been cut in half by these filmmakers, or doubled in length by competent storytellers. The story is dense, yet this documentary fails to dig past the surface, instead repeating the same 5 second clips over and over, and focussing way too much on the female journalist who clearly loves her own airtime.

On top of that, it covers parts of the timeline more than once - for no reason - and reveals way too much too early, eradicating any sense of tension or surprise and making it impossible for any respectable armchair detective to really get into it.

Utter, utter garbage.

I've seen probably ...really every show about this case and i could say this covers the whole thing in the best possible way.. given what we know... regarding evidence. one reviewer criticised the editing asking why the story was given away before the end?.. which i don't understand...? it actually followed the timeline. i liked that. and i liked that it was, to 99% probably, made out of original footage - meaning no reenactments.

totally recommended

I literally never write reviews but this was such a terrible documentary. They did a terrible job with this story and showed the same clips over and over again. The podcast "Cold" does a much better job and would be a better use of your time!!!
