    Detective is a complete idiot.

    The media does not fare much better. Especially this talking head they chose to include? I hope they chose to interview him as an example of what NOT to do. Total scumbag. However, no one is as bad as the detective. How did this green, inept, and barely-out-of-training-wheels "cop" get a case of such magnitude? All you need to do is listen to this loser talk for two minutes and you know he's not qualified to manage a Burger King, let alone lead a missing persons investigation. The investigators, media, and social media trolls should feel NOTHING but deep shame and feelings of inadequacy, because they are trash.

    I think the police got it wrong!

    I don't believe the mom Chassie or the Uncle Scott had anything to do with Brittney's disappearance. She repeatedly said in the interview I didn't do anything with Donnie. Then the police said she did but where is that footage? And why would the uncle turn them in to have sex with the child so they claimed, that he didn't have legal rights too. I think the police got annoyed with the mother causing too much attention and wanted to take her down. At this point they probably figured everyone had something to do with it. It's just my opinion of what I saw.

    Viewer discretion is advised!

    The story behind this documentary is really beyond disturbing and horrible.

    I would have preferred to see more warnings before watching it.

    (I watched it on Cmore where they didn't have that much info about the story or warnings which I think they should have had.)

    Keep this in mind before watching!

    A jaw-dropping account of a horrific set of events

    As I watched the account unfold over the course of this three-part documentary I was as shocked and astonished as I was disturbed to see and hear the details surrounding Brittany's disappearance.

    The manipulation of evidence and testimony further complicates the underlying sinister set of occurrences, and this documentary lays bare some very serious questions.

    My heart goes out to the mother, and the friends and family affected by this heartbreaking tragedy.

    Gripping

    This is one of the most gripping documentaries I have seen. Twists and turns throughout and well paced.
