    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.

    Interesting Story, Bad Storytelling, Victims Deserve Better

    How is it possible for the final broadcast cut of this documentary to have so many grammatical errors?!?!

    I feel like the victims in this documentary deserve a better storyteller. It feels very disjointed...

    And the reporter they interviewed should be ashamed of the way he's so entertained by the details of this very serious, sad tragedy. He should really show more respect for the victims and their families.

    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.

    Crazy story, but the production quality is poor.

    Poorly produced documentary which deserved far better.

    Disjointed, it feels like its just one big trailer - constantly jumping between scenes, interviews etc.

    And the same music loop all the way through.

    Great story

    Great look at the story outside of the media . Shows the lies told by the media and police. #JusticeforBrittney.
