Lover Stalker Killer

It really breaks my mind that the investigators in this true crime case took more than 3 years to solve what took me a paltry 15 minutes. Believe me, it is all too easy to deduce and too obvious. I am even a bit angry at the primary victim, Dave Kroupa, for not figuring it out himself. And this is not the first true crime documentary either where investigators are seen doing a lazy and unimaginative job. The events unfolded in 2012 and not in 1912. Electronic surveillance technology was easily available back then and it's shocking that none of the cops thought of using it. Incredibly, it took a set of new detectives and 3 years of head banging by the Omaha P. D. to conclude that the investigation "needed an IT guy", especially when the entire volume of evidence in the case was digital in nature. It is absolutely nuts and revolting.

The documentary was well-organized and maintained a good pace, similar to many of Netflix's true crime documentaries. A notable addition in this documentary was the eerie background score, which, combined with the dark color tones, helped in sustaining a macabre environment throughout.

The twist in the case is not as far-fetched as the investigators made it appear. I'm sure many viewers would have felt the same as I. So, be ready to be disappointed in that respect. I also felt that the documentary fast-forwarded things a bit too quickly between arresting the perp and the court delivering the verdict.

I like this production and rank it as GOOD and WATCHABLE. I enjoyed it but am not too impressed by it. I don't know what Rotten Tomatoes' 100% ratings are about.
