    Thank you for telling THEIR STORIES

    This touched the depths of my soul. Want the families to know their Loved Ones are NOT garbage. The store owner is as guilty as the perp. We have a responsibly to each other. Wow. If you are not part of the solution,(lifting a fallen, fellow Human Being) you ARE the problem.

    Devastatingly real

    Devastatingly real. No one deserves to lose their life like these woman did. No matter their lifestyle choice and their vices. Prayers to those who were left behind and the survivors. Heartbreaking and disturbing.

    Gripping, A must see!!!

    The filmmaker amazes with a point of view from the survivor and painting a bone chilling clear portrait of how these victims were seen through the public eye. It offers the victims a chance to tell their side and to engulf the viewer in the understanding that they are people too fighting their own demons along with defending against a neighborhood monster. Excellent documentary, a must see for all crime series fans!

    Unseen

    Good documentary, but I was expecting more of why they were "unseen" by society and the police. The documentary focused on a couple of the victims that got away. There were some very negative comments stated by one of the store owners in the neighborhood that really served no purpose in the documentary. Why the film creators decided to leave his comments in is questionable.

    I'm not into easily moved

    I've not waste my time reading anything about this.

    All the women (and the pastor) who spoke touched me deeply.

    I'm not going to get into anything about this documentary other than to say all the people who spoke - I actually teared up. These people - the women who suffered the horrors, and those who were in this neighbourhood - I can't put it into simplistic words other than I've now compassion, understanding for them than many people I know.

    I just wanted to hug each one of them.

    This is a unique documentary able the killings which took place in a drug-riddled area of Ohio.
