Hell in the Heartland: What Happened to Ashley and Lauria

I thought it was well done. Someone said to skip episodes 2 and 3. That makes no sense because there is a process that they are outlining and new suspects come into play during those episodes. I think yoo many people want instant gratification and have no patience.

Seriously. Save yourself 2hrs. Episode 1 is interesting and tells you all the background you need for the case. Episodes 2 and 3 do nothing but repeat the same conversations over and over. Episode 4 moves the case on.

For a fun game, keep track of how the two 'investigators' choose to sit whilst discussing the case with each other. At one point, one of them was knelt down behind the couch?!?

Just google the details. And what's w 50%+ of the film being footage OF the documentarians-👎🏼

What starts out as a really interesting true crime story quickly devolves into an ego trip for the two "experts" shooting this. This isn't a story about the missing girls, it's about two insecure women who want so desperately to be famous that they would exploit a real tragety.

If you enjoy 3 hours of two "filmmakers/investigators" mugging for the camera and stating already stated facts over and over again, with an occasional nugget of useful information sprinkled in, then you'll love this mockumentary. This is a story that could have been told in 30 minutes. I suppose it was. Unfortunately you have to wade through three hours of these women gleefully yammering endlessly on camera to get the 30 minutes of story that had been dismembered and scattered throughout this 3 hour crime scene. Good documentaries do not include hours of the filmmakers on screen. They are obstacles to the story inserted for their own edification and to artificially elongate a story arc. I want my 3 hours back. I feel sorry for the families who had know idea they were being used as bait to entice people to watch the Jax and Sarah (I think that's their names) show. What a sad joke. You are investigators in the same way Geraldo was the investigator into Al Capone's vault. If you ever con anyone else into funding another film, try to put the camera on the story not your own faces. You're really not that interesting.
