The Fox Hollow Murders: Playground of a Serial Killer

This show is an interesting mix of factual information and woo-hoo nonsense. The parts of the program that covered actual factual events, the victims, their families, the killer(s), and the lack of engagement from law enforcement were interesting to any true crime fan. However, the show dips into alleged psychics, bad energy, ghosts, and whoo-hoo nonsense far too often. True crime does not mix well with this kind of nonsense and it throws off the throw of the show to the point I could not finish all the episodes and instead just fast-forwarded through the bull-slingers and their monetized nonsense. This includes the new owner of the property and the weirdos who pretend they are ghost hunting. I recommend you do the same.

I love true-crime dramas and documentaries but this one was so boring, I just couldn't watch more than one episode. I had seen this story years ago on some other show and found it really fascinating. So I was anxious to watch this. But I could see fairly quickly that this was not for me. So little information about what actually happened. Just law enforcement and prosecutors rehashing what they did and, more importantly, didn't do at the time. I found myself fighting to stay awake. So boring!

I tried to watch the second episode but was creeped out by the weird dude that now owns the house. Why would you give him the attention he is so desperately seeking?

Bounces from wall to wall, from hearsay to hearsay, from one version of the truth to another with the main subject witness / suspect being obviously mentally compromised who at times seems to think it's all a big joke, at times lies and at times basically adds nothing to further the investigation or the story.

By the time you get to episode 4 you realise you've been sold a dud and that it's all probably just a show that's put on for television and has very little to do with reality.

Even if you have time to waste you'd probably be better off reading about this online instead of having to sit through some of the most non credible, semi scripted doco footage ever brought to screen.

I'm unsure why it's three total episodes- there's so many people who only add ridiculous amounts of nothing, adding nothing, frustrating maddening, frivolous excuses, and it goes absolutely nowhere.

I do feel badly for the families with no answers, but this does nothing to get them any closer to answers; they're used only as a means to an end, filling time.

The coroner and his endeavor to put names to remains is admirable, but between law enforcement and the prosecutors who did absolutely nothing close to resembling arresting this monster, despite mountains of evidence, and couldn't even be bothered to watch him, much less gain an arrest warrant to haul him in, allowed this demonstrably horrific criminal to escape to another country and end his own life, on his own terms. The entire county of Hamilton completely dropped the ball and yet, no one was reprimanded, not a single person was held to account.

There's almost an entire episode of what I can only describe as childish scribbling on the wall- the new homeowner seems like quite the insane attention seeker, and brings in psychics, priests, people who can supposedly speak with the deceased, and the whole episode was nothing but fast-forwarding through all of it.

Mark Goodyear was absolutely an accomplice, if not also culpable for the crimes committed. He was in that home numerous times, and somehow law enforcement just let him walk away, despite him being able to just go home.

This is so frustratingly bad, so poorly scripted, so horrendous and hard to watch. Skip it for sure.

I'm going to disagree with the negative reviews here. This is a fascinating and shocking case that has been casually swept under the rug because some men like the company of other men - which should never impact "unbiased" investigation and justice. It deserves all of the airtime it can get.

TEN THOUSAND bones, you guys. The nitty gritty details of liking or not liking the production choices shouldn't be the focus here. These families and numerous victims deserve justice and recognition for being treated unfairly by a system that picks and chooses who it wants to support based on their own personal bias and discriminatory views. What the hell, Indiana?! What the actual hell. I sigh in relief that I'm not American. It's blowing my mind that this isn't a bigger deal. Ten THOUSAND bones. Cool, cool, cool.
