The Fox Hollow Murders: Playground of a Serial Killer

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?

Meaning why are they meaningfully discussing an alt offender named by the actual killer, when said killer was obviously attempting to obfuscate and retain his reputation by stating that, rather than his impending arrest, it was his failing business that was the impetus of his demise - and this documentary is problematic when you understand it's TWO independent documentaries conflated into one 4 episode show - and the woman who is producing the second doc, pretends she just learned about certain developments when we know chronologically she had prior knowledge - we KNOW that - which means this is 'produced' for effect - sadly that's unacceptable unless this is entertainment and NOT a 'true crime documentary'

I for one am disappointed but sadly not surprised.

Please don't get me wrong, the alt suspect, definitely was an accessory however that doesn't assuage or negate any culpability from the lead suspect -

Extremely sad but informative. The homeowner and the paranormal team in the 2nd & 3rd Ep pissed me off though they just seemed exploitative, but I understand they were there as a way to introduce the suspected accomplice so. They might be a necessary evil as they are people who had interactions with him. I like that the documentary exposed the police departments not caring about the victims because they were gay and the families of the victims telling us who they were. I think it is important to remember them as people, not just victims. Often, victims who are gay are just not cared about, and it's an important topic to discuss. The suspected accomplice is extremely disturbing, but I enjoyed his screen time. I think they did well in cornering him to expose himself espouse because he refused to answer their questions at the end which unfortunately did make it a little anticlimactic.

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'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.
