The Fox Hollow Murders: Playground of a Serial Killer

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.

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 -

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.

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?

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.
