Wild Crime

I've read the book and this tells a very different story. The timeline is different and most of the details are different from other accounts. I find this discrepancy to be very disconcerting. I don't trust this. I trust the other accounts. I'm assuming that the book changed the names of the principal law enforcement officials. Too much time elapsed before the local Alaska police took this seriously. She was held in captivity for enough time to have possibly achieved another outcome. Law officials who wait to investigate because they make assumptions about the VICTIM have no business being in law enforcement.

I watched both series of this and loved it! The first series was individual stories, while the second consisting of four episodes, was concentrating one one story.

Imagine going to a beautiful natural park, all around there are mountains, valleys, water. Now add to the mix some with murder on their mind, and it's a recipe for nothing good.

Often the murders in these vast rugged areas are left for decades before even being discovered. Luckily as DNA gets better so dies the chance of finding the killer, and the four episodes of the second series show how scientific advances have moved on.

I'm hoping there might be a further series in time.

As a woman and therapist I'd like to give the last instalment of this brilliant, but haunting series a warning. Don't carry on watching this if it makes you feel uncomfortable at the beginning as it only gets worse and is the stuff nightmares are made off. My sincere admiration for the dedicated specialists working on these cases and thank you for doing so. To listen and somehow trying to make sense of these harrowing accounts takes a very strong heart and mind. I do hope and pray that these people get the support they need. It is an important job to understand the origins of those deprived behaviours and hopefully to be able to intervene at source. That would mostly be the social services looking at the child's situation at home.

I really enjoyed the first season but the second season is even better. Couldn't take my eyes off the screen and wanted to watch the next episode immediately. Very interesting case and they have interviews with all those involved. How they track down the identity from just the remains is fascinating and hats off to those who must have spent countless hours researching the genealogy. Hats off also to all the law enforcement who never gave up. The show has a very high production value, well edited and shot with really well done reenactments and great cinematography of Yosemite valley as well. Hope that there is another season.

Watching this program was a chilling experience, but I learned so much about human nature. The family members and agents that shared their feelings and thoughts sent a signal to all of us to watch out for red flags in the relationships of our loved ones. I think they have helped prevent crimes in the future.
