Taken Together: Who Killed Lyric and Elizabeth?

The music and beats playing during the witness's story is way too loud and distracting. I would have to turn it down because of how loud it was, the. Had to keep rewinding to be able to hear what was said, especially when she was emotional (rightfully so). Honestly, during her story there should have been silence. This story does not need assistance from dramatic music. This is a trend in documentaries and podcasts and is maddening. I am on the second episode and it is getting worse and I am trying to hold on until the end so that I can know the full story. I just hope this trend ends soon. If they want to enhance the drama, make it quieter.

Do you like drone shots of cell phone towers and trauma porn? If so, this series is for you!! This guy must've just bought a drone and wanted to get his money's worth, and he sure did!

This series is filled with repetitive interviews with the same few people who have been interviewed thousands of times, saying the same story everyone already knows... Mostly capitalizing on the trauma the families went through, and making them relive it, adding no new information to the case. Mix that in with drone shots of various cell phone towers, and small Iowa towns... and that sums up this series... The whole thing is very amateurishly done, moves slowly, and is extremely repetitive.

"Oh no, someone mentioned cell phones again! Let's show the cell phone tower drone footage for the 400th time!!" 300 hours of footage? 250 of that had to be b-roll drone shots of cell phone towers. 😂😂

If you've already heard this story, this guy offers nothing new... it's very slow moving and seems like the filmmaker was more interested in interviewing himself, than actually helping this family or the case. Which adds nothing to the film besides getting his name and face out there. Which seemed like his ultimate goal with this series. The conspiracy theory ending was pretty pitiful as well. I'd give this 1000 stars if I could get the 3 hours back it took to watch it lol.

WHY is Sires seemingly interviewing himself? What on earth was the purpose of this when there's plenty of sources that could have given this information, and been taken more seriously. The way he lets Lyric's parents off the hook for their absolutely disgusting behavior was incredibly disingenuous and disturbing; how are they so flippant regarding their felonious conduct when the proximity to their daughter's disappearance? How could they possibly believe that law enforcement wouldn't see them as waving giant red flags in the face of officers? There's still far more questions than answers, especially where the drug usage was still featuring prominently during the initial days of the disappearance.

Sires is so late with this 'series' that he's introducing us to the Delphi case as a still unknown suspect, and yet we know there's someone in custody and linked to the murders.

We see FARRRRR too much of this 'director' who seems to spend more time in front of the camera than doing any serious work on laying out a solid story and telling it fluently. He comes off as a creepy stalker of the case whose next inevitable step is a poorly done podcast.

I feel so badly for Drew- as a mom of 4 I relate far more to him than anyone else featured here; the case was a stones throw from our area, and we have seen this all unfold from the first few hours receiving the Amber Alert, then following the timeline. It's such a tragic story that deserves to be told in a much better, more consistent way than this steaming pile of excrement.

Nowadays everything has to be a mini-series. This documentary is no exception.

It runs in 3 episodes, each about one hour long, when everything would have fit in 30 min, especially because it's end in a fish tail.

The first episode was excrutiantingly slow and boring, adding absolutely nothing to the fact that 2 little girls disappeared together, and were found dead.

The first hour was filled with interviews that shed no light whatsoever, and added no additional facts.

The second episode started by regurgitating the same boring stuff as the first episode, so I skipped over it.

The last episode tries to draw a parallel between the disappearance of the two little girls with a similar abduction elsewhere.

The police apparently thinks the two abductions are unrelated, and so the third hour is filled with speculation.

The end doesn't bring a resolution to all the speculation, so it feels like a total waste of time.

This is still an active case and this needs to be solved. May God bring justice and retribution on the disgusting criminal who did this, retribution in this life and the one to come. May God strengthen Law Enforcement who have to deal with crimes against innocent children and give them insight, wisdom, sleep at night and breakthroughs in cold cases. May God give peace of spirit to the parents and families who endure day by day with unsolved crimes against their believed family members. Whoever did this disgusting crime, you will answer for this, and pay for all eternity! Praying for JUSTICE! In Jesus Name.
