The Eleven

These murders happened from 71 and 77. During that time I was 13-19 years old living off the Gulf Freeway 40 miles south of Galveston. My friends and I hitch hiked now and then, and spent a lot of time in Galveston.

This documentary is very good!

The cases included in this series do have some strange links and it caused me to read up to it more, but I felt this info was stretched out over too many episodes, and I could have done without the very detailed, drown out crime reenactments. Those felt a bit gratuitous and I wonder how the families of the victims felt about them (answer: NOT GOOD).

As an enthusiast of documentaries I had high hopes for this documentary but it soon becomes a bore. Starting off I noticed the narrators voice has a southern drawl, is that meant to create a higher link to Texas? The information becomes repetitive and only some of the people being interviewed are credible. How is the sheriff gonna check his computer before they even existed? And some other anachronism. They work hard to make the crimes fit this person and don't follow a natural fit as a puzzle. It becomes nauseating after a while and annoying to be honest. They stretched out the same information when it would've been compressed in a more clear fashion. I recommend as back ground noise but not as an engrossing documentary.

This is like a bad mix of alien sitings and mixing that with real live murders. They should change the title to "When Lunatics Investigate". The man who confessed to these murders talks about being in a government program that had him committing sex crimes at 3 years old. For no apparent reason this guy confesses 25+ years later. The ACTUAL KILLER took means to keep his identity unknown.

Rabbit holes and large leaps of faith here. One of the worst crime docs I have ever seen!! Horrible!!
