It's not a badly made documentary. Good use of old footage, particularly news coverage that helped place how noteworthy this murder was at the time. Interesting story....initially. However, it needed to stick to the one, as advertised, Ken Rex murder and keep their foot on the gas with it. Should have been a movie in truth because added unnecessary episodes turned it into a story much less interesting
This one is bad. The story is stretched so thin. Everything's so repetitive, with just a few people interviewed and they just repeat the same thing over and over again episode after episode.
I wish they had listed or told alot more of all what this Ken had done to cause the town's folk to take action. i read the book some years ago and it was a good read
the book's name is "in broad daylight"

This mini series is about several interesting crimes in Skidmore MO but none of them are actually linked to the original murder. I believe the writer is trying to make ends meet for himself because there is nothing here that is connected to the original murder in Skidmore. Skidmore like many towns was destroyed by Methamphetamine addiction and having grown up in a town destroyed by it I am a first hand witness. It has nothing to do with whats going on there today or in the past. The original murder having taken place in the 1980's being following by Americas Meth Crisis now a Meth Opiate Crisis and a random murder by a female lunatic have nothing in common. The Sheriff states that in the videos and it is 100% accurate. Meth has nothing to do with what happened in 1980 in that town and came later which led to two deaths, one lunatic murdered someone they saw on the Internet and then that just leaves the original murder. Nothing is linked and the original shooters in the original murder are likely all dead. Any witnesses to the original crime will soon be dead. The only episode that should have ever aired is number 1. The rest are simply a waste of time due to this directors desperate attempts at connection some kind of conspiracy like curse on the town. Meth is meth there is no magic just a dead end town.
Do you believe in karma? I never have, but this amazing 6-part limited series sure gives me cause to re-evaluate my stance. Stuff like this is what makes me love documentaries, and there is no doubt in my mind that truth is stranger than fiction. Any screenwriter would have been laughed out of Hollywood proposing what happens here as a fictional motion picture. This is one of those rare "potato chip experiences" - you can't stop after just one. I stayed up WAY too late, but I couldn't wait to see what the next episode had to offer. And I'm actually going to leave it at that, because the less you know about what happens the better. Let me just say that I will truly never forget the city of Skidmore MO and its array of colorful and unconventional inhabitants. I was shocked, I was heartbroken, and I was bemused - often simultaneously. I was so close to giving this a perfect rating, but I felt it could have been edited just a bit tighter, especially the final segment. But this is one of the best programs I've seen in a while, and I'm quite tempted to start it over again right away.
