Nothing else should be done on this unless it gets solved - which, thanks in large part to the cops who contaminated the crime scene and the few who do know not talking/taking it to the grave, it won't be. That said, I do believe the brother did it and the parents covered it up. And of course that version likely will never be covered in a film or series

Will I watch Clive Owen in anything? Yes, it seems I would.

I watched that monsieur spade. It was half baked but Clive was yummy.

wtf

This case makes me mad, two kids with clear signs of sexual abuse and people don't want to see the neon arrows pointing to the very litigious J***?

mte. i saw a reddit comment recently that was like "john is the luckiest son of a bitch to somehow end up in 4th place on most people's suspect list, behind a literal child, some random stranger and his wife."

I am hoping the tides finally turn somehow on this case, people on reddit, like this guy, really put in a ton of work to be more thoughtful with actual evidence and disrupting the decades of tabloid coverage.

I think I just lost two hours reading that. Holy crap. Okay. Um, yeah. If this movie isn't (basically) that then it doesn't need to be done

[progression]

Gross and unnecessary.

I was a kid myself so I never really understood who was the most likely culprit (other than the fact that it was someone in her family). I remember adults saying that the cops botched the case, but other than that I never looked into it because it was just so disturbing to me. Idk why since I’ve consumed other true crime stories; maybe because her face was plastered everywhere and I just wanted her to rest.
