    The police in the Jon Benet Ramsey case were absolutely incompetent. Just a 5min drive from where she was killed, another little girl was attacked & raped in her own home. It was a girl who ran in some of the same circles as Jon Benet. The cops threw away the bedding with the assailant's DNA. They destroyed evidence and refused to look for outside suspects or do a bare minimum investigation. I personally suspect her killer was in law enforcement and the cops covered it up. There were signs that a stun gun had been used on her. I felt bad for Burke. I almost lost all respect for Jim Clemente (former FBI BAU agent) for his part in that misleading documentary.

    The Burke Ramsay one is saddest to me. He lost his sister and was subject to that whole media circus when he was just a little boy. Then his mom died of cancer. He’s been through so many tragedies. Yeah, he was a bit awkward and nervous in the Dr. Phil interview, but I think any normal person would feel anxious in that scenario. Apparently Burke sued the pants off the people who made the documentary, and I’m so glad he did, but no amount of money is worth being publicly accused of a vicious crime you didn’t commit.

And while in cases like this it's usually family or someone close to the family that commits the crime in this case I think it could be the boogeyman of our nightmares in that it's someone with no connection to the family who somehow came across that poor little girl and did the unthinkable.

      Yes they wouldn't have been ruined if not for the actions in the first place, but there would be no platform or exposure to broadcast said action and bring them consequences. So in effect the Docs did ruin their lives, btw saying that a doc ruined a bad persons life isn't sympathizing or victimizing the bad person, weather or not they did a bad thing their life was still ruined. Hitler's life was ruined by the invasion of Berlin doesn't mean he didn't deserve it.

      Robert Durst contracting elderly-onset hydrocephalus while not being treated for his condition by placing a shunt in his brain could also bring on headaches, gait changes as well as personality changes if a neurosurgeron was slow to spot enlarged ventricles in his brain by doing an MRI, CT scan or a spinal tap where the brain surgeon drains cerebral spinal fluid & sends it to the lab for testing to make sure there are no infections in the CSF levels. Who knows how long he had this fluid floating around in his brain or if there is an excessive amount that could also cause personality changes such as a very drastic penchant for wanting to commit murder?

I think he got angry and lost his temper with Jon but ended up going too far and killing her. And the parents helped cover it up, no matter how painful it must of been for them but I think that they didn’t want to loose another child. I mean that ransom note and where she was found and how long it took to find her body (they wanted a witness to be with them wen they discovered the body, so that’s y they searched the house ‘properly’ wen their friends and neighbours arrived at their house.

      I thought it was ridiculous when I first heard the theory, but there's a UA-cam channel called Deception Detective by a lawyer trained in "statement analysis" and he has a whole series about the Ramsey's. He really puts forth some compelling evidence pointing towards Burke's guilt, mostly from the family's own statements. This video was also incorrect to say that DNA exonerated the Ramsey's. It's true that foreign DNA from an unidentified person was found, but there are other explanations as to why it was there.

      You saw a CHILD through clips of videos that were placed in a documentary that's intended to give you those vibes. Children don't process or react to things the way they will when they become adults. Children have a very good way of shutting down and compartmentalizing off things that are too big for them to explain or understand or just overwhelming. They're also very "of the moment", which means that even if a child is deep down scared and sad, they'll often change their MOOD in response to positive things temporarily.
      You have no insight into what Burke would've truly understood of the situation and from that standpoint, his reactions could be actually totally reasonable. You also have no insight into Burke's upbringing up until his sister's murder. Children can think a lot of terrible things are normal if that's just how they've been raised.
      Your way of responding to "vibes" and coming to the strongly held belief that Burke killed his sister is the same attitude that had a lot of children labeled as liars or just repeating what adults told them because when someone with NO EXPERTISE IN CHILD PSYCHOLOGY OR TRAUMA RESPONSES IN GENERAL viewed video tapes of them describing how they'd been sexually assaulted or abused and wrote them off? Because someone was like "ooh, that kids got a behavioral issues vibe". You know how many children have been sent back to their abusers?
      You can look at anyone's response in the hours and days and find something "off" if you want to, especially when viewing it in carefully laid out clips meant to persuade you of something. They're too calm or they're crying too much. They remember too little or remember too MANY details. They're a little too helpful to police or they're not helpful enough.

Some true crime documentaries have a presumption of guilt, before there was a court case or even after they had been proven guilty, which is a bit dodgy, especially as Netflix makes money over presumptions of guilt. Saying that, some documentaries are incredibly fascinating, when done properly, they talk of bias, and the law, and the process of the law. And to me that is interesting. I suppose it comes down to the film making more than anything.

      Becky Fischer doesn't regret making the film though, since her fame in the Pentecostal movement has remained and she started a new even more successful ministry.

    The documentary we are experiencing called REAL LIFE has shown that Rudy Giuliani is a garbage human and he’s really great at ruining his own life

      I lived in NYC when Giuliani was the mayor, it was a paradise compared to the shit hole it is now. I’d take him back in a second.

    Many of these are people ruining their own lives by showing their true selves before the cameras. Don't blame the documentaries. As for "Jesus Camp," though the response of vandalism was wrong, this documentary stopped many children's lives from being ruined.

    How can you mention Kony 2012 and not mention that the director/producer of the doc (who made himself a subject in the piece itself) had a very public mental breakdown and arrest after it unexpectedly went viral? That’s something I’ve long wanted insight on.
