David Miles ventures into the insane mind of a small town crime family's matriarch and uncovers a conspiracy that continues to elude law enforcement to this very day. By going straight to the murderers themselves for interviews it is a true crime investigation like you have never seen, unveiling an alternate motive to what was presented in the courtroom that is as bizarre as it is heartbreaking.

Instant Favorite.
Good movie but grossly overrated
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I rate it an eight because it is truly exposing of that side of life that no one really wants to admit exists. The uneducated, unhealthy, morally compromised, mentally challenged side of America. Whose problem is it really? Parental, societal, economic failure at it's best or at it's worse!?!
This family crawled straight out of the pits of Hell. There is something severely wrong with this group; from momma down to the youngest child. Pure evil.
This was one of the most infuriating documentaries I have ever watched. The entire cast of people interviewed in this film appear to be products of incest, rampant drug/sexual abuse, and mental illness. I had no idea people this creepy even existed, especially not in Ohio. I am a social worker with homeless people in a major southern city, and I have never witnesses anyone even remotely as grotesque and ultimately insane as these people. It was hard to look at and listen to these people. What really enraged me was that everyone knew exactly what was going to happen as Vera left the house the night of her death, and yet they just stood by and watched. Not to mention the many other incidents of abuse that they all watched Vera endure. I'm still not sure how all of these people were witnesses to some of the events that occurred and not charged with anything..seriously, how many people lived in that house? They all seem so aloof and most of them seem developmentally delayed. The entire family is revolting, and I don't understand why Cheri "sugar babe" is not in prison. Good film, but trashy people and disturbing events.
It's unbelievable this is a true story. I'm astonished how disturbed this family was to the point where there is no remorse. It's wonderful this truth is out there for Vera since she wasn't strong enough to defend herself from this horrible family. These people represent the lowest common denominator of human life and the movie does a good job of getting the viewer to understand why they're as disturbed as they are. I hope there is further vindication for Vera. The silver lining is that her daughter gets to grow up away from these people.
