WOW

I was already familiar with this story thanks to Dateline, but when I saw the story was a 3 part series on Netflix I decided to support the Denise and Aaron, and I sincerely hope they got paid substantially for telling their story again, a story they told once again in so much detail.

I was surprised how good this series was, three episodes was perfect. New information flowed in every episode, it wasn't slow, it was informative, and organized. Better than most true crime series on Netflix.

I am left incredibly frustrated though by how Denise heard people show up and have a heated argument, yet lazy and careless LE didn't investigate the fact Muller could have escalated to being in a "crime operation". Especially since, historically, his deviance escalated from peeping Tom, to break in's and assault, to break in and sexual assault, and then kidnapping.

They (LE) fail to find out why the original target was a target in the first place (if I were her I'd be in hiding forever).

The FBI - I'm left appalled. I had little to hope left in the FBI before this series, now I truly think this country needs a lobotomy.

And Mustard. What a trash human, lacking in any masculinity to serve and protect. He calls rape a "thrill" that survivors want to repeat. Is it wrong to hope he experiences such a "thrill" himself while he's on earth?

I love his this series blows up local LE and the FBI - proving their bias, incompetence, and malevolence.

And the cursing - yeah, they drop some f bombs. Here's the facts: dateline can't air the curse words, but Netflix can. Cursing as one tells their trauma story is not just Normal, but common. Trauma will make a person who has never cursed begin cursing. So the fact this series allows the survivors to express themselves authentically - I appreciate and I understand. This isn't a story or series for children, so if you're an adult you should be able to understand why a f bomb is dropped as someone details their trauma and sexual assault.

God Bless Carausu for being a real life Olivia Benson. Without her skill and deep care for helping survivors, I hate to think of how this would have ended poorly for Denise and Aaron. Carausu is indeed a hero, and proof there are brilliant people in LE that we need.
