This was a close look at the case of the murdered Andrew Bagby, and then a look his parents in the aftermath, and his baby son. But I happened to be used to true crime writers who also take a measured look at the murderer's life. Shirley was certainly an emotionally disturbed individual, but in this story we don't find out anything about her beginnings, or any attempt to look at what may have lead to her becoming this way. I surmise this is because this story is presented by a person who was a dear part of Andrew's life, and he, of course, came to detest Shirley Turner and was not interested in a humanizing look at her. I can understand this. This is not the story I would get from an objective true crime journalist or writer. This is just a look at the family, and it is well done for that. I have not read the victim's father's book, Dance With the Devil, and I would suspect that to be full of wonderful detail about Andrew and Zachary, and the Canadian authorities huge failures here, which make me angry, but also no insight into the very disturbed Shirley Turner or her other potential victims. So for a more full understanding of the case, I can research it on the net. However, this documentary was very moving for what it was.
