Good documentary, though slow in spots, but stick with it.
I feel it was a sloppy investigation. Where is all the physical evidence? Was there any gunshot residue?was the bullet ever tested for anything? I realize this was in 1974, but I find it interesting that some of the evidence and interviews were lost through the years, knowing it's an unsolved murder.
I totally believe Al is innocent and that the head investigator was on a witch hunt because of his own ego. (Lots of egos in play here. Linda's friend, Janet, especially.) So many other avenues that needed to be thoroughly investigated. What about the women Beverly's husband was cheating with? What about the people her husband dealt drugs with?
I thought it was quite interesting at the end when Beverly's own twin sister said that she had never seen Beverly carry the purse that had been hidden through the years by their mother and then given to Beverly's daughter, and just given to Beverly's twin a few years ago. I think they should try to get some forensic testing done on that purse, just in case there's a slim chance of finding some DNA. That makeup should have some DNA on it, if it hasn't deteriorated. They should have all the evidence tested for DNA , if they haven't yet. I didn't hear them say there was any testing done in recent years.
I really feel for Beverly's family, I can't even begin to imagine what they've been through and are still going through. I feel the police have done the family a great disservice by brainwashing them into thinking Al is the murderer. The evidence just isn't there. I pray they find the real killer!
