This is a strange and twisted story. For some of the people being interviewed it is clear why they are being interviewed: they were the adoptive parents, they were the neighbors, etc. Then there are some where you wonder about why they are in the documentary. There is one who is listed as a "legal expert". What makes her a legal expert? In some documentaries legal expert means police officer or detective, in a lot of documentaries it is judge or lawyer and in some it is someone with a degree in social services and in others it is just someone who works in the government. I have seen some documentaries that have people who work as a records keeper in a social services office and according to their own statement they don't work cases they file things and yet they are listed as a "social worker". I have absolutely no idea what this woman's education or work history is that makes her a legal expert or in what type of law: criminal, business, domestic, family that she is an expert in. I do feel her opinion plays a large role in what she says, if you are a legal expert you should discuss the facts and the law regulating them. When you are discussing an incident where the police are called but never discuss the police report or what the police did you aren't discussing what the law officers did following legal standards and requirements. Why is it the person listed as a "legal expert" is not discussing the legal actions taken but making statements of "I think..." "I feel..." "I believe..." If you are going to have someone listed as a "legal expert" have them discuss the law not their opinion. There are multiple people brought in to share their personal story of their experience with the girl and the family and their story and opinion changes as their story progresses which is understandable. The challenge with a documentary is being able to tell a story sequentially and allowing that change to happen without it becoming muddied and confusing because you have teasers of them saying the opposite of what just said or you don't have proper markers to indicate they are discussing a later time then they just were. These people are obviously being interviewed, it is not a drama, so it's ok to hear the interviewer behind the camera ask the question if it helps to understand the answer.
Overall it is an interesting, and strange story but sloppy production, with teasers and jumping around and people without clear who they are and why they are in the show make the story a little tricky to keep in order. The other problem I have is a little more tricky in that there are comments made by people that contradict what others have said in the past. There is one detective that says a statement about a physical characteristic were false, yet there were multiple doctors at different locations from an earlier time that say otherwise. I don't know why that difference would exist but I do know that a detective is not a doctor and would not perform a physical medical exam and HIPPA laws would make it tricky for him to access any medical records or reports from a medical exam that were not ordered by the court. It is one of those strange points of this show that with one episode left to watch I don't think will be explained.
