Super confused why the interviewed a psychiatrist who had never spoken to the killer. She was able to give her thoughts serval times during the documentary. Not sure they needed to include her at all. She brought absolutely itching to the documentary. The story was somewhat interesting.

Not Terrible but Not Great
Worth a Watch
(spoilers)....
Pretty clear what took place here. She was leaving to go live with a boyfriend in another state for Christ sakes. The night before he's naked in her closet. He obv felt abandoned both women he was living with were about to leave to be with other men, he had a crap job, a drinking problem, his father did a murder suicide. He obviously snapped. Sad sad story.
Solid forensic analysis but not very balanced
If you're interested in parasomnias and automatonism defences then this has some good explanations. However, this documentary was made without the blessing of the victim's family and the lack of detail about the victim is rather glaring and feels inappropriate. The commentary about Randy's upbringing with women and the pressures of masculinity are spot-on and extremely important in the context of male violence and femicide so please ignore the butthurt comments from the ignorant present on this IMDB page.
