Right up the alley of crime fans and the curious. You'll come away knowing something you didn't. A good follow-up to Girl in the Picture or O.J.: Made in America.
The mood
Gritty, eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 48 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

On January 7th 2005, 29 year old Rick Rodriguez murdered his former nanny and then killed himself on a lonely desert highway. Hours earlier he had videoed his suicide note and this final message provided a remarkable insight into a deeply damaged life. It also lifted the lid on one of the most notorious religious cults to emerge out of the 1960s counter culture: The Children of God sect.
