TVbitch January 19, 2019 Share January 19, 2019 I hope justice is served to R. Kelly, but I do prefer my Dateline stick to murder mysteries. And I wish documentary shows would puhleaze do away with the close up shots of the victim sloooowly turning their head to the camera in silence.

BusyOctober January 22, 2019 Share January 22, 2019 Regarding Venus’ murderous ex-husband and his precious X Box.... if I were the cops and prison officials, I would have made the deal. “Give us the location of her body, and we will install an X Box in the prison.” Then once the body was recovered, as that dirt bag shuffled back to his cell and the door clanged shut, I’d learn through the bars and say, “You held up your end of the deal, and so did we...the X Box has been delivered. And YOU are banned from playing it, or watching others play it, or even saying ‘X Box’ for the remainder of your sentence, you moronic murdering son of a bitch. Instead, you get to wear your Aloha clown shorts as your prison scrubs so everyone can be reminded of what a truly stupid person you are.” But I wonder if the prisons with gaming systems controll which games they can play? I would hope inmates convicted of violent crimes are not honing their first person shooter skills! And they don’t let them play online do they?

12catcrazy January 22, 2019 Share January 22, 2019 Amazing how Venus' lying sack of shit husband could look the camera straight on and lie, lie, lie. I had a boss like that - pure sociopath- she could look anybody straight in the eye and lie. Very scary dealing with people like that - no guilt, no remorse, just a relentless desire to get what they want in life. At least in this case, the murder's sister actually believed that he did it and helped get some closure for Venus' mother in asking that her brother reveal where he buried Venus. I'm always left shaking my head when you have the murderer's family members who still believe that their son/daughter/father/mother is totally innocent despite all evidence to the contrary short of the murder being caught on video. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/137482-all-episodes-discussion/page/107/#findComment-5000587
iMonrey January 23, 2019 Share January 23, 2019 (edited) I did not think this story merited a 2-hour episode. In fact, no story about a dead woman who was in the middle of a divorce and nasty custody battle needs more than, say, 10 minutes. It's not exactly a mystery, it's more of a study in how the police put the clues together. Which: duh. That said, there was a particularly effective overhead shot of the forest clearing where Venus's body was buried. Dateline managed to find the most chilling piece of music they could find to accompany that shot. I think the most horrific detail of this case was that her husband killed her and left her dead body with their two babies. He clearly did not care whether or not the children lived - it's possible nobody could have found her body for days.* e.t.a. I am apparently mixing up my dead wives killed by husbands in the middle of nasty custody battles. My bad! Thanks 12catcrazy.

In particular the girl who lived with him and said he "wouldn't feed her." Feed her? Was she living in a cage? The way she would stop to dab her eyes then carefully say "it's difficult to talk about" seemed ultra performative. Plus the fact that she went home to her parents and they sued him for millions instead of calling the police is shady as hell. Not saying R Kelly is innocent but I do have to give the side-eye to some of these claimants.
