This was just sad. Every time they showed a picture of Shannan Gilbert I wanted to reach through the tv (and through time) to give her a hug. That child needed so much more than a hug, but a hug would have been a good start. And then the kicker at the end that Shannan's other sister murdered their mom. Good lord.

I think it would make sense that the killer had something to do with law enforcement because of the way he taunted the families but knew not to stay on the line for too long. Or maybe that's Criminal Knowledge 101 and any old serial killer would know to do that?

Obviously the burlap is a key. I'm surprised they didn't go more into investigating the source of that burlap, there must be a way to tell where it came from.

I found this disappointing. Not much about the other victims and nothing new, with lots of replay of the reenactment bits. I'd recommend A&E's The Killing Season over this.
