Jared from Subway: Catching a Monster (2023)
The blond lady doesn't feel like a reliable narrator
It's hard to know what to make of this Rochelle reporter after 1st episode. I kind of don't buy that she instantly picked up that Jared was a predator and it seems like she's selectively telling the story. I don't doubt her overall story is true but I'm wondering if she was really interested in him at first, then it became apparent to her at some point later in their relationship and that's when she started recording. Predators don't want to be found out and it would be unusual for him to share something that would tip off a reporter of all people at one of their first interviews. Of course I can see why she wouldn't want to admit this but there is something off about a reporter deciding to do a "honeytrap" on their own and only going to police later. I don't know, I could be wrong. Either way she's annoying - and why is her kid in this documentary?
Reporters making themselves part of story is always annoying in documentaries (though I see it's slightly different here if she teamed up with FBI). I don't know a thing about Keith Morrison nor his kids and it's why Dateline is so successful. I wish people making docs would do more reporting / journalism and ask questions rather than letting people like her go on and on. (But not the victims of course)
