Stolen Voices, Buried Secrets (2011)
Awful-- just ugh
This show is incredibly offensive. Not only are the southern accents Scartlett-O'Hara-esque (and therefore fake as can be), what the victims "say" on the show is insulting. The victim's "thoughts" are dumbed down observations so they seem like 5 year old children looking back on their murders. I do not see how any family member associated with the murder would ever allow this to come to production.
For example, the first (and only) episode I have ever watched (or ever will watch) described a 30-something year old woman who went missing and was killed. Her "voice" was a mockery of the southern accent and "she" made obvious comments: the narrator went on to describe how a local man bought lyme to cover up a dead body smell and "her voice" says "Mama always used to buy lyme in the garden-- how was Earl gon' try hurt me with it?!" as if she were a child who did not understand anything. I'm not associated with her family but I'm offended and embarrassed for them. ID is really grasping for shows to keep their viewers happy and this show is a good example of a shoddily produced show with poorly manufactured reenactments and pointless dialogue just to fill up a time-slot. If you see this playing on your TV, WATCH SOMETHING ELSE. That way you won't be disappointed.
