The FBI never took it over. Bradley Peters works for the Bay City. MI police and was only an FBI liaison. Which means he basically is allowed additional access to some FBI resources, but the FBI wasn't spending any time on it.
She wasn't sophisticated in her masking and an actual Special Agent with the FBI using the full weight of the FBI probably could have had all this info in under a week.

Girl's pupils in that bedroom interview the size of her whole eye. She was loped out.

Owen gotta stay away from that daughter though. She likely to be 2x as crazy as mom after all this business.
In hindsight, it should have been obvious the texts were a middle aged woman trying to come off as a teen.
Also got a sense the investigators were at home stroking one out to that binder full of explicit texts.

Figured out the texter pretty much immediately because of an old show on MTV. I wonder if the mom watched the show called Awkward.
Mom in that show did something similar where she wrote this letter that disparaged her daughter to try and make her try to be a more popular kid instead of geeky loner. There was some weird kinda accident where it looked like the girl tried to commit suicide.

I had read the original article from The Cut a few months ago, so I knew how it turned out. I felt such sympathy for the daughter. But, after seeing the doc (and stewing on it for a couple of days), I think the daughter may have been in on it.

that poor daughter and the dad, holy hell that mother is a crazy bitch

Got that sense too.
Cops execute search warrant and she's in there zooted out and acted oblivious to the whole scene.

I don't think she was in on it but that she might have suspected her mom. There was one scene where she received a text and she responded some like "I give up. What do you want me to do?". That, to me, sounded like a cry to mom versus a stranger, if that makes sense. As far as the dad, I get the feeling he was an alcoholic and was oblivious to everything.

I know she was using a masking app, but how was she able to know and list the area codes where the girl was on vacation?

Small town and being her coach, she probably knew where they were going.

Being involved in this drama was the most exciting thing to happen in this boring arse lady's life. She absolutely loved it.

Dude didn’t want to notice it, bottom line.
Probably the case. Dude sure knew where those burner phones were though.
But then again she probably said those were the phones for her fake jobs.

The kitchen table was completely filled with booze in the background while they executed the search warrant. Idk if it was Dad's or Mom's or both.
I felt like his reaction wasn't genuine either. Had a vibe of, I don't know how to react because I already know, so here's some faux outrage.

I don't think the daughter or the husband had any idea.
The best way I heard it described is that the daughter was in "a cult of 2" with her mother. Teenaged girls with overbearing, mentally ill moms can be very easily manipulated by the mom to believe that the mom is perfect, the mom is always right, and the mom is the only person that you can safely rely on. Girls that grow up in situations like this live and breathe to make their mom happy, so they don't have feelings of their own because they're not really allowed to. Which would explain why the daughter was so stoic when all of this was going down.
Unless you're in one of those situations, it's hard to understand.

Watched last night. Mental illness is real.
I’m just glad Netflix did a single 1:30 show and didn’t stretch this story out to 3-4 episodes.
I had same thought. And at 90 minutes it's stretched really thin.
It was very dull. I'm not surprised it was an adult, but maybe it's because I saw this thread with all the "WTF" comments.

People wonder about the sentence. The FBI turned it all back over to the local jurisdiction.
Because it wasn't an FBI case ever. The FBI was acting on behalf of the Sheriff's dept. because the FBI is the one with the technology to run those searches.
In the doc, the judge stated that the longest sentence he was allowed to give under the law was 19 months and that's how long he gave Kendra.
I feel like a bunch of y'all commenting didn't watch the doc or read the article.
I don't think Lauryn knew what her mom was doing. I think she is a victim of the mom and because of how mom treated her, doesn't know how to be separate from the mom. I think when the Sheriff came to her house, the daughter was in shock. Minor children almost always still say they love and want to see parents even when parents have done awful things. Lauryn isn't currently in contact with her mom and hasn't seen her in maybe 1.5 years. None of these kids are minors now or they are 17 getting ready to turn 18. They are all starting college now. Owen is on a small, private, college baseball team up there somewhere and Khloe is on a Community College volleyball team.

Dad the real victim in all this.
Dude going to work day after day doing a job he hates to support a wife and kid
Supposedly Dad had a job at an oil change place and mom had the job earning most of the money which she lost. She did IT stuff and therefore figured out the masking apps.
Dad was a huge victim, but he also didn't check on much. Daughter and Owen are huge victims as well. Daughter is scarred for life and needs massive therapy. She didn't plan and execute this. You have to remember Owen and Lauryn were 13-15 when this was happening. They were truly kids.

I found it interesting that they used different interviews with her. For the most part, they filmed her when she was wearing that pink outfit and that’s when she seemed the most scarred. My wife and I both said she looked like she wasn’t even there, just this dead look in her eyes, saying she still wanted to be with her mom. fricking unbelievably sad.
But towards the end they show a different interview with her where her hair is different and she seems at least a year older and a little less keen on “rebuilding” that relationship with her mom. It’s a very good thing they are being kept apart.
From digging I've done, apparently the daughter really wanted to make the documentary. I think the pink outfit was an earlier interview, maybe while she was still in HS and the gray outfit was later, like more recent. She even sort of says that when talking about seeing or talking to her mom.
I think in many ways, the doc would be better without Kendra. But on the other hand, her crazy statements like comparing this to drunk driving drive home how crazy see really is.
