If you're expecting a normal true crime documentary, you're going to be disappointed. This is wholly different. It's less about the crimes (because yes there are multiple crimes) and more about the lives of the people impacted. There are interviews and discussions with media personnel, like a news reporter who interviewed Cary and the actors who portrayed both Steven and Cary in the miniseries from '89. The information about the crimes really seems superfluous, like it's just there to give context for the interviews with Steven's now adult children. You get to learn how these normal people survived tragedy and moved on with their lives and how it impacted them for years and years, as well as how it impacted people who really only had a cursory involvement with the family. I wouldn't call this a true crime documentary. This is something else.
