I watched this, last night, and don’t even know what to say. And must have said some variation of WTF about 50 times while watching.
It’s about a family (the Brobergs) that lives in a small Idaho town, in the 1970s. They befriend the new family (the Berchtolds) in town. And the dad, of the new family, becomes obsessed with the middle daughter (Jan who is 12 years old) and eventually kidnaps her. But there are so many twists before, during, and after that, that it’ll make your head spin.
The parentage. Of the Brobergs, is one of the craziest things I’ve ever heard. They appear to genuinely love their kids, but the things they allow/do makes you think they should’ve had their kids taken away. Their gullibility strains the bounds of plausibility.
Anyone else watched this?

It’s such a bizarre story.
Hand relief...and it just keeps getting crazier.

I saw that documentary. Perhaps, one of the weirdest things that I have ever seen. Honestly, the conspiracy theorist in me says that the parents allowed B to have his way with Jan in return for money and/or sexual favors. It just does not make any sense to me that those parents could be that stupid.

Yeah the Dad... I was pretty open mouthed at that revelation. Probably the most bizarre documentary I’ve seen in some time.

I've seen a good amount of true crime documentaries in my time and this one... wow. I said "what?" more times than I can even remember.

It’s one of the most upsetting pieces of media I’ve ever encountered. The fact that those parents never faced any prison time is a true mark against our justice system.

The parents are almost as bad as the child molester.

The parents are almost as bad as the child molester. This. A hundred times this. I am certain that BOTH parents were complicit in B's continued abductions and what would subsequently happen. Hand relief on one end - full on adultery on the other. Continued conversations with a man who has ABDUCTED THEIR f***ING DAUGHTER! No one can be this stupid. |

They could have added a record scratch sound effect about 20 times

Every recorded phone call they played of the mom and B talking AFTER the first kidnapping, and she’s all,”Hey B,” like it’s nothing. And THEN goes on to have an eight month affair with him. Again, AFTER the first abduction. They were totally complicit. |

Watching this now and I'm 30 minutes in and I can honestly say that B is one of the most terrifying men I've ever heard of. The lengths he went to in order to get to Jan is straight up horrific.

Watching this now and I'm 30 minutes in and I can honestly say that B is one of the most terrifying men I've ever heard of. The lengths he went to in order to get to Jan is straight up horrific. It gets "better." And by better, I mean baffling and sad. It's insane, and the mom wanted so much to feel adored... and the dad. The dad. My God. This thread made me want to watch it, and I kept feeling disgusted again and again as it went on. I had to keep reminding myself that the timeline wasn't all screwed up, they still kept a relationship with B after the first kidnapping and abduction. Like nothing ever happened. |

Boy were you not lying. That was insane. I honestly can understand, for the most part, why the parents did what they did. Jan says it herself, B was a master manipulator. He played both of the parents so he could have dirt on both of them to blackmail them with. He was a sociopath. The parents got played and I don't blame them for it because he was so masterful at doing it. Just about everything he did was carefully calculated. I'm sure he did the same thing to his own wife to make her threaten them into signing the affidavit too. |

Those were the two worst parents ever. The hell was going on there!? That shirt was out of control
“C’mon Bob, it’s just kids stuff”
Dude abducted the daughter twice. Had an affair with the wife, and at the minimum got a handy from the dad.
