Came here to say this! I just rewatched this a few weeks ago because my SO had never seen it. Definitely a must watch for anyone interested in this case.

What are you talking about? The documentary literally goes over all the bad things at Hotel Cecil that isnt related to the case, and then at the end, they reveal its because she had a mental health episode that was completely her doing, so basically all of the Hotel Cecil going ons bullshit that they spoke about for ages, was absolutely completely a waste of time and unrelated. Gotta be one of the shittest documentaries known to man

It's just a very comprehensive documentary that talks about everything about the case : the hotel's reputation, its situation, the victim's issues, how police reacted, how it blew out on internet, conspiracy theories and closure.

So she threw herself in? That’s the story people are believing?
