Grew Up Near Starved Rock
24 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I enjoyed this documentary because I grew up near Starved Rock and have been there dozens of times. I was seven years old when the murders occurred and many people in the area were scared before Weger was caught.

My father told me that matching twine used on the victims was found in the Starved Rock Lodge where Weger worked. More on this key part of the evidence could have been covered, especially if it matched the twine that was used to bind an earlier rape victim at Deer Park.

While DNA from the crime scene is still being analyzed, as far as I can tell, it can prove Weger's guilt, but not his innocence. This is because their is no proof that everyone at the crime scene left their DNA behind.

Finally, the documentary was clearly too long and could have been easily cut by a third. The first and second episodes are the best. If you want to save time, skip the second episode.
