My thoughts (spoilers)


She was crazy and decided to kill herself. Suicide.

I found it interesting about all the coincidences. The virus test with her name. The zip code linking to her resting place. Trippy.

Those coincidences were the whole point.
Creepy, trippy ... and ultimately, just coincidences.
Sad and tragic, but nothing more.

Also sad and tragic were the “websleuths” who thought they were going to solve the case ... without any access to the body, crime scene evidence, suspects, or behind-the-ecenes interviews.

“I think ___________ (so-and-so killed her, there’s a conspiracy, someone knows more)” is not sleuthing, deduction, or investigating. It’s shooting your mouth off with no basis — taking your hypothesis as conclusion. It’s what a fool does.

“‘X’ sounds plausible, therefore ‘X’ happened” is not how science works. Plausibility is used to pick a hypothesis to test, but it then must be tested against known facts. Until tested, it is nothing. No matter how compelling it seems.

Jumping from hypothesis to conclusion without testing explains a lot of society today, especially on social media.

They were trying to find mystery and intrigue where rationality would explain all of their theories.

I won't shed any tears for the creepy rocker though, he was a freak whose videos basically promoted murder.

Maybe you should.
You can think he got what he deserved, but he didn’t.

Next time it could be you or a close one who does something unpopular at the wrong time.

“They were trying to find mystery and intrigue where rationality would explain all of their theories.”

True, and after watching their behavior at the Cecil while “investigating” it seemed clear to me they were pumping up the supernatural/creepy aspect to promote their channels. Basically making a buck off her story.
As for Morbid, I guess he’s one of the earlier victims of cancel culture. It’s sad that the producers waited until the final episode to humanize him but that’s how these crappy docs are made these days...manipulative until the bitter end. By no means do I appreciate his art but that’s the thing with all art, right? If it all was just some homogenized pap that appeals to the lowest common denominator then it wouldn’t be art...it would be CNN.
