Goodnight, Sugar Babe: The Killing of Vera Jo Reigle Trailers

The discovery of the mutilated body of a mentally challenged young mother begins a journey into madness that is so unbelievable the mastermind behind the crime ultimately got away with murder. Revealing for the first time how and why it happened filmmaker J. David Miles ventures into the insane mind of a small town crime family's matriarch and uncovers a conspiracy that continues to elude law enforcement to this very day. By going straight to the murderers themselves for interviews it is a true crime investigation like you have never seen, unveiling an alternate motive to what was presented in the courtroom that is as bizarre as it is heartbreaking.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

A splendid glimpse into the mindset of human garbage. I feel unclean having set my eyes on The Brooks family and 90 minutes. You probably will too. Other than the narration being a little judgy at times, it was a pretty solid true crime doc. Also, any narrator who thinks about using the term "baby daddy" should refrain from doing so.

What happened to aiding and abetting being a crime???Every single person that was EVER in that house was part of this crime. (Oh yeah, I would go to their house for pizza and Vera would be getting shoved in the oven, but boy the pizza was good)WHAT? WHAT ? My brain is stuck.

OMG, where to start...If the intent of this film was to help tell Vera's story and bring justice for her, it failed miserably. Instead, it was content to sensationalize a contingent of vile, gross, disturbed, inbred people and their brutal, impoverished way of life. I actually felt like I had to bathe after watching this.My heart broke for Vera, and the little I learned about her. But the story was too haphazard to help me understand how she wound up in this predicament, and why her mother didn't do ANYTHING to get her out of it.One thing that I did learn from this film is that we, as a society, are much to willing to throw disability checks at people and then tuck them away in some backwoods place and forget about them.Oh, and one word to almost everyone in the film...'Dentist'.All in all, this documentary is creepy, but not in a good way. Pass it by on Amazon...

One of the best films I've ever watched. I've been a follower of Vera's horrible murder since it happened and hearing actual members of that family speak made it all so real. The anger they had, the mental state of everyone involved is outrageous. I'd love to see a part 2 with the rest of the interviews with these monsters. Justice for Vera!!!! Dave did more than make a film with this , he opened so many eyes in the community as to what kind of people lurk and are walking the streets. So many people still need charged in this girls murder and it's evident in the film during interviews there is so much more to be examined and investigated into the conspiracy as to why she was killed in such a manner and who really set it up as these 2 strangers who didn't even know her til days before her killing.
