I think about this case a lot and I've come to the conclusion that this case won't get solved until there is a sustained pressure on law enforcement to solve it. Netflix now prides itself as the home for true crime. Think of all the possibilities for a series on this case or a series that is broader and focuses on all the missing people from Hunt County. Many true crime series on Netflix have a central case but deal with peripheral issues. This series could focus on the Michael Chambers case and all the different theories or it could raise issues related to small town (rural) justice or all the different criminal justice issues in Hunt County. Heck, one episode could focus on websleuthing in general and how it helps (or doesn't help) law enforcement efforts. This case, along with the other cases in Hunt County, would receive TREMENDOUS attention. I'm sure Philip Klein would participate too. The worst thing for this case, in my humble opinion, is for public pressure to die away.
Dear @Soccerfan,
These are all important ideas you've shared!
I certainly agree with you, as well, that Mr. Chambers' case needs to be (and stay) in the public discourse.
I think of Michael Chambers and how wonderful he was to his family. It's so deeply saddening that he was torn from their lives. Just horrendous.
It seemed as if the case was "blocked" from the beginning. I can't put my finger on it but it has always appeared that way to me.
There is always hope for justice for Mr. Chambers. Your ideas could be what makes the difference.
"Disappeared" was my favorite TV show. I'd be able to watch the episodes, however, and move on. When I watched this episode, however, I found myself in a daze, constantly shaking my head every time I looked into it. As you wrote, it did seem like it was "blocked," or something like that. So many strange, strange pieces to this puzzle and no apparent commitment or drive from law enforcement. After the first few days, it seemed to just get swept under the rug (or a desire to). Then that weird suicide theory that had a thousand holes. So very strange. I want Netflix -- or some media entity like it -- to pick this up and run with it.
Or used to "answer questions" that I believe the Sheriff used to quell the uproar of the investigation. (Sounds like another Sheriff in another investigation).Yes, that "suicide theory" that suddenly appeared -almost as if it was "planted" to muddy the waters. JMO
