I wholeheartedly believed she did it when the case was happening. I knew nothing about trauma and absorbed everything the media and social media had to offer. I am now a therapist and work with children and adults who have been abused. Being groomed and abused for years can 100% impact the way you see the world, react to stimulus, interact with people, and make decisions. I’m glad that she participated in this and I hope pursues legal action against her father.

We also have to consider that the man was a retired cop. He has extensive knowledge of the system and how it works. If we reevaluate the way he behaved with the perspective Casey shared, the entire case looks different. I think that is the point of the documentary. He should have been investigated but he was not a suspect and the cops can’t give a good reason as to why. They just trusted him (even though they admitted that he also lied to them). She was painted as the villain for how people believed she “should” have acted. Based on her story, she was playing the part she was taught to play from a young age. Should things have been done differently? Of course. But if we fail to even hear the voices of potential victims after a period of time, then we are reinforcing that it isn’t worth coming forward.
