Goodnight, Sugar Babe: The Killing of Vera Jo Reigle
Movie • 2013 • Crime
ReportSynopsis
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.

Shocking descriptions throughout the documentary of abuse committed against babies and children - do not watch this if abuse is a trigger

Multiple generations of child sexual abuse are detailed throughout, and young teens are often used for "breeding" purposes, sometimes at the hands of much older people (one central sexual relationship described is between a 23 year old woman and a 16 year old boy)

Nearly every interview subject has very bad, damaged teeth - we don't see the damage occur (drugs, poor hygiene, fights) but the aftermath is very obvious

Not a belt as far as we know, but there are descriptions of children (and also adults with intellectual disabilities) being beaten with various other implements, like sticks and a back scratcher
