Interesting documentary but left out a lot
28 July 2021
This is an interesting documentary but it did leave out some pertinent facts, perhaps intentionally.

The documentary mentions that perhaps Brendt went after Yingying because she is Asian and meek. Why didn't they mention that he also tried to abduct a girl earlier that day and that girl was a blonde blue-eyed American girl? Seems them divulging that would go against the political narrative.

They also failed to mention that Brendt's wife left on a trip with her lover the day of the abduction and took him to the same resort/hotel as she spent with Brendt for their honeymoon. While this of course doesn't absolve Brendt of guilt in the murder of Yingying, it does shed light on to why he started developing psychological issues for which he sought treatment, and why he abducted and killed a girl that day.

There are countless other omissions and I can't but feel at least some of them were intentional.
