Are you watching The Staircase on HBO Max?

Just watched the Netflix documentary and I don’t see how there wasn’t reasonable doubt. He’s weird and the husband is usually the killer, but I wasn’t convinced by the evidence. On to the HBO version, I guess.

Those poor girls. They’ve lost and suffered so much.

Parker Posey as Freda Black is genius casting. I remember this case and the trial, but I’m from NC.

He totally did it.

A particularly good watch after having seen the documentary. The guy they cast as Peterson is uncanny.

What? In NC Freda Black was a legend.

The owl theory is that she went outside to do something w the Christmas lights, was attacked/scalp shredded up while outside then rushed inside and fell in stairs.

The similarity between her strange wounds and photos of owl attacks on a dog are really striking. I have no idea what happened and think there’s a good chance he did it but I think there was reasonable doubt.

He murdered her.

Of course he did. The owl theory is bizarre and stupid.

I don’t think it’s stupid. They could never explain the strange marks on her head.

It would make more sense if they found any blood on the way to the stairs.

It was really creepy that the scalp cuts were nearly identical to the woman in Germany.

I think he did it but I don’t think the evidence was convincing enough. I watched both the documentary and the mini series. I’m more convinced that he did it after watching the mini series, but I guess that’s to be expected.

With no other forensic evidence? An attack would have meant lots of feathers not one microscopic one whose origins were never determined.

Why do you think this? Owls are stealth apex predators - I would think they wouldn’t leave a lot of feathers and mess when they attacked.

The two dead women had the same scalp marks. And no internal head bruising. That’s just too weird.

The fact that she didn’t have any fractures in her head lead because to believe it was an accident of some sense. It’s not up to us to determine, but I don’t think he did it.

I lived in Durham at the time of the Peterson death; in fact the judge in the case was my next door neighbor.

I don’t have a strong opinion on the owl theory, aside from thinking that it isn’t as far fetched as it might first seem, and explains the variety of injuries to Kathleen much better than a blunt force attack does. Around the time of the Peterson death I had owls visit the balcony outside my bedroom on a fairly regular basis. They attacked each other and made horrible, bloodcurdling sounds that I can only liken to chimpanzees fighting to the death. I would flip on the balcony light and bang on the door to try and get them to stop with the noise, but they would then turn their attention on me and start lunging at the glass door. I would sure as hell not want to tangle with one, big or small.

The documentary was produced by the defense. You reached the conclusion they wanted you to have.

If she was attacked outside, her husband and possibly neighbors would have heard her scream. Plus as another PP noted, there would have been blood from the location of the attack to the stairs.

The parallels between the two very unusual deaths proves he’s guilty (imo).
