If I had the money and equipment, I'd be in Lafayette County, Missouri filming a documentary on the Mohler Case. You can read about the case here. Aside from incest porn and sex toys found in Burrell Mohler, Sr.'s home, no hard evidence has been reported. Burrell and his four sons have been arrested for child sexual abuse. The abuse was reported to be from 1988 to 1995. There are also allegations of children being forced to murder and that they were made to write their grievances down and bury them in jars on the farm property.
Child abuse, rape, and murder. These are horrible accusations and, if true, the guilty should be punished severely. It's important to keep a cool head and not severely punish the innocent.
This would make a fascinating documentary and I hope someone is on it. Questions that should be addressed are:
1) How hard is the evidence?
2) What are the social dynamics within the family, the police force, and the accusers and how do they all interact?
3) Why did the abuse stop in 1995?
4) Why does the time frame of the abuse coincide with the day care sex care abuse hysteria so closely?
5) Was anything illegal found in the pornography owned by Burrell? Apparently, incest porn using consenting adults is not illegal.
6) Why are allegations so late in being made? Were memories recovered in therapy? How reliable are such memories?
It seems like a big leap from a wife, I think justifiably, upset with her husband for having incest porn to that husband having illegal porn and masterminding abuse and murder. Whether it turns out the Burrell's are guilty or not, that leap would make for a fascinating documentary. Drat, some day I'll have that money and equipment.
