Garbage police work

It is evident that the police did not work hard at solving this. Of course it is possible that the documentary is just shallow and incomplete. But if we believe the documentary, nobody really pressed any potential involved parties. Potential leads were not pursued hard. Justice was not a top priority. It seems like a failed investigation.ABOUT MY REVIEWS:I do not include a synopsis of the film/show -- you can get that anywhere and that does not constitute a meaningful review -- but rather my thoughts and feelings on the film that hopefully will be informative to you in deciding whether to invest 90-180 minutes of your life on it.My scale: 1-5 decreasing degrees of "terrible", with 5 being "mediocre" 6- OK. Generally held my interest OR had reasonable cast and/or cinematography, might watch it again 7 - Good. My default rating for a movie I liked enough to watch again, but didn't rise to the upper echelons 8- Very good. Would watch again and recommend to others 9- Outstanding. Would watch over and over; top 10% of my ratings 10 - A classic. (Less than 2% receive this rating). For Lifetime Movies for Chicks (LMFC), drop the above scale by 3 notches. A 6 is excellent and 7 almost unattainable.

Nothing Great

I finished a book(The Burger Chef Murders) on this case today and watched the documentary for further information. Some of the people mentioned in the book are interviewed and they add nothing new to the forty year investigation.A retired cop regrets not having solved the bewildering crime for so long and a pair of podcasters are as clueless as the cop. The current trend of crime programs seems to feel the need for the inclusion of podcasters. It is a totally meaningless use of investigative resources.One particular interview subject looks like Rip Van Winkle and his supposed eyewitness testimony feels about as credible as someone offering the sale of the Brooklyn Bridge.I was not impressed by either the book or this film about the unsolved murders.

Weaker "Unsolved Mysteries."

Murders at the Burger Joint is basically an episode of "Unsolved Mysteries," without the spooky music and any sort of reenactment.The death of four youths working the night shift, mixed up with shady characters and involved in drugs. I don't see the point of the documentary, two people bringing it to everyone's attention and discussing it, but nothing comes of it, nor is it necessarily a mystery. Pretty crazy that the burger joint would open for business the next day, with money taken and those people not contactable. There was no evidence of violence at the location however, later found elsewhere.
