Really wish this ilk of program would come with the warning label 'aspersions cast/no resolution'.

So close....

....and yet sooooooo far! Disappointing. Well told but leading to nowhere really....waste of time.

There have been so many true crime documentaries that I've wondered for a while when networks - much as they have with "reality" shows - would start making up. I believe this show and Netflix's Abducted in Plain Sight were outright fabrication. The genre is as full of tropes as any other and it's taken on a paint by numbers formula. Cold Valley is at least plausible, unlike the completely preposterous Abducted in Plain Sight which was just trashola schlock passed of as True without much of anyone noticing. But something about Cold Valley just seems too perfect to be true. There's little or no real information offered. Just a bunch of weird old white people saying all the exact same things as every single other show has ever said. I love how the weirdos in this tiny town are found where?! The Little Theater that's where! That much is at least true. Not sure of the validity of Investigation Discovery network but they seem to specialize in the modern equivalent of Lifetime Movies. Owned by the same folks who make the made up House Swap shows. Yeah this is trash. If you're looking for Capital T True Crime? Look somewhere else...
