It's a terrible story. But it should have been one about a tragic accident and parents left to come to terms with life without their son. Yet it was complicated by the media attention that the disappearance and long search garnered, which in turn opened the way for conspiracy theorists to seize on the case, and trolls to spread rumours and fuel the misery.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
