12 Insane Documentaries Way Stranger Than Fiction
8. Abducted In Plain Sight
The Brobergs seemed like a typical, church-going American family, that was until they were duped by a sociopathic neighbour who became fixated with their twelve-year-old daughter.
This dark, twisted tale gets more unbelievable with every passing moment. The story of how the sick predator convinced a young child to engage in intercourse with him to save the World from an alien invasion isn’t even the craziest part of this film.
Robert Berchtold, the villain of the piece, had a bizarre stranglehold over not only the young girl, but also her family. It isn’t your typical story of a creepy, paedophile abducting a young girl, Berchtold did most of his grooming of the innocent victim in front of her unfathomably naïve family.
The ultimately harrowing documentary will leave you equal parts confused and angry. It will stay with you for days following as you try to comprehend how any of this actually happened.
