Maybe it was smart, but it’s a creep at the end of the day. And clearly people like that aren’t so smart, considering the fucked up and depraved actions they take. Let’s not sugarcoat it and baby them. Creepers are weird, that’s it.

    I feel like the Watcher was someone in the neighborhood who probably had a grudge against Maria. Maria grew up in this neighborhood, left, and wanted to come back. The Broaddus's were clearly targeted, and the fact that the person got so upset after the Broaddus's sent letters back to the neighborhood shows a deep personal investment and grudge. It's just so petty and sad. I wish the Broaddus's would've stayed in the neighborhood and just protect themselves. Once this story became viral, it's pretty clear in my opinion that whoever the stalker is has far more to lose than the Broaddus's if the truth plays out.

      doesn’t make sense. if it was someone with a grudge against maria why would they also send neighbors letters who had nothing to do with her? plus they wouldn’t have even known that maria was going to live in the house because they were sent before the family moved in. so that theory just doesn’t really add up at all.

      The series honestly is maddening to watch after having done research and stuff on the case. They know there's no true resolution so they're tying in other entirely unrelated true cases like the List murders and trying to claim it's based on a true story. If I don't think about the true story, it's an interesting show, however.

      The thing about that is “The Watcher” would mail out his letter and it will arrive the next day, and the mailman would deliver the letter to that mailbox. I think the best way is to open each mail and see where it was sent out from, but again it would be illegal to open someone else’s mail.

    For those interested, my family has lived is Westfield for years. It’s a very safe and wealthy suburban town, but there are alot of old-Victorian style homes that have been occupied for years some of which were passed down and are now home to elder recluses who dislike the “yuppy” types moving into town. Developers try and purchase this Victorian era homes to build more modern houses but these lifers refuse to sell. We are friends with many in the town government and the police chief has said they believe it was one of these old reclusive residents, probably living in a family home, who decided to mess with the new home owners.
