"The Secrets we Bury" on HBO Max

"The Secrets we Bury" is a documentary currently airing on HBO Max. It's about a man go goes missing in Long Island, NY in 1963 and chronicles his family's attempts to discover what really happened to him.
I felt like the doc was very well done, and there were a lot of twists and turns. I also felt like the main character - Mike, is very relatable. His childhood growing up in Long Island in the 60's and 70's is very similar to growing up here. If he lived in Louisiana, he'd 100% be a regular Tigerdroppings poster.
I recommend going into the doc cold, but if you don't care, spoilers will be in the posts below.

Looks like a case of the whoring spouse being an accomplice to the handyman, who murdered her husband and buried him in the basement. Ironically, the husband hired the handyman that ultimately killed him.

I met an old man from Louisiana who told me about a brother he had that left home in the 1950s and they never saw him again. The brother was 17 while he was still a kid. Said he left a goodbye note with no explanation or destination.
I dunno why your post made me think of that man but I never forgot him. Both parents died never seeing their first born son again. Can't even imagine but when the guy told me about it, he still choked up.

Was well done and the Mom absolutely knew what happened to the Dad.

Thanks. Will check it out. Wife and I love these types of docs.

The whole thing stinks.
The man comes back after the war. Gets a reputation for being "heavy handed" with his wife.
New guy comes back from Jail, gets a job as a handyman from the husband.
Husband goes missing one day. No one questions this. No one submits a police report.
The missing husband's parents or brother doesn't do anything. Never attempts to contact the wife/kids.
It's all fishy.
Then, everyone just kind of glosses over the part where the oldest sister goes to a psychic and the psychic tells Mike where the body is hidden. I mean WTF? Do we believe psychics are real, or are we to assume the oldest sister knew mom's secret and had it exposed via the medium?
And the sister Pat who deuced out at age 15 because mom said she was the crazy one - yet had obviously suffered abuse from the step dad.
The doc is told from Mike's point of view, but you have to step outside of it to see a bigger picture. He'd never admit his mom was a participant in the narrative, but she very clearly drove the family narrative.

Yeah, Mom was 100% complicit.

The footage at the end of the mom in the skeleton costume dancing in the basement where her husband was buried gave me the CREEPS.

Dang! I thought that was the garage. Was she literally dancing on his grave?
