Goodnight, Sugar Babe: The Killing of Vera Jo Reigle Trailers

The discovery of the mutilated body of a mentally challenged young mother begins a journey into madness that is so unbelievable the mastermind behind the crime ultimately got away with murder. Revealing for the first time how and why it happened filmmaker J. David Miles ventures into the insane mind of a small town crime family's matriarch and uncovers a conspiracy that continues to elude law enforcement to this very day. By going straight to the murderers themselves for interviews it is a true crime investigation like you have never seen, unveiling an alternate motive to what was presented in the courtroom that is as bizarre as it is heartbreaking.

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
tltaylr23 I rate it an eight because it is truly exposing of that side of life that no one really wants to admit exists. The uneducated, unhealthy, morally compromised, mentally challenged side of America. Whose problem is it really? Parental, societal, economic failure at it's best or at it's worse!?!
terryh1213 First, trying to get last all the people and their lack of oral hygiene, is hard enough. All these idiots involved in beating and raping and forcing this poor girl into being a salve, should be behind bars ! And that poor baby ! I hope some day Karma comes and bites that Cheri in the A$$ big time. Omg ..... so so so sad. And to RAPE A BABY !!?? I can't even ...... she should die the way that poor girl did. Except..... the train wouldn't miss her fat ass. Jeeeeeze.
mallory-carpenter This was one of the most infuriating documentaries I have ever watched. The entire cast of people interviewed in this film appear to be products of incest, rampant drug/sexual abuse, and mental illness. I had no idea people this creepy even existed, especially not in Ohio. I am a social worker with homeless people in a major southern city, and I have never witnesses anyone even remotely as grotesque and ultimately insane as these people. It was hard to look at and listen to these people. What really enraged me was that everyone knew exactly what was going to happen as Vera left the house the night of her death, and yet they just stood by and watched. Not to mention the many other incidents of abuse that they all watched Vera endure. I'm still not sure how all of these people were witnesses to some of the events that occurred and not charged with anything..seriously, how many people lived in that house? They all seem so aloof and most of them seem developmentally delayed. The entire family is revolting, and I don't understand why Cheri "sugar babe" is not in prison. Good film, but trashy people and disturbing events.
thompson1231 One of the best films I've ever watched. I've been a follower of Vera's horrible murder since it happened and hearing actual members of that family speak made it all so real. The anger they had, the mental state of everyone involved is outrageous. I'd love to see a part 2 with the rest of the interviews with these monsters. Justice for Vera!!!! Dave did more than make a film with this , he opened so many eyes in the community as to what kind of people lurk and are walking the streets. So many people still need charged in this girls murder and it's evident in the film during interviews there is so much more to be examined and investigated into the conspiracy as to why she was killed in such a manner and who really set it up as these 2 strangers who didn't even know her til days before her killing.
