American Nightmare | Official Trailer | Netflix 

She was an angel

I found the part touching where she said that the reason she wanted to become a police officer was because she wanted to become voice for all of those SA survivors after her girlfriend was sexually assaulted.

@@kitcat2449 Definetly every cop should be like her! She needs a raise for everything she did

@@kitcat2449 It wasn't her girlfriend but a girl friend of hers. Just making small corrections nothing else hehe.

@@aea9420 Yeah and the rest of them should've been fired on the spot!!! But they are NOT and they keep on making the same horrible mistakes over and over again because they HATE their jobs, that's why they're so horrible!

I am suspicious that some of those policr officers and ex girlfriends might have been involved.. Ex military, solicitor, ex girlfriend's ex bf is the police officer in the case...so many suspicious situations

Right?! I’ve never heard of someone go so far out of their way to help prove their victim was right! clearly, he was mentally ill all the way around, but still it was crazy that the kidnapper had more empathy for his victims than the police force and media. Thank God for that detective Misty, who broke it all open. She’s the hero.

@@MerylMeralinmuzigi Ohh definitely. I just watched the documentary and here I'm not being able to sleep because of precisely that thought. I just can get it out of my mind and I'm sure there was much more to it. It was too shady.

​@@MerylMeralinmuzigiThat FBI Agent, David Sesma is fishy asf.

I think it has something to do with him being bi polar. Like when his sane side kicks in, he started to realize what he did was wrong hence he looking for a reason for police to find him and arrest his criminal side.

He said that to her MOM! Somehow that feels even worse!

@@purple0hairstreak oh was it the mom?! I’ll take your word for it! It is worse to say that to a freaking woman!!! 😡

That guy is a Neanderthal! Ignorant and misogynistic🤬 it is freaking SAD that there are so many people exactly like him and that they work in fields where they are supposed to protect, serve and care for others.... instead of being disciplined or at least educated and trained to do better in the future, they got officer of the year awards😤

Also that cop that asked the other lady if she was sure it wasn't just a dream and then went on to ask her boyfriend if she was an attention seeker!! That was 🤯

I almost puked when the end credits show that he got awarded as cop of the year in 2015

Yes the mustard bastard deserves to go to jail.

So true. But it's more laziness, corruptionness and evilness then dumbness... you could tell he's a sloppy detective!

Yep! He is one lazy detective. Ignorant and has an abhorrent personality. I can't even imagine the amount of people that he has hurt throughout his career.

We are living in a mans world

High school or GED to be a cop.

I gotta be honest just listening to his matter of fact way of talking does make him atleast seem like he's lying. He was straight up like my girlfriend was kidnapped last night in a dull voice no panic ,nothing.

I could’ve written this comment myself!

@@michellelowe7082we can’t under any circumstances blame or tone police people for how they respond to trauma, surely? Especially for situations we ourselves have thankfully never been in

Where do I watch this jk but I saw somebody seriously ask that question below

Police have a tough job to do, that includes investigating family and friends of people in these circumstances because in 99% of cases when a woman goes missing guess who's responsible? 1. Boyfriend. 2. Jealous third wheel friend.

Detective Mustard was his name. And that Special agent who lied about the lie detector test had me fuming

So glad Aaron didnt crack under pressure and asked for a lawyer

What galls me is when police coerce or scare people into confessing to crimes they didn't commit, it looks like they were going that route with Aaron but changed their minds.

I got even more angry when I found out he lied to him about the lie detector test and they could’ve found the suspect if they hadn’t turned his phone off and had traced the calls. I’m still fuming

Can we at least be honest and say Aaron is a cowardly little boy who had no idea how to ask for help or attempt to help himself in finding her? He wasn't emotional and gave the detective reasons to question him. Why are people acting like he isn't to blame for how long it too to find her is beyond me. He is not a man, he is an of age little boy. That woman needs a real man.

Thanks for the spoilers of the entire series for those of us who don't actually watch the news.

Thanks for the spoilers. Now I don’t get to watch it😐

@@CalvinHikesI hate that. They just ruined the whole series for me too. This also happened to me with Squid Game and The Sixth Sense. Smdh I hate it when they do that.

It would be wise to not read long, detailed comments if you want the mystery to remain.

It would be wide to no read long detailed comments if you want the mystery to remain.

Yep

There's no murder without a body. The case wouldn't have stood in court.

@@chavervavachanit still would have taken a huge hit on his reputation. There was a kidnapping/murder in my home town where no body was found for yeeeeaaars. (Brittanie Drexel, Myrtle Beach). They hadn’t found a body but had a suspect that they claimed had disposed of it and they just stopped looking afterwards. They broke him down into giving a coerced confession, and ruined his and his family’s reputation for years until the real murderer was caught.

What happened at the end?

I haven't watched it yet, but if anything, we should never talk to the police without a lawyer because they assume everyone is guilty and will make us miserable to prove it.

Ironically, Gone Girl criticize exactly this!

@@dietman Spoiler alert They found the kidnaper who admits everything and now serving 40 y in prison. The victims held press conference and said "we told you so!" to everyone. They sued the police and got over 2 milion, got merryed and now have two daughters. Happy ending, thank God!

I continue to be intrigued by the methodology and the quick way of judging by justice departments around the world. I am aware that all beings in this world have changed/evolved... especially in the media issue... this Documentary only proves to what extent we are capable of overriding all our values ​​and instincts, to appease/please a large audience... Reality will always surpass any fiction………

That’s what I learned from this doc as well! This couple were so sweet and innocent. They actually believed that the cops were there to help them. They learned their lesson the hard way.

Exactly. My sob of a father was a cop and almost certainly committed more crimes than probably half the people he arrested tbh

THANK YOU!!! Ive been saying this and telling everyone who listens this EXACT THING....LAWYER UP DUMMIES!!!!

It's a shame we put people of certain professions on pedestals; what people don't get is "police are as human as everyone else and just as capable of wrongdoing," physicians too🙄

Yep! NEVER EVER EVER talk to the police without a lawyer no matter how innocent you are. Witnessed something like this also. Not this same situation but police lying and actually making things up. If they already have something they think, they don't want to be wrong and look bad. Doesn't matter what the truth is. That's not for all of them but some and how do you know which ones are ok?

The officers were bullying and abusing crime victims in order to break them. It’s beyond sick. It’s criminal.

@@s.j.bluewater908makes you wonder what else they’ve been up to

The FBI answers to no one, they are a rogue organization now going after political dissidents, its a disgrace on our Nation.

I know right. protect and serve my ass! no empathy for the victims no police work, just ego driven maniacs!

Yeah they should've focused on the evidence more and not based on their own beliefs. And the fact that they lied to Aaron in the interrigation wtf was that. How can they do that? Those investigators shouldn't get away so easily😡

@@aea9420 agreed! And get an award of commendation for good police work for that year? And not a conflict of interest that the ex girlfriends ex-boyfriend is involved in the case and he’s happy to dismiss it? There is a lot of issues there. It’s amazing and so miraculous that a cop from another county actually took the time to look into it otherwise it would’ve never broke open for them and they could’ve swept it under the rug and more people could’ve been hurt. Hope this documentary helps clean up that department by embarrassing them in their incompetence.

The officers feel no shame. Mustard got an award that year and 2 promotions so far.

Skewed morals? He r*ped Denise. Let’s not excuse him just because the police utterly failed her too.

That is simply heartbreaking that after being kidnapped, assaulted and feared for her life when she finally made it out of that situation instead of being met with kindness and helped or even just doing their job, the police further victimized her! They put her thru so much emotional distress and public humiliation😭

Skewed morals? Wow, apologist much.

Or idk maybe, QUIT BREAKING THE LAW ASSHOLE

Yep definitely the 2.5 million they got was too little for everything the police put then thru. I hope they make a lot of money out of this documentary! It sends a very important message out to the public too.

Not all cops are evil. Geez get with it please people! You may need them one day.

​@@eileensianez6766Not all as evidenced by the detective that linked Muller to Denise's case but there's no denying there were a lot of police and fbi doing a shockingly bad job together.

​@@eileensianez6766 Ya that's what Aaron thought too .

A cop DID save them in the end.

Yea I thought that was going to be a string in the case that would be unraveled, but it seemed to just be a coincidence.

Exactly there was no clear answer on why she was the target and what a coincidence that the ex bf of Andrea is leading the case, and of course Muller didn't do this solo because he even said himself his associates aren't as nice as him

The bitch is lying period. Y’all some real sheep out here

I agree, I think there is more to this. Denise said her attacker was talking and arguing with people while she was kidnapped so Muller definitely had accomplices. I really hope Denise & Aaron stay safe

I agree. This is deeper

Those officers should have been demoted or sacked for not doing their job properly. Expediency over truth.

They did a great job making this. Filmed and edited very well.

the police completely screwed up this investigation at first and had to settle with the couple for 2.5 mil year later. so their beliefs were wrong lmao

@Unknown2577 yes which was my point.

Scary thought. Your guilty until proven that you didn’t stage the awful crime you’re reporting.

well, ya! But how many went South? It is a mixed bag at best but eventually, the truth comes out until it never does!! Guess how many missing people and murders that were never solved? Hundreds? More like thousands! No smart remarks are needed here-

no way, u dont say !!!!?? IQ 5000

Always is these days.

Mr Ballen 👌🏼

Great Bad Religion song!

“Sometimes”??? I’d say all the time!

Most of the time I would say. That’s why documentaries are so much more fascinating.

I mean the police have been known to mishandle anything with rape including those of their female officers and done by each other

Yeah, that part got me raising my eyebrows because yes, while some people become hypersexual after a trauma like that, it's not thrill. It's an unhealthy coping mechanism to handle the past situation with 'control' or straight up self-harm.

That was creepy af.

I'm pretty sure they make it for everyone

I agree 👍

that's really dumb, netflix MH370 is debunked and already blacklisted as promoting conspiracy theory...

absolutely

Nah, it's all the same shitty format, luke warm information, showing text conversations on the screen, and person being interviewed in the same format as the white underbelly. Dumbed down for mass viewers... Once you've watched one, you've watched them all.

Sesma may be in on this. That’s why they never went further into the investigation. The rapist will be out in 20 years or less… very suspect

Woahhhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhh

😹😭🤣🤣

Same thing I was thinking, too.

😂😂😂😂

Was gonna say

I think the same..some of those police officers might be those 2nd 3rd and 4th person...ex gf and her police officer friend in the case trying to slam them must be in it according to this documentary

Right?! Thought the same

@@MerylMeralinmuzigi I was thinking the exact same thing pretty much immediately!

The police aren’t even disciplined! WTF

Exactly. Misty is an awesome cop to follow through on evidence and actually did real police work instead of trying to sweep it under the rug for the boys club. So many weird things like the FBI agent, being the ex girlfriends ex-boyfriend and so many similar cases in the same area, I mean it seems like it was a no-brainer with the smallest amount of police work to solve the crime could have saved her from being SA’d. He had help and they were never found so that makes one suspicious of that help, if he was ex military and a lot of cops are, that might be why they needed this to go away. I’m so glad Netflix, put this out for the world to see.

So if the evidence doesn’t fit their theory or the crime they will make it fit. That’s what I got.

It was such a great documentary and at first, I could understand why the police believed the story was too far-fetched, but why couldn’t they investigate the BF, and at the same time investigate the crime by leaving his phone on to see if he was telling the truth? What a crazy situation for these people I’m so glad the truth came out in the end for them. And I’m sorry you had to experience something similar at the hands of incompetent and nasty police. I hope you’re OK.

It’s spelled bawling

Police are often horrible to anyone who isn't wearing a badge & gun... but more especially if they suspect you committed a crime... to them, you're already guilty, and its their job to prove it... not to find out if you're guilty, because to them you're guilty... it's all about getting the conviction. Sadly, this approach has ruined countless lives, and put many people in prison who were innocent. And before some internet troll or MAGA cultists say anything, let me clarify I'm a former officer, as was my mother, uncle, bro-in-law, and like 50 friends. So unlike many, I have first-hand experience and have seen how officers go after people, before all the evidence is even discovered. The worst part is, even after many are found innocent, the officers will double-down, instead of admitting they made a mistake.

I heard a podcast feature on this story and it was shocking!

They way the police said that the victim and her boyfiend OWED the town and the police an APOLOGY ? Baffling.

armaonducles, Is this the case were the young lady was actually kidnapped and the police dropped the ball?

@@mananimal3644 Yes

Same

AlicePearlJam, Is this the case where the young lady was actually kidnapped and everyone dropped d the ball?

@@mananimal3644 yes it is and it took six years for Vallejo police to apologize to them for calling them liars during their investigation.

You sick clown. Sounds like you wanted to see the video

I suspect the camera was a prop. Like the water guns and lasers taped. The FBI (Sesma) - Andrea connection is beyond suspicious. Aaron was upset they closed case and not looking for others.

Also he said he got an email….. they seem to just forget stuff for plot convinience….. ended up not liking that guy….. leading the ex on while dating the other chick….

same thoughts. the camera, the e-mail, the red tapes on the carpet.. like what is it for?

Police ripped the camera off the wall. They didn't check where the email came from because they thought Aaron is lying. There is his interrogation video on YT. I watched it before this documentary.

That’s very very wrong

The truest example of laziness and stupidity. Imagine how many other people have suffered via the ignorance of Mat Mustard. This was just one case… he’s probably ruined all kinds of lives. He’s the same as a criminal.

Same 😅

Lmao chill. That bitch guilty af

Hmm not really

Turn off the TV and Hollywood, honey.

Imagine other victims who didn’t get lucky like Denise. The victim would have been dead and the significant other in jail. So sad and so frustrating

What happened? Who did it? I am from Greece and we don’t know the case

Put it in your watchlist notifications and it’ll remind you when it drops

7 days

It comes out tonight at 12 AM Eastern Time

@@187mrsmith That's tomorrow, 12AM Wednesday 🙂

I agree! i am a huge true crime documentaries buff but honestly none of them seem as enthralling as those of Netflix. Also heard this one is made by the same people who made Tinder Swindler, which is again one of my favorites! So exciteddd

I'll look it up on RU-vid and watch it for nothing LOL

How much is Netflix paying you to say all that nice stuff?

because he has been stalking andrea in that area when she was still with aaron, and maybe he's attracted to her... so he kidnapped denise thinking it was still andrea.

​@migosaur yeah but what was also weird that I'm still trying to figure out is the FBI Agent that was also involved in the case was the ex bf of Andrea the attorney of Aaron & Denise said hes a conflict of interest but they still let him do the case, he could've potentially hired Muller because Muller even said he was involved in the Black Market sooo idk 🤷🏻‍♀️

The kidnapper learns about his victims. That makes sense in terms of “clean” work. He probably targeted Andrea for months and when it was time to commit the crime Aaron had broken up with Andrea and got a new girlfriend.

Is it the movie gone girl?

@@xzyby26 No

@@xzyby26No, but the story is very similar but with a hell of a twist at the end, which is not given away in the trailer.

I thought this about the woman that faked her kidnapping to sleep with her lover and then comes back avoiding it was 2 Hispanic women that kidnapped her

@@antoniozavala8197me too

BS every case shud be taken seriously !!!

Exactly

Yes

Yesss!!!

I 👍

agreed that’s probably the only good thing they put out netflix is extremely overrated

@@CC-bz6rd or maybe you're all just whiney babies

Muller obviously stalked his victims before acting out his plans. He always knew his victims’ names. Unfortunately, Denise became Aaron’s gf when Muller was ready to kidnap Andrea.

great theory

I love Ballen! Sunday can never get here fast enough! 😊

@@b-dub6865 Haha I always watch his videos on Fridays after work while I work out, and it drives my husband crazy because the stories are almost always so depressing, but sometimes the stories catch his interest, and this one was one of them. ;)

Got the link to his video ? 👀

I have the same questions

He went through the mail

Me too, but very angry and furious with the FBI because they lied when they said that they discovered, because the real HERO was a women from at small town

They are now referred to as the Pendejo Police Department. 😂😂

Yeah that's the thing, in the beginning you're seriously questioning her story partly since she seems so well put together but mostly because the story sounds awfully convenient, everything from the kidnappers dropping her off at her parent's house to the kidnappers writing letters to the media saying she's not lying. I can definitely understand the police guessing it might be a hoax, especially since there ARE people who do this for attention. All that being said though - that's why it is part of the police's JOB to be open-minded and not have pre-conceived notions. Even if I have some understanding for them privately side-eyeing the case in the beginning this should never have impacted their professional work - and they should have followed these leads and investigated this case to the best of their ability. They didn't even do the bare minimum and there's no excuses for that!

@@mieroth I totally thought both of them were making everything up. They just sounded so weird and rehearsed. Just goes to show you can never judge a book by its cover. 😬

I thought they were full of it till the nearly end of the documentary. Not because I’m a heartless person but because middle class white women fake SA stories just to get their ex in trouble.

Not Canada Netflix …

what was the truth?

@@rufuspipemos Google them or watch the documentary.

@@rufuspipemos​​⁠​⁠​⁠The husband and wife were telling the truth the whole time. She really was kidnapped by a man wearing a wet suit. The police didn’t believe her at all for a long time. The kidnapper’s name is Matthew Muller. He is serving 31 years in prison and was sentenced in 2022. This kidnapping and assault occurred in 2015.

@@rufuspipemosThat Vallejo police were TERRIBLY incompetent.

U mean this "🔩"?

@@suchismitasatapathy5495No. He means 🥜

I have the same question

I’m sure Social media or the fact that he was a window creeper.

Yeah…. What was up with the mounted camera and the email the dude got….

Yeah that FBI Agent Sema is definitely very fishy what a coincidence that he would be on the case of something that could've potentially happened to his ex gf, and imagine all the other people like Muller who are probably smarter than him doing the exact same stuff who haven't been caught, because in one the emails he said 2 out 3 were college educated, so basically these people live double lives

😂😂😂😂

Exactly

I can live with you not being here….

Oh stop. America ain’t that bad

U and me both,I love stuff like this,I might sound like a psychopath too😮

There's nothing psychotic about curiousity

Well, we'll be psychos together because I'm clicking the notification for this on Netflix ASAP🫣😂

No you‘re not 😉

Oh wow

Was it Victor Sibson from Anchorage Alaska? I just googled the story and came across him, but I think he’s still alive and in prison. He was attempting suicide when he shot himself in the head and it went through and hit and killed her.

That was a good one !!

@@Ephesians1.7 I think he’s talking about Ryan Waller story.
