    This is a highly disturbing documentary of a girl whose life was meaningful while in the clutches of pure evil. It makes you think, how can this happen?

    The story is well told with plot twists, drama and an ending that brings it all back together. If your fascination is for true crime stories, this is a good one to watch. It is told more through the victims narrative than the criminal who truly destroyed lives.

    I really did not expect this to capture my attention as well as it did. It can invoke many emotions while making one wonder, how can this possibly happen right under the noses of so many people?

    Pure Evil!!
    The documentary "Girl in the picture" is a truly horrifying story. As a society, everything and everyone failed in the life of this girl who in the short 20 years of her life was used, abused, exploited, molested, and murdered, both mentally and sexually without nobody noticing it. Our mentality that "poke one's nose into" or "it's none of my business..." in what happens at my neighbor's or friends' house encourages this type of atrocities to happen, see Jeffrey Dahmer's case as well. Often these victims are begging for help and we turn our heads the other way.

    Suzanne/Tonya's tragic life story is simply shocking and sad, the dream of this ordinary 20-year-old girl was to become an aeronautical engineer, and when her dream came true with a full scholarship at Georgia Tech, her life is one more time "run over" by the despicable and monstrous creature that sadistically destroys her life. This documentary is often hard to watch and also hard to witness what this girl went through in life. When we think we have already witnessed all kinds of evil that humanity is capable of, a monster appears in the form of a man and takes advantage of the child's innocence and her entire future.

    I believe she is now peace alongside her Michael.

    They did her justice with this documentary it was well put together and really captured who she was and gave her the closure she needed by telling her story since her voice was stolen from her.

    Why God! Why! You let her Die! It made me Cry!
    It is so beautifully told and you connect with the character so deeply that somewhere you think, why were you not there to get her away from her fate. Why god is so cruel in her case, why couldn't he save her. She was going to be one of the most decorated person of the society, maybe the whole US. But that was not meant to be I cried last whole half an hour for her. It's bone chilling and that adds up to the chill when these things actually happened. I mean they say rightly that, truth can be stranger than fiction and in this case it is so very true. We fail as a society that we see things and do not even try to intervene until it's too late...this film made us feel like that. World is a very big place, we cannot take care of the whole world, but we can start within our surroundings, with our neighbours, our friends, even within our families and gradually world can become a better place if we try at least.
