![]() ![]() In previous episodes, Black Bird explores Hall’s early years, highlighting the unusual childhood job he had of digging graves with his father - to steal from the dead. ![]() Keene describes how he was able to get Hall to admit to burying Reitler’s body “way out in the country.” In the series, we see how Hall eerily describes how Reitler’s grave was the “best grave” he ever dug. While we may tend to focus on the psychology and mind of the killer himself, it is important to remember victims like Jessica Roach as full and complete people who had their whole lives ahead of them, which Black Bird expresses in a poetic, dream-like sequence that effectively reinforces the sheer brutality of Hall’s crimes.Īccording to his memoir, Keene was additionally tasked with finding out about the murder of another missing young woman, Tricia Reitler. Something else that the series manages to capture in a particularly poignant way is Jessica Roach’s life before becoming just another of Hall’s victims. ![]()
