Netflix’s latest true crime documentary, Abducted in Plain Sight, has continued the streaming platform’s success with the genre.
The Broberg family didn’t call the cops for several days out of fears they would upset Berchtold’s wife.
Consisting almost entirely of talking-head interviews with Broberg, alongside the four other members of the Broberg family, Berchtold’s brother, and an FBI agent assigned to the case, the documentary has picked up attention for the shocking, bizarre details of the case.
In 1974, Berchtold told the family he was taking Jan horseback riding but, in fact, held the 12-year-old hostage in his motor home, driving down to Mexico.
