Guardian
Viewers can form their own conclusions about McAfee's alleged connection to Faull's murder, the death of David Middleton and other aspects of his life. Burstein convincingly makes her case.

David Wiegand
San Francisco Chronicle
As a portrait of a deeply disturbed yet somehow socially acceptable figure, it's awfully compelling stuff.
