Overview

• Former Isabella County prosecutor David Barberi said the film downplays the toll on families and revealed police found a hidden phone when confronting Licari, describing her reaction as strikingly cold.
• Barberi questioned Licari’s stated trauma explanation and said prosecutors viewed her conduct as a bid for control with possible Munchausen‑by‑proxy‑like elements.
• Licensed psychologist Dr. McKayla argued the behavior reflects narcissistic control with Munchausen‑style tactics and criticized the documentary’s lack of psychological expertise.
• Coverage also reexamines how classmate Khloe Wilson was wrongly suspected before the FBI identified Licari, with Wilson’s parents detailing the fallout.
• Licari remains on supervised parole through February 2026 with a no‑contact condition toward her daughter, who graduated in 2025 and now lives with her father.
