INTO THE FIRE | WHAT HAPPENED TO AUNDRIA BOWMAN?

[@HaliJinX]

This doc made me cry. It was so well done. The end with the ashes just choked me. I would have broken into that woman’s house and gotten then rest of my baby. That woman Brenda is out of her mind! And should also be held accountable. She’s responsible too. Smh

[@IraRochaa]

Exactly

[@AnaTT-le3ns]

Gosh! Couldn’t stop crying watching this. What an amazing documentary, the tenacity of Cathy and the heartless of Brenda.

[@littlebabybear22]

I was so pissed that Cathy only got half of her ashes. That note and the phone call was such a slap in the face. He’s like well she threw her away first. Like she was literally only trash to Dennis and Brenda. I was like I’d break into her house and take them lol. She doesn’t deserve to even be called a mother for what she did and how complacent she is in the whole situation. She should go to jail herself.

[@Vick77777]

The wife should get prison time. She knew and said nothing to the police.

[@jlew1982]

She was the craziest one in the whole show imo.

[@IraRochaa]

Exactly and she still supporting her husband

[@sharonbeautyforgooddotnet]

I can’t help but wonder how these people were approved as potential adopters. I can’t recall when his first conviction was… and how the school, minister, and authorities all failed her.

[@AbbieGirl46]

Back in the day it wasn’t as clean cut. A young white couple want a baby, no background checks or DNA needed.

[@wyldecitrus_333]

@@AbbieGirl46still happens, the amount of international adoptions that are just trafficking... 😢

[@Emmylovesmakeup12]

I'm so happy you liked it. The mother was just as much to blame as the Dad. So sad

[@Chelseabee55]

Absolutely. I can’t imagine standing by a man after abusing a woman/girl. The bio mother was an incredible advocate

[@stephaniecruz3164]

When I say this documentary pissed me off, that's no exaggeration. Just knowing that if that man had been kept locked up/held accountable, the other girls/women would be alive and not traumatized- it is infuriating.

[@Goldie_jku]

The plot twist at the end of episode 1 was crazy. I wasnt expecting that! The step mom pissed me off to no end! She was absolutely ridiculous.

[@makeupbyjules]

Watched this documentary with my best friend last weekend and it was really well done but the story is so disturbing it really upset me! I can't believe I never heard it before...

[@sunfyrewoman]

this was an excellent doc! i honestly thought at first that the little sister was going to to be revealed as Aundrias because of something 1 of the parents said, something like " why would you leave when you've got a baby at home?" but after watching the whole thing, i think it just goes to show how much Aundria loved and took care of her little sister

[@stacyhernandez7338]

Brenda was complicit in Aundria’s abuse. Obviously no woman wants to believe their husband could SA their adopted daughter but he went to jail in 1980 for assaulting an 18 year old. Right then and there her devotion to him should’ve stopped. I don’t think she cared that much about Aundria especially after she had her daughter. All the abuse that the friends witnessed that Brenda was there and saw, she is complicit in not protecting Aundria. Thank goodness Cathy got on the case.

[@alexagolden9172]

This one was so good and so infuriating. I’ll never understand the wife. Insane.

[@merylbergraaf2458]

This is THE BEST crime doc I have ever seen and I watch everything.. thanks 5 talking about it 🙌🏽🙌🏽... The twists, the intrigues, the debt of life that is told,, truly award winning

[@wahinepaddler4]

Metta at 6yo did a composite sketch of the guy who kidnapped her and SA'd her.. 6yo 🥺 I was so sad for her. But im happy she has Kathy in her life.

[@carrieo8677]

This was one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen. It’s up there with the Jinx for me. It is so sad to me that Kathy was pressured to give her baby up for adoption by her own mother. That is her granddaughter! This documentary was so well done and Kathy is an amazing Mom!!

[@tiffanyrichardson2538]

This was an incredible documentary. Dennis is a real disgusting piece of work, and so is his wife Brenda. Her loyalty to him is like no other. We quickly seen the person he becomes when he attacks these women and girls when Brenda knows everything. His demeanour towards her changes so fast like a switch. Aundrie’s biological Mother is so fierce and exactly what a real Mum is, she is incredible.

[@BeliiSpii]

7:43 This is when he starts talking about the documentary.

[@wahinepaddler4]

Makes me wish I scrolled the comments sooner and quicker 😂

[@Carolyn111000]

This was a nail biter! Didn’t move off the couch once.

[@PeytonCollum]

Have you seen relentless on MAX. It is a docuseries on a missing woman from Missouri where after two years working with the family the filmmaker starts suspecting the family is hiding something.

[@amyparks2357]

A mothers intuition is a real thing I believe that wholeheartedly. ❤ I loved Cathy’s determination to find HER baby ❤

[@sarazapp936]

My blood was boiling through most of this. I absolutely loved bio mom. I hope it wins awards because it deserves it, Alexis’s story can be heard, and what those evil people did can be known as well.

[@maggiechurch19]

I just finished it and had to see what you thought. I am the same when it comes to true crime documentaries, having interviews and including people affected by the crimes of this monster. As with everyone else, I found myself in tears by the end. Cathy’s determination is relentless and because of this, the police were able to solve the case in Va as well as his other crimes against women.

[@WickedChristian]

Literally every time Brenda quotes her, she uses a mocking tone. You wouldn't do that if you weren't victim blaming in your head the entire time. You wouldn't do that if you only held love and concern for your child. She created that narrative to allow herself to ignore what was happening. I know, because it happened to my wife. Parents create "lazy, disrespectful, stupid" narratives about their children, to excuse their abuse, neglect or to have disdain for their children.

[@jessieessex]

I loved when Cathy declared to know the mind of Dennis Bowman. She said, “He thinks he owns her…”, because I knew she went straight into the mind of that man and sussed him out. I also loved when she said that anger doesn’t need to be fed. She is a force to be reckoned with.

[@debrad.8532]

I stopped Peter's video to watch this. OMG!!!! This show is fantastic. So many twists and turns. The truth really is stranger than fiction.

[@Missditabomb]

He has way more victims. Glad the murderer did not get to stay in Michigan. His whiney games didn't work THAT time.

[@chadubben3931]

Such a great documentary, such a unique story. For awhile I was kind of giving Brenda the benefit of the doubt because she seemed like she needed deep therapy, I mean that’s got to be traumatizing to be married to that man. But by the end of the documentary, she’s just a really pathetic person, like she doesn’t need therapy to know right from wrong. Cathy is amazing, truly amazing.

[@AprilShowers73]

It was very good! Those twists, though! WOW! didn't see them coming! Very well done!

[@myteadied1916]

Wow 💔 the birth mother is a wonderful mother to her daughter. The daughter went through Hell, and i hope her spirit knows now that she had always been fiercely loved and thought of and dreamed about by her mama.

[@ashleyann7669]

the ending made me cry! excited for this video 💗

[@vickimanager]

Sadly, I immediately suspected the father. :(

[@wahinepaddler4]

When they introduced Metta and when she made contact with Kathy I was like.. it was the dad wasn't it 🫣

[@babydoll1020]

I believe Vanessa Brenda’s daughter is really Aundria (Alexis) Daughter and that’s what she was trying to runaway

[@Angel-kf4sg]

I watched this last night, it was so sad, he was insane and his wife was too standing by him. I got the impression he was an habitual liar and very controlling. And I honestly couldn’t believe his wife stood by him. That poor girl and real mother, the adoptive mother should never have got to keep half the ashes after what she and her husband did

[@wahinepaddler4]

Kathy is like the Erin Brockovich of unsolved crimes.

[@LucindaR]

*adds to list* Recommendation: The Old Man. Not a true crime. On Hulu. The second season just started.

[@Angee2009]

I absolutely fell in love with this woman. A boomer woman with a voice is my new favorite thing. Being the daughter of boomers and being told your whole like to “be a good girl” and shammed for every opinion you have that didn't go with the flow really sucked. To see this woman fight and ruffle feathers was therapy for me. God bless her and Aundria.

[@ShinyGolduck5]

From what I understood Cathy didn't give her up willingly, she was sort off duped by the system, f Brenda and Dennis, May Alexis Rest in Peace.

[@RanniMoonbeam]

I found the 1st episode the most triggering thing I've ever watched. I had to keep stopping it. I was angered at the adoptive mom "sharing" the ashes. It wasn't meant as a nice gesture, I think. It was controlling, a judgement, last jab kind of thing. The documentary though, wow. Superbly done!

[@momzillainnova]

I just finished it this morning. Holy shit. Dividing her remains ? I feel like that wasnt the sweet gesture they pretended it was. I feel like it was the last word and the last Eff U to this poor woman. DISGUSTING.

[@sefe428]

Just finished watching this. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!❤

[@Vick77777]

How tragic and unimaginable.

[@Goldie_jku]

OmG peter! You need to watch Love you to death: where's mommy? Its on Tubi!

[@adrianna94]

I was waiting for you to upload this! I watched it as soon as it dropped!! Watching now hehe, comment first 🎉

[@ItsKenleyBaby]

I'm so glad I went and watched this Today OMG IT WAS SO GOOD!.. & couldn't be more happier that JUSTICE WAS SERVED!.. It could never replace or help Cathy pain but I'm so happy for her

[@sophieMsophie]

It’s also made by the same guy who made The Keepers! I’d love for you to go back and watch that show and do a video about it.

[@aZombieExtra]

I watched it before you mentioned it. Cathy is a fearless woman. Brenda needs therapy

[@aZombieExtra]

Because *

[@fashingrl]

This show was sooooooo good! Stop what you are doing and watch! 😊

[@erin2318]

Oooh I clicked so fast!!! Been waiting for this one 💙💙💙

[@stephaniewasson7221]

That wife made me sick

[@wahinepaddler4]

It was very well done.. it wasnt filled with repetitive fluff and it pulled you along the story line very clearly. They interviewed everyone that brought good value to the documentary it wasnt the reporters just retelling the story 😴 The adoptive mom was delulu.. how much she stood beside the killer/rapist husband is 😮 Kudos to the detectives who pick up cold cases, who reenters evidence into forensics to get the info needed to catch the killers..

[@DtotheJtotheF]

I was hoping you’d review this

[@teresal9833]

Just finished the second episode last night, and I couldn’t believe his wife and bio daughter were still supporting and visiting him in jail! 🙈 Cathy should definitely have been given all of her daughter’s ashes. 😢

[@heathertapper-gq6pk]

@peter shes not their daughter shes cathys daughter

[@mjllw2000]

Brenda is an evil witch! It’s makes me so sad because Kathy would’ve been a brilliant mother to Alexis!

[@kerriann7466]

The adopted mother was disgusting. She should get charges also.

[@pamarama247]

I WAS SCREAMING IT TURNS OUT THE BIO MOTHER WAS RIGHT THE WHOLE TIME

[@IraRochaa]

The fact that her adoptive mother gave HALF of Alexis ashes to her biological mom and was acting like she did her a favor when her effin sick husband molested and k!lled her is so heartbreaking…

[@heathertapper-gq6pk]

The school DCFS the adoptive mother failed her

[@heathertapper-gq6pk]

@ peter the birth mothers mother manipulated her into doing it because the birth mothers mother was abusive

[@heathertapper-gq6pk]

Forcing her to give the baby up I mean

[@jackiegarcia4742]

This pissed me off on so many levels. Then fact that they gave the remains to the other monster( Brenda) who never protected her or believed her is disgusting to me. I wanted to crawl through the tv. They victimized her til the end. When that monster said she threw her away I lost it. Brenda is just as low as him; just as sick. She knew he was molesting Alexis. She knew he beat her for God’s sakes. Her true mother solved this case and she deserved to have her daughter back.
