Watchlist Wednesday- Abducted in Plain Sight
Some documentaries leave you disturbed. Abducted in Plain Sight leaves you staring at your screen, whispering “What the hell did I just watch?”—and then rewinding to make sure you actually heard that right.
Released in 2017 and streaming on Netflix, this jaw-dropping documentary tells the story of Jan Broberg, who was kidnapped twice in the 1970s by her neighbor and family friend, Robert Berchtold. But “kidnapped” doesn’t begin to cover it. Berchtold didn’t just groom Jan—he manipulated her entire family with such eerie ease, it feels like psychological warfare. We’re talking aliens, seduction, blackmail, and one of the most bizarre cases of familial denial you’ll ever witness.
It’s not just the crime that’s shocking—it’s the trust, the complicity, the complete collapse of boundaries. And the way it's told? Calm, matter-of-fact… and more terrifying for it.
