omgosh! I was 3 episodes in when I realized Doug the victim was Doug the pedophile....nowbi need to start over. it's very odd to me that people describe him as a good, kind man but then they also all know he's been grooming and eventually married a 12y old....and also April's parents seems sooo terrible...i don't understand how they could both have so many concerns about Doug's attention on their daughter but then allow her to be alone with him.

Galesburg isn't across from the KY state line. It's located in NW IL closer to the IA border. just FYI on this location.
