Girl in the Picture (2022)

A child is placed in foster care after his mother is killed in a hit-and-run. His father is discovered to have no DNA claim to him and loses visiting privileges, so he kidnaps the kid from school. The ensuing investigation uncovers several false names for both the man and his dead wife. And that's just the tip of it! But, somehow, this documentary weaves all of the threads into a cohesive whole.  

It's well-crafted but stays away from sensationalism. The revelations about who the young woman was are the most affecting parts. To hear how fondly all of those in her life speak about her and the positive presence she was despite the ugly circumstances of her life was absolutely inspirational.
