Before American Murder was released, filmmakers Julia Willoughby Nason and Michael Gasparro exclusively spoke to Us Weekly about trying to get in contact with Roberta and Christopher.
âWe did reach out to his family. Itâs hard to open up about this [topic] for that side of the family. So we made best efforts to reach out to them,â Nason noted while Gasparro added, âWe reached out to the family, to their lawyer and to Brianâs sister.
