The title was a reference to the health food store that Robert opened in Vermont in the 70s, and the store traced the couple's relationship from their meeting in the early 70s to her disappearance in 1982. Oh.

However, the fictional version of the story fills in the ending, where the real account remained unresolved, including the Manhattan DA's reopening of the case after reading a novel from David Mark's best friend. That's like in that film. Oh.

But there was one viewer who was particularly impressed with the movie and called Andrew Jarecki to tell him as much. Don't even tell me. According to Jarecki, after seeing the film, Robert Durst called the director to share his appreciation of what he believed was an even-handed account of his life. Christ almighty.
