A fourth came much later and seems possibly a copycat - it's angrier, Wiedeman says, and more focused on the Broaddus family's hopes to tear down the house and build two on its large lot. There were three letters threatening the new owners. Reeves Wiedeman, the New York Magazine reporter whose story is the basis for the series, talked about them to New York's Vulture.

None of that happened, and no one knows who The Watcher is, or why they did what they did. ![]() The family learns at Theodora's funeral that she just made this up to give them some closure. First, the show invents a private detective, Theodora Birch (Noma Dumezweni), and has her confess to being The Watcher on her deathbed.
