This is great that you have consolidated this information into a single list. Hopefully it will encourage more interest in the case and will bring folks to understand that what happened to these guys could happen to anyone.
You may also want to add the "Paradise Lost" films to your list. HBO did a great job with them, and the final one is due out in early 2012.
