Crime documentary discussion thread

Watching catching my stalker too - what an absolute nutter! The police when they came round after he broken in, questioning if he’d actually got inside when her house was turned upside down?!

Just finished watching The Crash - not seen/read anything about this before. How delusional are her parents. Wasn’t expecting Mackenzie to be on it -no remorse at all. Absolutely awful what she did

The Vanishing of Debbie Griggs on Sky. Gobsmacking.

I was very angry watching this because the second wife is willfully ignorant and in deep denial and just incredibly thick.

The 'american murder' strand on netflix is very good. I watched the documentaries on Gabby Petito, Shannon Watts and Laci Peterson and they were really well done!

What was so interesting about “Unknown Caller” was the impact this has on the small town and friendship groups. The big reveal at the end was so shocking. The perpetrator seemed so normal but deep down was a cold hearted psychopath.

(Very hard to write that without giving the end away)

Some, infact A LOT, of what part time working mummy posts on her insta & private Patreon isn't too dissimilar to this story.

Her children have been incredibly exposed & are constantly rewarded with money & goods. It's wild the things we know but shouldn't about them all.

Has anyone watched-

"Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal"

Netflix

I watched the other night too and OMG, that girl deserves all she gets. She deffo crashed on purpose. I also thought I heard them say that she was 16 at the time of the crash and she'd been with Dom for 3 years, so when they got together she was 13 and he was 17? What the hell were her parents thinking allowing that to happen?

The life and death row documentaries on iplayer are really good.

I watch a lot of true crime but not really documentaries - mainly week on week series to be honest, via a guy who uploads all the latest stuff to a Russian website #iykykaiydkgtk My favs are Cold Justice, The First 48, Dateline, 48 Hours, On The Case with Paula Zahn, See No Evil/Murder on CCTV plus loads more.

But I have just finished the new Sky three part documentary Death of a Showjumper. I don't follow cases in Northern Ireland but I was aware of this one. Worth a watch.

Whilst I'm here, I'd also highly recommend the Murder Trial series available on BBC iPlayer. There's five of them in total (so far) and they all feature real court footage in Scotland, where they are allowed to film, along with interviews with the families, barristers, judges etc. I highly approve of this approach - edited highlights after verdict.

No doubt I'll be back!

Another vote for murder on cctv and The Murder Trials . I like that they do show you the back story of how it all came to court and been pieced together, as well as the trial!
Another one I like is Accused: Innocent or Guilty? It’s American, and they show the person accused of the crime, the police investigation and the court proceedings, but some of the episodes really do have some surprises in there. It’s on channel 5 and prime.

 

[What's your point]

Just watched the new 2 part series on Netflix about The Fox (serial rapist and burglar from the 80s) one of my earliest memories is him carrying out an attack local to where I grew up and being absolutely terrified because my dad was screwing windows shut and barricading doors.

Both of the Rachel Nickell documentaries/ docu- series are so utterly heartbreaking, iv never stopped crying watching them. What Alex and Andre endured was simply harrowing.

I watched this earlier and can't stop thinking about it. Those poor kids. They had that community where their families knew each other, they all played with each other and grew up together and then just like that it ended. That happy life they all had and that poor family lost their mother. Over one stupid, nasty, vicious, racist woman. Surely she would have gone to see the place before she moved there? Why did she choose to stay so long. Another person with perhaps a child could have moved in there and been happy.
The fact she didn't care whatsoever and was more concerned about being cold or whatever during her interviews or being nonchalant or bringing it back to herself just made me so angry.
I saw on the other crime threads, someone posted an article that her sister (the one helping her move with the little boy) was done for child neglect as well. What wonderful woman they are!!

Just watching..
The Evil Influencer on Netflix

I've added an extract of an article, from one of the now adult children too

 

[Not Now Bernard]

I’ve just watched The Perfect Neighbor on Netflix. Highly recommended.

I really wish they hadn’t included the moment when the dad told the children. I really felt that this should have been a private moment.
Very upsetting.
I’ve had a similar neighbour and you can’t do right for doing wrong. Thankfully she’s left and been replaced by a nice young couple.

 

[Moon Face]

I’ve just watched The Perfect Neighbor on Netflix. Highly recommended.

Yes, on my to watch list.

I've just started on "Little Miss Innocent" on Disney about Kaitlyn Conley, my 13 year old daughter wandered in and remarked "Are you watching these to learn how to be a serial killer?"

[Nope, that would be the podcasts in the car]

 

[2ofeach]

Thanks for the tip of 'the perfect neighbour'.... fucking hell Susan!
What an absolute pain in the ass, moaning about shit she had no skin in.
I shed a tear or 2....

 

[RaveChampion]

Well I've learned Fred Dineage is still alive today.
It's Monday and I'm thankful for small mercies.

 

[Crumpet41]

I think she wants the attention & that is a reason for the netflix show. Stress? What about the poor deceased man’s family? How must they feel with her being filmed? She has changed how she looks & has had an upgrade. All for show.

Not one l’ll be watching.

I agree that the cyclist should have been the focus - ultimately he is the one who lost his life . Prob not as dramatic for Netflix though .. at least the BBC documentary did focus their attention on Tony Parsons.

Do many of you fall asleep to True Crime documentaries?

Is there a particular Crime documentary/case you can watch over again or have watched more than once?

I fall asleep to true crime podcasts.
