Crime documentary discussion thread

That was really upsetting.

Anyone seen the documentary 'we are Jeni' on HBO Max?

 

[LouBug19]

I think the police accepted it was a scam. But yeah, it was a really odd one. The language barrier didn't help. Lost in translation.

Yeah it was a strange one. Like you said I think that there was a language barrier.

Did anybody watch True Crime Presents - a Deadly Betrayal on ITV last night ?
I fell asleep and missed it and now can't find it on ITVX, did they postpone it or not just putting it on X yet.

I watched episode 3 (with the twins) last night and I literally was sat open mouthed thinking WTAF !

The neighbour was so unfriendly! And then when the police asked her to move off the porch, she was all It's my house, I'm not moving!

I would keep going. He’s just such an odd character & it doesn’t make any sense why it’s happened

Okey dokey I’ll finish it this week.

This week's Murder Case: Digital Detectives was actually interesting. I wasn't aware of the case before. But it gets even more interesting when you Google his previous name and where he's from originally Stuff that wasn't covered in the programme.

Spoiler: Name & location

Jeffrey Mills, Newcastle - he really needs to stop using cocaine

Wow … what a fucking maniac

I've just watched the first part of the bodies under the bridge. That poor guy having to call the police about something like that

Oh cheers for the suggestion.
Mr2 struggles with some subject matters but I can get away with this one .. I hope.

Sky documentaries keep advertising a programme about grooming gangs. I can't quite remember the title and I'm not sure when it's being shown

 

[Be More Pacific]

I've seen the first episode of last seen on holiday. Given how recent the case on episode one is, I'm surprised it didn't appear to get any news coverage over here

I recognised the case from the epsiode description. It definitely got news coverage here.

Just catching up on the series Social Media Monsters. The first one is just horrendous. I’d heard about Holly but didn’t know the full extent. Then the Sam Wall one is bonkers. Her X account is private but she seems to still be posting on fb.

One night in Idaho on prime is very good. I still want to know was it targeted or not. Or was kohberger just a psychopath who picked them at random

I joined a fb group discussing this case for a while, it was very interesting. I don't know the answer, but I might watch the documentary again at some point....

 

[Meringue22]

Been watching murder trial on bbc iplayer. The dog walker one, what the actual hell?!

Is it worth me sticking with it? I gave up half way through the first episode

 

[Melian]

On channel 5 there's the Suffolk Strangler Murder Trial

 

[PoppyKJ]

Oooo found this on my app just as I was coming here to find a recommendation! Looks like this will be my new WFH series, thank you!

It's season 8 and it's the two that were on last Thursday in the USA - maybe episodes 5 & 6 or 7 & 8. I've lost track, sorry - they are showing two episodes a week. Names of the episodes were High Speed Driver or Tragic Accident? and Arson Death or Family Tragedy?

They're not actually available officially here yet but #iykyk then you can to find them

 

[RaveChampion]

I never watched the "Tiger king" series either and successfully managed to avoid knowing anything about it at all.
It took some prolonged and willful ignorance on my part IIRC.
It looks to have 15 eps though which means some commitment TBF.

 

[Buzzybee43]

At least 3 definitely are wearing wigs

But WHY????

 

[MrsO30]

I’ve watched 2 episodes and I honestly don’t know if I can face the rest. Those women and children were/ are so so vulnerable.

I have also watched a 10 part documentary called Secrets of Polygamy on the firestick which is just as horrifying, can’t believe this is still ongoing in this day and age

 

[Flowergirl14]

Ticketing Scammer on BBC iPlayer is an interesting watch. About a guy called Miles Hart scammed £1m of Glastonbury tickets in 2024.

What is the exact name of this programme please.
i googled and all the BBC says is this is part of BBC Scam week, but no pointers to the programme…….

 

[Melian]

There's a programme on Really at 10pm called Inside the arrest. I have Sky stream and can watch the previous episodes. One of those was Thomas Cashman. I've heard that tonight's episode is about a local case
