A True Crime addict is never satisfied, no matter how many podcasts or documentaries they get their hands on. Luckily for us, Netflix has four new titles out with compelling footage and interviews, many of which have never been seen before.
Check out each of them below!
Cold Case: The Tylenol Murders
This three-part docuseries tackles the 1982 cold case that killed seven in the Chicagoland area after bottles of Extra Strength Tylenol were poisoned with cyanide. The randomness of the deaths caused wide-spread panic that led to a national recall and challenged local and federal law enforcement. While one suspect, James William Lewis, was linked to a threatening letter, there was ultimately insufficient evidence to charge him with the crime. The case has been reopened multiple times over the years, but no one was ever charged, however, the lasting impact of tamper evident seals on the pharmaceutical industry is a direct result of the tragic case.
Oklahoma City Bombing: American Terror
This year marks the 30th anniversary of this deadly domestic terror attack that killed 168 and injured over 600 people, and this film revisits tragic events of Timothy McVeigh’s attack through a modern lens. Using a truck bomb filled with ammonium nitrate and fuel oil, and targeting the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, McVeigh harbored deeply radical anti-government sentiments following his service in the Gulf War. The film draws parallels to contemporary movements, includes never-before-seen footage, and highlights the impact the event had on law enforcement and surveillance.
A Deadly American Marriage
This documentary covers the 2015 death of Irish widow Jason Corbett, who was bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat and a concrete paver after relocating to North Carolina. His remarriage to former nanny, Molly, sparks investigation into her and her father, who claim Jason had been physically abusive. Using a combination of interviews, courtroom reconstruction, and media coverage, filmmakers are able to construct a story that has received praise for it’s sensitivity, especially towards Jason’s children and family.
Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story
This three part docuseries covers the famed “House of Horrors” that was home to one of the UK’s most notorious serial killer couples. Fred and Rose West tortured, abused, and murdered at least twelve young women and girls between 1967 and 1987, and their own daughter Heather was among the victims, many of whom were buried in the couple’s backyard. Despite being an older case, the docuseries claims never-before-seen footage, as well as interviews with family members of victims who have chosen to speak publicly for the first time.
