Why Watch This

This is true crime built for the smartphone era: instead of dusty case files, the throughline is digital breadcrumbs — a final text, a location ping, a deleted chat log. It's a genuinely interesting angle on how modern investigations actually get solved, and a useful reminder of how much of a trail a phone leaves behind.

If How I Caught My Killer's digital-evidence focus interested you, Girl on the Run and American Manhunt: O.J. Simpson show how much investigative technique has changed across different eras of the same genre.
