Trailer For Netflix's New True Crime Documentary LOVER, STALKER, KILLER
Netflix has released a trailer for the true crime documentary Lover, Stalker, Killer, which follows the wild story of an internet romance gone wrong. The doc is directed by Sam Hobkinson (Fear City: New York vs The Mafia). It is executive produced by Dov Freedman and Charlie Russell, with Sophie Clayton-Payne serving as a producer. It is a production by Curious Films (Running with the Devil).
The synopsis reads:
“Dave was recently out of a long-term relationship and eager to restart his romantic life, so he did what most people do: He tried online dating. Liz and Cari were two of his most promising connections, both single moms with winning personalities who helped bring him out of his shell in different ways. It should have been an opportunity for this hard-working, devoted dad to enjoy a second chance at casual romance, but it turned into a twisted love triangle, putting Dave and everyone he cared about at risk. Using interviews with those involved – including the law enforcement officers who cracked the case – alongside vivid reenactments that bring viewers into the tension and paranoia of Dave’s four-year nightmare, this feature documentary deftly assembles the pieces of a mind-bending true tale of harassment, digital deception, and murder in America’s heartland.”
This looks like a great documentary for fans of the true crime genre. The story seemed familiar to me when I watched the trailer, and I realized that when I went to see my favorite podcast, “My Favorite Murder,” live in Omaha, Nebraska, they covered this story.
