I prefer historical cases to more contemporary ones, but my favorites are Hinterkaifeck, the Villisca axe murders, Lizzie Borden, that kind of thing.

I'm writing the ones of these I haven't seen/read to look them up. Great list.

I'm more interested in historical crime too. That's why I loved Murder Maps so much. It went all the way from before Jack the Ripper to post-WWII and tracked the major crimes and the development of the process of police work and crime solving. Fascinating to me.

Lizzie Borden is one case I'm really interested in. Such an interesting case. The other one I've been studying recently is John Christie (which I learned about thanks to Murder Maps, and went to do more research on it).

Then you might particularly enjoy The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher, because it's not just about the murder in question but also about the role of the British police detective in its early days. The Invention of Murder was very interesting because it's an overview on true crime in the Victorian era and the cultural fascination with murder, crime and media based on crime. There's a documentary series by the same name that was also quite good.

SA as before - another good historical crime is The Maul and the Pear Tree, by P.D. James. James is better known for her fiction, but this book is about the Ratcliff Highway murders in early 1800s London, long before there was such a thing as police detectives.

Oh my God, yes, Dear Zachary.

I finally got around to watching it back in March, I think. I'm so upset about how that whole thing played out.

It was terrible... you feel so bad for the surviving family and outraged at how the ending wasn't prevented.
