#Crime Documentary

[local-lover-boy]

I tried using the flash and its kinda cute but mostly I look like the missing teenage girl in a crime documentary

[yourveryowndesigirl]

My love for crime documentaries started when I started watching "crime patrol and savdhan India"

[exploding-bonbon]

I need true crime friends. I love listening to true crime podcasts, watching documentaries, and reading books about it. I like supporting the charities and making sure victims’ voices are heard. I don’t have anyone in my life who is passionate about true crime, so if you are, be my friend! Or just reblog so I can find my people, I’m sure they’re here somewhere!

I’ve been doing this thing for about a year now, where I’ve made it a goal to try and find the documentary that disturbs me the most.

I stay away from documentaries that focus on animal abuse, since that’s just a massive no-go area, I can’t even think about someone as little as shout at an animal.

But I’ve watched quite a few at this point. I know a lot of people out there are also interested in this kind of thing, so I’ll give you some of the ones that have really had an impact on me. I’ll start with the tamest ones (available on mainstream platforms like Netflix) and it’ll get progressively more upsetting lol.

I’m actually quite a desensitised person, so if a documentary affects me, you know it’s worth it.

Green = unfortunate and upsetting

Orange = Jesus that’s fucked up, that’s latched onto me for a while

Red = The above + will find it difficult to watch again, and this made me cry my eyes out

Bold Red = Kept me up at night for a while + all the above. Still think about it to this day.

Bold with ** = don’t watch if you don’t have a strong stomach and can’t handle emotionless gory images

I resisted the allure of reality TV and crime documentaries until I was almost 40. Now my queue is full of them. Watch out for middle age, kids. It makes crime doc wine moms out of the best of us.

Murder and Mysteries - Four Hour True Crime and Mystery Stories

 News of the Times Episode 283 | 1550's - 1911 

Welcome to an extended special history compilation and true cime documentary  - a review of cases where the crimes remained unsolved for years or where doubt remains as to who the murderer was.   

Our first case is the famous Sawney Sean cannibalistic family that existed in Scotland for over 25 years!  The isolated family waylaid hapless travellers, killed them, robbed them and then ate them.  The crimes were finally resolved by King James VI! 

Our second story looks at the famous east London child vanishings over several years.  Many taking place on the same street!  

Our third story looks at the still unsolved Thames torso murders that took place around the same time as the ripper killings and were located only a few miles away.  As mutilated headless bodies began washing up from the Thames, panic ensued! 

Our fourth story looks at the infamous James Maybrick case.  His death occurred in 1889.  There were some who believed he was Jack the Ripper.  As for his very painful death – did she, or didn’t she?  A famous case to this day.  

Our fifth case involves a housemaid and the primary suspect, a highly respectable church elder.  Rose was also found to be pregnant.  Her horrifically mutilated body, with attempts to burn the body after death, was incredibly shocking in its day.  

Our sixth case takes place in Lancaster Castle in 1911.  The family who act as caretakers of the castle are all dying one by one.  Who is killing them? 

Our last episode recounts three families cursed with implications to this day. 03:56:40:09 Four hours of crimes, mysteries and stories is today’s history compilation special of Murders and Mysteries.

 Hosted by Robin Coles.

I just finished the documentary don’t f**k with cats and seriously at one point I felt like literally anyone can turn into a serial killer.

He didn’t grow up in the middle of a war, he didn’t have abusive parents… he is just the kid next door who eventually turned into a homicide killer. It made me question what has actually fucked up his mind?!

I tried to connect the dots and here’s what I came up with -

First he was being bullied from a very young age bc He was naturally shy and his sexuality does not stand for the average (which may had led his confidence down and turned him even more introverted).

As he liked movies, he surrounded his world with movie characters and themes to avoid loneliness. Now I’m not sure what made him to pick up a violent and aggressive character. Might be the rage inside him and the insecurities he was going through.

And finally the obsession of getting attention (which I believe he got from his experiences). Attention-seeking disorder can drive people crazy because they just want to be get known no matter how notorious they have to be.

“Attention-seeking behavior may stem from jealousy, low self-esteem, loneliness, or as a result of a personality disorder” - web

The reason I believe anyone can turn into a psychopath is because awful experiences especially in one’s childhood leaves impacts that drive their decision for the rest of their lives. Now these necessarily don’t have to be as bad as Luka Magnotta because you will find people who will say “childhood traumas made me stronger” but traumas will definitely leave scratches and it can turn out to be sinister just like don’t f**k with cats.

The Lululemon Murder

Brittany Norwood and Jayna Troxel Murray worked at the Lululemon Athletica store located at the Washington D.C suburb of Bethesda, Maryland. Brittany had a history of shoplifting though there is no specific reason, according to the known criteria, she wasn’t a Kleptomaniac.  In my opinion, she was somewhat addicted to Luxurious items but could not afford them. Everyone in her family was well off (engineers, etc.) but she might have felt that asking for money is embarrassing or humiliating; therefore, she resorted to stealing items instead. Moreover, thrill or adrenaline rush that she felt while doing so might have played a role of maintaining factor, too. Jayna caught Brittany red-handed stealing a pair of pants on March 11, 2011, and told her she was going to report her for stealing and other things she had shoplifted prior to this event. As a result, she enticed Jayna (victim) back to the store after they had already closed, claiming that she had forgotten her wallet at the store, was carrying her metro card and money, and so on. And there she killed Jayna by hitting her with various store items; the victim sustained 330 injuries and died on the 331st hit. Then the assailant went on with her plan by sabotaging the crime scene, destroying evidences, parking victim’s car 3 blocks away, then she came back and continued with self harming in order to make it look like a case of assault and robbery.

crime documentaries in the background while sketching is my absolute favourite thing to do ever

[themysterykat]

The Poughkeepsie Tapes is good horror for those that also like crime documentaries, however the content is more disturbing that what they would normally show in a doc, word of warning.
