I grew up watching true crime series such as "48 Hours" and "Dateline" (and even the original "Unsolved Mysteries" back in the day). These shows have remained strong over the decades, detailing some of the most shocking crimes you'll ever find. They pull me in with their riveting narration, witness accounts and one-on-one interviews that detail how one seemingly ordinary person pulls a 180 and turns into a criminal.
True crime documentaries often have a chance to go into greater detail than you may find with some of the more popular network shows. These films give you insights into how it played out, the victim's life and the crime's impact on everyone involved. I've compiled some of the most shocking true crime documentaries I've ever seen. These are the ones you don't want to miss. (However, I'd recommend queuing up a cartoon or a comedy show to watch when you're finished.)
