From theft to fraud to murder, the best true crime documentaries on Netflix are packed with stories and scandals that will send a chill down your spine — and the streamer's latest title is no exception. Premiering today, May 9, A Deadly American Marriage explores the shocking death of Jason Corbett from two sides: the perspective of self-defense as well as brutal murder.
Jason Corbett was a thirtysomething Irish widower and father of two, who found love again with Molly Martens, a 25-year-old Kentucky native who had come to Limerick, Ireland, to work as an au pair for Corbett's children. However, their picture-perfect life — which included a wedding and relocation to North Carolina — ended in a horrifying fashion when Jason was discovered beaten to death with a brick and a baseball bat at the family home in August 2015.
