Murder victims help solve their own murders from beyond the grave
About How I Caught My Killer
DNA. Fingerprints. Blood spatter. These are all types of evidence that have become standard in solving homicide cases. But the ubiquity of technology has also impacted murder investigations, providing new evidence for detectives. How I Caught My Killer includes cases with clues left by technology, along with other evidence. In a flip of the usual method of investigation, the focus is on evidence from the victim’s life, instead of evidence left by the killer.
This true crime show features murder cases in which the victims “caught” the killer by helping detectives solve the case through text messages, diary entries, social media posts, fitness apps, or documents that provide clues after their murder.
Each episode has a different narrator to reflect the identity of the victim. Another unique aspect of the true crime show is the music, which uses pop songs with lyrics instead of instrumental background music, making the show seem more trendy and modern.
