About Murder by Medic

They’re supposed to save lives, but sometimes, they take lives. Murder by Medic details murders by healthcare professionals in the US, UK, Australia, and Germany, including doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, and paramedics, who killed patients, spouses, or others, many in healthcare or elder care settings.

Few episodes include victims’ loved ones and their stories. Instead, experts like criminologists, psychologists, retired detectives, and doctors such as Bryanna Fox, Joni Johnston, Donna Youngs, Sarah Jarvis, and Rod Demery are joined by investigators to describe the murders.

The show has a lot of overlap with Nurses Who Kill, but also includes high-profile cases like Jack Kevorkian, Christopher Duntsch, and Yolanda Saldivar.

Show: Meet, Marry, Murder

The name says it all: two people meet and marry each other, then one of them murders the other

About Meet, Marry, Murder

Meet, Marry, Murder features disturbing homicide cases committed by one spouse against the other, often in relationships involving domestic abuse or coercive control. Episodes concentrate on couples from the US and UK and rely on detectives recounting their investigations, along with outside experts like psychologists, former detectives, journalists, criminologists, attorneys, and domestic abuse specialists, who succeed at emphasizing the seriousness of the situation and the dangers of domestic abuse. They not only detail the story, but also the psychology behind the murder, suspect, victim, and their relationship.

Some of the cases also appear on Dateline and other true crime shows, with different details (such as the Hall, Novak, McDowell, and Cochran cases). A standout is the dual coverage of the Kathy Augustine murder by her husband Chaz Higgs in one episode and the murder-suicide involving Dallas Augustine (her daughter) and her wife in another.

Will Hanrahan narrates the original series, and an abridged version appears on Tubi as an “original,” but it is really a repackaged version of the first series. It consists of some of the American cases from the first series and is hosted by Michelle Trachtenberg, with new titles and narration. Trachtenberg’s narration attempts at salaciousness, but comes across as slow and forced, and she fails to match Hanrahan’s ease of narration and fluid style.

Helen Hunt hosts a new series on Lifetime with the same name, with actual new cases this time, also produced by Hanrahan.
