First-person stories from murder victims’ loved ones and others
About Evil Lives Here: Shadows of Death
Evil Lives Here: Shadows of Death highlights the impact of a murder on the lives of three or four people involved in a case, including victims’ loved ones, detectives, and sometimes a family member or friend of the killer.
Part of the Evil Lives Here franchise, the show differs from the original Evil Lives Here and its cousin Evil Lives Here: The Killer Speaks by spotlighting the stories of victims’ friends and family members and only sometimes including the voice of someone who lived with a killer, as in the other two shows.
The series is more like a conventional true crime show due to its heavier emphasis on the investigation and story of the murder itself, rather than the hints of evil in the killer or the events that led up to the homicide, like Evil Lives Here. The storytelling style is similar to Evil Lives Here but not in its focus on the perpetrator of the crime.
