Just finished this. It’s on HBO. It’s about the Golden State Killer and the people who played a part in hunting him down, especially Michelle McNamara who wrote the book the show is based on. She was a podcaster who got involved with true crime and kind of spearheaded the search for him after 2010. She happened to be married to the actor/comedian Patton Oswalt. It’s probably the best true crime documentary I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a lot since my wife is into this stuff. Very powerful and moving and creepy. Highly recommended.

I haven’t seen the doc yet, but I’ve followed the story of Michelle McNamara writing the book and how she passed away before the GSK was identified. Her husband, Patton Oswalt was determined to finish her project so he recruited Billy Jensen, an investigative journalist, and Paul Haynes, who worked closely with Ms. McNamara on the book as a researcher, to comb through her handwritten notes and the roughly 3,500 files on her computer and piece together the story she set out to tell. Wonderful story of dedication on his part.

I always liked Oswalt before I watched this and now I like him much more. Their love story is the heart of the documentary and I was involved in that as much as I was catching the GSK.
