HBO True Crime Series Explores Two Stories of Obsession

In a three-part documentary titled 'A Killer Story,' HBO presents two distinct narratives centered on crime and investigation, blending solemnity with bizarre elements. The first story focuses on Dana Chandler, who received a life sentence for the murder of her ex-husband and his new girlfriend, while the second follows Eileen Umbehr, an armchair detective whose obsessive emails to journalists eventually led to the overturning of Chandler's conviction. Joe Sexton, former editor at ProPublica and The New York Times, serves as the narrator in this meta-documentary that examines both a disturbing murder case and the absurdity surrounding true crime obsession.
