3 True Crime Shows To Watch On Netflix That Will Have You Sleeping With The Lights On For Weeks

I am a true crime fanatic. I am interested and fascinated with true crime and watch all things true crime. I listen to true crime podcasts, read books, and so forth. But these three documentaries are hands-down my favorites on Netflix.

1. "The Ripper"

My first suggestion is currently trending number four in the top ten in the U.S. - "The Ripper." Directed by Ellena Woods and Jesse Vile, this docuseries is about the Yorkshire Ripper and his victims. They describe the victims' lives before the ups and downs of the police investigation, and the public's reaction to the Ripper's five-year rampage. No reenactments, real footage, and interviews with those directly associated with the case. Rating: 9/10

2. "The Confession Killer"

Robert Kenner and Taki Oldham directed this rollercoaster docuseries with real footage and interviews with those involved with the case. They were able to make the audience believe one thing and then completely flip it around. The man that the series is about is Henry Lee Lucas. He was the suspect of interest for two missing women but ends up confessing to about 600 murders. "The Confession Killer" just may be the most notorious killer alive. Rating: 8.5/10

3. "Evil Genius: The True Story of America's Most Diabolical Bank Heist"

Barbara Schroeder directs this docuseries with real footage and interviews that started as a mystery and ended with new mysteries. The Netflix summary provided: "A bank robbery in Pennsylvania ends in the bombing death of a pizza deliveryman who may or may not have been a hostage forced to commit the crime." Rating: 8/10

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
