Welcome to You Can't Make This Up, a companion podcast for Netflix original true crime stories.

I'm Rebecca Lervoy, your host.

Each episode we take a close up look at a true crime narrative, documentary, or series, and I talk to the people who made them, diving deep into the backstories and getting answers to questions raised by what we just watched. On this week the documentary, Why Did You Kill Me?

I'm joined by the film's director and producer Frederick Monk. Now a note to

listeners, this episode does contain spoilers for Why Did You Kill Me, so make sure to watch the film and then listen on.

After her daughter's murder, a mother uses the social networking site MySpace to find the people she believes are responsible.

She creates a fake profile that leads to unexpected intimacy with the suspects, a key break in the case,

and a dark revenge plot. The documentary Why Did You Kill Me offers a

gripping look at the effects of loss and the relationship between revenge, forgiveness,

and the criminal justice system.
