As "Lover, Stalker, Killer" (2024 release; 90 min.) opens, we are introduced to Dave, whose marriage has fallen apart, and he newly single on Omaha, NE. He tries his luck on a dating site, where he meets Liz but then then fizzle out, and he then meets Cari, and they hit it off. When she suggests they move in together, Dave turns her down... At this point we are 10 minutes into the documentary.
Couple of comments: this is the latest from longtime documentarian director Sam Hobkinson ("The Kleptocrats"). Here he revisits what happened in the Fall of 2012, when Dave dips his toes int the dating scene in Omaha, and things take an unexpected turn... Let me state upfront that I had no idea how this would play out, and in that sense the documentary is a great example that good story-telling can carry a movie any day of the week. Also a great example of how digital sleuthing is done.
"Lover, Stalker, Killer" premiered on Netflix a few weeks ago, and I just saw it the other night. If you are among the many, many viewers (like myself) who enjoy a great true crime documentary, I'd readily suggest you check this out, and draw your own conclusion.
