The best true crime documentaries on Netflix to stream right now

A sad and harrowing true crime documentary, Girl in the Picture tells the story of a girl found dying on the side of the road and the investigation into the cause of her death. As mysteries around the victim's true identity arise, the case quickly unravels to reveal stories of deception, kidnap, and murder. 

At the heart of this documentary, however, is a young woman whose life was tragically taken away from her, and the determination to not just resolve the case but to discover who she really is. Girl in the Picture shies away from some of the more sensualized docs on the streaming platform and instead tells a captivating and gut-wrenching story.
