The Best Real Life Crime Shows Streaming on Netflix Right Now

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Winthrop chapter.

If you’re anything like me, you love to get scared and you love a good crime show. Something chilling, something creepy and something that will make you so freaked out you need to fall asleep with the lights on. Check out these real life crime shows that are streaming on Netflix this month! 

 

“Cold Justice”

Originally aired on Oxygen, this show is like a true CSI or SVU. Two investigators head around the country to small towns looking into old, unsolved murder cases and hope to bring the family of the deceased some closure and comfort knowing the murderer after all those years.

 

“The Confession Tapes”

 

If you like scary, then this is the perfect show for you. This Netflix original is filmed like a documentary and takes a peek into criminals brains as they admit and confess to murders and explain deeper about why they did it.  

 

“The Keepers”

Another scary Netflix original is about a nun named Sister Catherine who disappeared in 1969 and her body showed up months later. Medical examiners ruled it a murder, but still in this day, no one knows why she was murdered or who the killer is. So the case is being opened again and investigated to finally put to bed a curious case in the Catholic church.

 

So Collegiettes–grab your stuffed animal, a friend and maybe a few lights because these shows are so spooky and so real!
