Here’s what you should watch next after Netflix’s American Murder: Gabby Petito

Netflix’s last American Murder season focused on Gabby Petito, a 22-year-old van life blogger who was killed by her fiancé.

Gabby was murdered in rural Wyoming, and it took weeks to find her, with her fiancé refusing to cooperate with police. Her killer, Brian Laudrie, later died by suicide, leaving a note which confessed to his crime.

This particular case went global, with Gabby soon becoming a household name, therefore it’s no surprise a documentary was made by Netflix about her murder.

However, if you’ve seen this documentary and are interested in watching more true crime series, then this guide will direct you to the best ones available right now.

Jennifer is the only member of the household unharmed, but when her father wakes up, the pieces of the puzzle come together and the fingers only point one way.

Don’t F**k with Cats

via Netflix

The final recommendation of what to watch next if you’ve just finished Netflix’s Gabby Petito documentary is Don’t F**k With Cats.

This documentary is probably one of the best I have ever watched. As a true crime fan, I have explored many series focusing on real life incidences of crime but none have left me as shocked as this.

A limited series on Netflix, Don’t F**k with Cats is a whirlwind. It starts with a man being seen to abuse a cat online, something that gains the attention of a number of Facebook users.

These users then form a group to find out who hurt the cat and bring him to justice. Through doing this, they find out the man involved may be much more sinister then they’re led to believe, but can the armchair detectives track down this man before it’s too late?

You’ll have to watch to find out.
