The documentary is a highly anticipated one. It was directed by Jenny Popplewell, with an Academy Award winner James Marsh.
Those who are not familiar with this would not get the other half of the written piece.
Following an inquiry, Chris would ultimately admit to killing her and their two children. He admits after their dead bodies were found at a nearby petrol facility. Chris had worked there previously.
According to other documents, Chris choked Shannan. She was pregnant at that time. He strangled her to death with their young daughters.
It’s inferred that Chris was intending to divorce Shannan before killing her, though she was protesting to protect their marriage.
Chris had a relationship with a woman at work, Nichol Kessinger, according to the trailer of American Murder The Family Next Door.
While speaking about the motivations, in the trailer of American Murder: The Family Next Door, Ms. Kessinger said that she believed it was all because of money. But she really has no idea as they were seeing each other for only two months. However, it’s possible that their relationship has played a part.
She said, “I legitimately think his cheese was sliding off his cracker long before he met me.”
After the trailer of American Murder: The Family Next Door, the documentary will be available on Netflix from 30 September.
