I’ll Be Gone in the Dark: special episode trailer

The special new episode of I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, which followed writer Michelle McNamara (late wife of actor Patton Oswalt) screens on Binge tomorrow, as it unlocks another case…

Writer Michelle McNamara was key to keeping the Golden State Killer case alive and in the public eye for so many years, but passed away in 2016, before she could witness the impact of her relentless determination in seeking justice for the victims.

This powerful special closes one chapter in McNamara’s investigative work on cold cases, and brings to light another – the rape and murder of Kathy Lombardo in 1984 in McNamara’s hometown of Oak Park, Illinois.

Featuring the late McNamara’s own archival research and voice recordings, and interviews with residents of present-day Oak Park, the one hour special highlights the trauma that persists when a crime goes unsolved, with McNamara’s work standing as a stark reminder of the importance of citizen sleuths who remain dogged in their search for the truth.
