Kathleen and Michael Peterson - Part 3
🕑 Added 2024-01-07 17:10:09 +0000 UTCIn December of 2001, Kathleen Peterson’s body was discovered in bloody scene at the foot of the stairs in the Durham, North Carolina, home where she and her husband Michael lived. While Michael claimed it must have been an accidental fall while he was outside, the police were immediately suspicious due to the amount of blood, and they homed in on Michael. Thanks to The Staircase documentary series on Netflix, this story has become one of the most talked about and baffling cases ever. In part three of this three-part episode, we talk about the investigation, the trial, the owl theory, and the aftermath.

Thank you! We started watching this but I remember getting irrationally angry at Colin Firth. He was scary good. What do you think is the most plausible?

Fantastic three parter! I’m still torn! I enjoyed watching the HBO series, spoiler - they showed three different scenarios and honestly each one looked like what really happened

Thank you, Emily! It was driving me nuts because I couldn’t remember when we’d seen it first.

So the Staircase was not initially on Netflix. They acquired it later. It aired on TV in 2004 (on the BBC) and then Sundance showed it and it took off via word of mouth.
