Killer Lies: Chasing A True Crime Con Man
On Air 🎬

based on Lauren Collins's 2022 New Yorker exposé "Murder, He Wrote," KILLER LIES: CHASING A TRUE CRIME CON MAN expands on Collins's investigation into the rise and fall of a provocative French serial killer expert, Stéphane Bourgoin, who became famous for his extraordinary resume of jailhouse interviews with serial killers as well as his personality quirks, and his morbid encounters. Bourgoin cited the violent and horrifying 1976 slaying of his wife by a serial killer as motivation for his relentless interest in the minds of murderers. After 40 years and 40 books, he becomes the target of a group of online sleuths, known as 4ème Oeil Corporation (4th Eye), who try to untangle his web of lies and unearth the truth. The three-part series, directed by Emmy(R)-nominated filmmaker Ben Selkow, fully reveals the online group's dogged investigation and the shocking extent of Bourgoin's deception. It features exclusive access to 4th Eye members speaking for the first time on camera in a documentary, along with material from Bourgoin's own films and past television appearances and forensically reexamined archival footage. Viewers will hear from those closest to Bourgoin for an intimate peek inside a pathological liar's mind as well as hear from Bourgoin himself in his most comprehensive sit-down interview discussing his motives for fabricating such grandiose lies.
