Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields (2022) is a series I watched over the weekend on Netflix. The storyline follows a series of bodies buried on the same stretch of highway. The first set of bodies is found in the early 80s, another set of bodies is found is the late 90s and some additional kills may have taken place in the early 2000s. The police and a parent of one of the victims track down the serial killer(s) and try to determine if it's one killer or just a coincidence multiple bodies are buried on the same land. Will they ever discover whom is responsible?
This series was created by Jessica Dimmock (Unsolved Mysteries) and does have an Unsolved Mystery feel to it. The series does a great job of showing the details, how they unfold over time and the feel within the community and family members impacted. There's a lot of questions throughout on why and where the victims made the various decisions that led to the attacker(s) finding them and what happened to them before being murdered. There's always a question on if they will catch the killer(s) until the credits role.
Overall, this isn't as good as the recent Dahmer docuseries or the last Crime Scene on The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel, but it's still entertaining and worth a watch. I would score this a 7-7.5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
