We’ll get to meet the key players again. There’s the friend who gave the last interview looking like he just wrestled a blender. There’s the local crime boss who sounds like a Bond villain but actually just owns a shabby motel. And don’t forget the internet sleuths, who will be presented as both heroes and unhinged lunatics.
I’m most excited for the segment on the “Armchair Detectives.” These are the people who drew red circles on satellite images of a cow pasture and swore it was a crime scene. The documentary will show them arguing in a Discord server for forty minutes. It’s going to be like watching a car crash, but the car is made of bad theories and the crash is in slow motion.
One of the most surprising facts? The documentary includes an exclusive interview with a taxi driver who claims he saw Jay eating a kebab at 4 AM. The kebab shop owner, however, says he was closed. This contradiction is literally the core of the entire mystery. The case is held together by the flimsiest string of eyewitness accounts since the JFK assassination.
Why You Should Care (Even If You Don’t)
You might think, “Oh great, another true crime cash grab.” And you’d be half right. But this documentary is different because it’s so stupidly confusing that it’s actually hilarious. The case is like a joke where the punchline is a shrug emoji. You won’t learn the truth, but you will learn how to spot a liar by the way they sweat under a hot documentary light.

Also, the soundtrack is reportedly composed entirely of sad reggaeton. Prepare for a banger of a theme song that makes you want to cry and dance at the same time. It’s the emotional rollercoaster we all deserve.
