We hear her voice courtesy of recordings of interviews she conducted and podcast appearances. We see her in home videos talking about the case and sharing tender moments with her husband and daughter. McNamara is the dominant presence in the first four episodes of the series. Two-time Emmy winner and two-time Oscar nominee Liz Garbus (“Ghosts of Abu Ghraib,” “The Fourth Estate,” “What Happened, Miss Simone?”) adds to her world-class credentials with an expertly woven narrative chronicling two equally compelling stories: the search for the Golden State Killer, and the heartbreaking story of McNamara’s own journey, which included a lifelong struggle with depression, an increasing dependence on prescription drugs as she devoted five years of her life working on the book - and her sudden and tragic death at 46 before the manuscript was completed.
Ill be gone in the dark series#
McNamara’s pursuit of the elusive, shadowy and horrific figure who committed more than 100 burglaries, in excess of 50 rapes and at least 13 murders in California from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s led to a widely acclaimed article in Los Angeles magazine, the bestseller “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark” (it might be the best true crime book I’ve read since Capote’s “In Cold Blood”) - and now a chilling and involving six-part documentary series for HBO, with the first episode premiering at 9 p.m.
