American Murder: The Family Next Door (2020)

The alarm is sounded extremely quickly for the disappearance of a pregnant woman and her two young children. Her friend, who'd seen her just hours earlier, alerts the police when her calls and texts are not returned. The entirety of the film is comprised of actual texts, emails, voice messages, photos, surveillance video and police recordings. There are no dramatic reenactments: we're seeing what actually happened, which is very powerful.

Also: what a treat to see such a terrible, terrible person turn out to be such a stupid one.
