Erin Lee Carr’s Criminal Mind


She makes TV shows about real-life fraud and murder.

When I arrive at Vidiots, the DVD rental store, hangout, and art-house cinema in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, I find her thumbing through O.J: Made in America, Hoop Dreams, West of Memphis,and Capturing the Friedmans and The Jinx, both by Andrew Jarecki. On October 15, HBO will debut a two-part documentary produced and directed by Carr titled I’m Not a Monster: The Lois Riess Murders, which tells the tale of a Minnesota grandmother who killed her husband and went on the run. The same producers as The Act(also about the Blanchards) are behind her next project, a scripted series exploring Alex Murdaugh’s role in the 2021 murders of his wife, Maggie (who will be played by Patricia Arquette), and his son, Paul, for Hulu.
