I should have made clear this is for the Investigation Discovery Channel, where everything's a horrid murder to be solved & analyzed, so it'd be something like "just one more" in the lineup but with a slightly different M.O./demographic to break up the monotony.

I *almost* met someone thru a cancelled Airbnb rental. My Kick-starts are all techie geekie stuff, not films and such.

My gut reaction is along the exploitive line but it might have societal value as a worthy subject. But isn't there enough True Crime material around?

In any case, the process is fascinating.
