A new true crime documentary series, The Tech Bro Murders, explores high-profile cases tied to Silicon Valley’s elite. Episodes air weekly on Investigation Discovery and stream next-day on HBO Max.

Motive isn’t just “because money” or “because jealousy.” Before a person crosses the line into killing, something deeper fractures: empathy breaks down, thought processes twist, self-control slips, and situational pressures light the fuse. Forensic psychology dissects these inner collapses, turning motive from a cliché into evidence that can guide investigations, shape trials, and sometimes mislead them entirely.

The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker isn’t your average viral-to-villain true crime doc. In just 85 minutes, it captures the bizarre rise and brutal unraveling of Caleb “Kai” McGillvary, the drifter who became an internet folk hero with a hatchet in hand. What begins as meme-fuel turns into a darker reflection on fame, media vultures, and the thin line between folk legend and cautionary tale.
