Netflix's Newest Miniseries UnbelievableNetflix Was Inspired By Real Events
about the troubling rape case involving a teenager in Lynwood, Washington.
When the teen first went to the police with her story in 2008, things quickly escalated. The more that the officers investigating the case prompted her to explain exactly what happened to her, the more difficult it was for Marie to keep the details of her story straight. Her inconsistent testimony, combined with inadequate physical evidence of the assault and what officers found to be an unconvincing reaction to the alleged attack, led to the police department dubbing the story as false.
Facing potential jail time—giving a false statement to the police is a misdemeanor punishable with up to a year in jail and substantial fines—Marie took a deal offered by the Lynwood police department. As part of the deal, she would be required to undergo counseling, be under supervised probation for a year, and pay a hefty fine.
Gilraith and Hendershot spent thousands of hours poring over the evidence and picking apart their victims' statements to see how the cases were linked until they finally landed on a likely suspect: a 30-year-old Army veteran named Marc O'Leary. Ultimately, it was a distinctive birthmark on O'Leary's leg that gave him away, as described by one of his victims.
Although it's more so a dramatization of the events of the Lynwood investigation rather than a straight-up documentary ,is nonetheless a harrowing and incredibly timely story to share in the age of #MeToo. Rape culture creates a society in which violence against women is normalized and shoulders us with the responsibility of bearing the blame for our victimization, its insidious nature even creating bias in the minds of those whose job it is to serve and protect us.
