Then, HBO’s six-part adaptation of Michelle McNamara's book, "I’ll Be Gone In The Dark," pulls together the narratives of the criminal’s many victims, the cops frustrated by the cold case, and the army of armchair detectives dabbling into the five-decade unsolved mystery of the Golden State Killer. But at the heart of the documentary is McNamara, who died before completing her manuscript.
