Hunted By My Husband: The Untold Story Of The DC Sniper
October 28, Investigation Discovery
I’ll spare you my feelings on months dedicated to concerns we should have all year and will just note that October is apparently Domestic Violence Awareness Month, which ID acknowledges with content focused on survivors of abuse. To that end, this doc is centered on the experiences of Mildred Muhammad, the ex-wife of DC Sniper John Muhammad and — in the words of the doc’s press release — ”reveals the chilling reality that the violence that gripped the D.C. area in 2002 was not a series of random killings, but part of a calculated plan rooted in manipulation, control, and domestic abuse driven by a single, dark obsession: John's relentless desire to murder his ex-wife so he could have custody of their three children.”
