Just days after the shocking and brutal stabbing to death of his mother-in-law, Vibeke Rasmussen, movie maker John MacGibbon picks up his camera and begins a harrowing search for truth.
How to Survive a Murder is a look at a gut-wrenching tale of a tragic crime that never should have occurred.
MacGibbon and his family are desperate to find out what led to Rasmussen being slashed and stabbed more than 35 times late one night in her apartment in historic Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Police would reveal only that they suspected a 24-year-old man with a violent past.
Frustrated by the puzzling hostility and evasive behaviour of state and local authorities, MacGibbon launches his own investigation and uncovers a web of lies and deceit spun to protect an influential Plymouth family including police cover-ups, lenient judges and prosecutors and the dark family secrets that turned a privileged, charming and deeply disturbed young man into a killer.
In the series premiere, "A Violent Murder": Filmmaker John MacGibbon receives a call saying his mother-in-law, Dr. Vibeke Rasmussen, has not shown up for work.
Hours later police call to share an unimaginable truth - 76-year-old Rasmussen has been stabbed more than 35 times in the face, neck, hands and shoulders while in bed in her apartment.
