- More about The Real-Life Murder Clubs: Citizens Solving True Crimes
Citizen sleuthing is when regular people investigate cold cases and other crimes, using software and coroners photographs to show what victims looked like when alive, and matching IP addresses to lottery-winning victims' financial advisors. However, this can go wrong, with innocent people being accused of crimes they haven't committed, leading to tragic results.

The Netflix hit "Don't F**k with Cats" was based on the 2012 Montreal murder of Lin Jun by his porn-star boyfriend, Luka Magnotta. Previously Magnotta had anonymously posted videos of himself killing kittens. This spurred horrified Facebook sleuths into working tirelessly to uncover his identity and location.
A self-taught forensic artist uses software and coroners photographs to show what victims looked like when alive; a mother fulfils her graveside promise to her daughter to get the gang who had killed her; Websleuths matched the IP address of a suspicious contributor to a lottery-winning victim's financial advisor – his body was found in his advisor's boyfriend's garden.
Sometimes citizen sleuthing goes wrong, though, with innocent people being accused of crimes they haven't committed, with tragic results. This real-life version of Richard Osman's "The Thursday Murder Club" is grittier, with intrepid amateur investigators delving into truly gruesome unsolved crimes in pursuit of justice.
The true story of the "Don't F**k with Cats" murder is a chilling reminder of the power of social media and the dangers of online anonymity. It also highlights the importance of collaboration and teamwork in solving complex crimes, as well as the potential risks and consequences of pursuing justice without proper legal authority.
