Victim's Perspective

Identical to a true crime podcast, Me Hereafter's narration is from the victim's perspective to connect to the audience. The victims who have passed away tell their stories themselves which makes the series interesting to watch. A new approach to storytelling, a voice-over gives insights into the victim's feelings and thought process:

“For me, this was the end, but for the cops solving my murder, it was just the beginning. I hate it when people lie, but I love it when they caught."

Interviews and footage

Most of the series consists of interviews with the victim's loved ones and their version of what happened when the victim went missing. Authoritative figures such as lawyers and the police department involved in the investigation are also interviewed.

"My mom was terrified... Mom's instincts should be trusted. I knew something was wrong."

In one of the episodes, the victim's family member got emotional during the interview and broke down in tears, she said

"All we need is the truth. A family shouldn't have to go through that."
