Source [1]: Title: The 1980s: The Deadliest Decade (2016). Network/Platform: Investigation Discovery. Rating: TV-14. Genres: Documentary, Crime, and Reality. Overview: Investigation Discovery transports viewers on a bittersweet and terrifying journey back in time, revealing the dark side of America's favorite decade.
Source [2]: Mentions streaming availability (Netflix, HBO Max, Oneplay, Disney+) but doesn't confirm it is on them, just asks where to watch. I should probably avoid stating it is on those services unless it's a fact. The source asks "Je... online na...?" (Is... online on...?). I will avoid these.
Source [3]: Mentions a specific case: Murder in a city. In Boston, a couple is attacked. A woman and her unborn child die. The surviving man describes the attacker, which triggers racial animosity. A new witness appears.
