True crime fans have been left feeling sick after watching a disturbing episode of a 'best ever' show. Crime in Progress is a documentary series that plunges viewers into real life investigations in real time, with a unique twist. Audiences witness serious cases as they watch raw and unedited material from body cam footage and CCTV.
The Harrowing Episode
Following an investigation in full, there is no re-enactment, instead revealing split second judgements and the urgency faced by emergency responders. Having first been released in the US, UK audiences were able to stream the true crime documentary series when it was released on Crime + Investigation as well as Prime Video and Sky Go.
Crime in Progress has been branded as the 'best ever' series of its kind, as UK viewers have witnessed a deeply disturbing episode that was recently released on Crime + Investigation. One true crime fan said in a TikTok video they were stunned after watching episode six, adding: 'I thought it couldn't get much worse after episode three with the babies.'
The start of the episode comes with a strong warning that it 'contains disturbing accounts of violence'. With episode six being split into two cases, one disturbing investigation focuses on a mother's worst fear as true crime fans admitted they struggled to watch. It follows the Cohee family as they make a horrifying discovery in their son's wardrobe - in which dismembered body parts were found.

The true crime enthusiast continued in their video: 'Imagine going into your kids' wardrobe and finding a plastic bag with a head in it.' One person replied: 'Watched it last night unbelievable think you have seen it all honestly.' Another added: 'I saw it he was so creepy the way he spoke.' A third penned: 'No this episode is absolutely wild the way he owns up to it.' Elsewhere, another viewer simply said they were left feeling 'sick'.
