The Carpool Detectives: A True Story of Four Moms, Two Bodies, and One Mysterious Cold Case

In 2020, four mothers—Marissa, Jeannie, Samira, and Nicole—meet at a school fundraiser and bond over their shared interest in true crime. Seeking new purpose as their children become more independent, they become fixated on an unsolved double homicide from their hometown that occurred a decade earlier. A couple in their 60s disappeared from their home and shuttered their family business, leaving millions of dollars unaccounted for. Initially suspected of fleeing with the money, they became victims when their bodies were discovered in a car at the bottom of a ravine. The case then went cold. With no law-enforcement background and no connection to the case, the four women begin their own investigation. They dig through ravines, examine potential crime scenes, and review police files, placing themselves in dangerous situations as they pursue leads. As their investigation deepens, they uncover information that could potentially resolve the case and provide closure to the victim's family. This true story documents their amateur criminal investigation and the personal risks they encounter along the way.
