Buried in the Backyard is a true crime series that delves into the harrowing stories of people who have vanished without a trace, only to be discovered buried in unsuspecting places. Produced by Oxygen, the show premiered in 2018 and features the hosts, Mignon Farmani, Jeremy Michael Pereira, and Matt Fowler, as they unravel the layers of each chilling case.

The series opens with a haunting narration by Mignon Farmani, who sets the tone for the episode as she walks the viewers through the details of the case at hand. Each episode is carefully crafted to provide a deep insight into the lives of the victims, their families, and the circumstances that led to their death. The series is well-researched and features interviews with investigators, forensic experts, and sometimes, even the perpetrators of the crime.

From buried bodies in backyards to hidden graveyards and forgotten landfills, the series takes the audience on a journey through the darkest corners of society. The first episode of the series, for example, explores the case of a young mother who disappeared without a trace. Only after the perpetrator was caught and convicted, did the full extent of the horror come to light about what really happened to her.

What makes Buried in the Backyard stand out is its ability to delve deeper into the psychological and emotional impact on those who have lost loved ones. The show does not merely present the facts of each case but rather provides a platform for families to share their grief, their pain, and their desire for justice.

The stories featured in the show are both heartbreaking and fascinating. The audience will follow the yarns of a man who buried his wife in his backyard, only to forget where he buried her, and also, the tale of a young woman who disappeared on her way home from a party and was found years later buried in a landfill of her town. The series raises important questions about how well we really know the people around us, and just how deep our darkest secrets can go.

One unique aspect of the series is how it focuses on the role of everyday members of the public in the search for missing persons. It showcases how vital even apparently minor information can be in the investigation of a missing person case. In some cases, the public's role in the investigation is game-changing.

Buried in the Backyard is a masterfully produced true crime series that is both informative and gripping. It presents its audience with human stories that will leave them reeling and utterly fascinated. The use of interviews and reenactments provides a gripping window into the lives of those who have been affected by the crimes, and the series ends with an update on each case, bringing both a sense of closure and, in some cases, apprehension.

In conclusion, Buried in the Backyard, with its well-crafted narratives, haunting narration, and informed, articulate hosts, combines true crime and human interest in a compelling, unforgettable manner. This series is a must-watch for fans of the genre and anyone interested in real-life criminal cases. It's an illuminating and intriguing show that is sure to leave you spellbound.
