Fans were suitably impressed with Shanann and Chris' neighbours in the documentary, who instantly suspected that Chris was behind his family's disappearance and alerted the police. Nate Trinastich was suspicious of Chris' behaviour after he had spotted him out on his drive in the early hours one morning, stating he wasn't "acting right". One person wrote: "Shannan and Chris’ neighbour knew what was up immediately."

Another added: "The neighbour in #AmericanMurder needs to be in the FBI. This man has surveillance of the block, picked up on the husband’s unusually jittery behaviour, and told the cop he’s suspicious just based on a 20-minute interaction." A third person tweeted: "Watching #AmericanMurder on @Netflix and the neighbour who took the footage from his driveway was a hero in this case."
