Netflix always knows how to feed our true-crime appetite with some of the world’s most bizarre and forgotten tragedies told in doco form. The latest, Into The Deep, documents the devastating story of Swedish journalist Kim Wall, who was killed by a Danish inventor Peter Madsen after she went to interview him on his submarine. It was only a matter of time before the case, often nicknamed the ‘submarine case’, became a must-watch doco.

The documentary first premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival and is the work of Australian filmmaker Emma Sullivan, who had been filming Madsen 18 months before Wall’s death.
Originally the film began under the belief that Sullivan was making a documentary about the inventor’s aspirations in space. Into The Deep looks at both the life of Madsen and the volunteers who had dedicated their lives to his space project. The true-crime documentary wades through Sullivan’s old footage for warning signs, as well as documenting the aftermath of the submarine’s disappearance to Madsen’s trial.
What Happened To Kim Wall?
It took over two weeks for Kim Wall’s death to be confirmed after Madsen was pulled to safety after his submarine sank. Wall’s torso was found on a beach by a passing cyclist on 21 August 2017, ten days after she was reported missing. Her head, legs and clothing were found by police divers on October 6 the same year.
During the police investigation, Madsen gave three different versions of what had happened to the journalist, which eventually helped lead to his conviction. Madsen first claimed that he had dropped her off the night before. Later, he claimed there had been a “terrible accident” on board – in which Wall had fatally hit her head – and he had dumped her body. In his final account, he said Wall had died on board of carbon monoxide poisoning and admitted to dismembering her body (which he had previously denied).
Madsen was given a life sentence after a judge ruled that Wall’s murder was cynical and planned.
When Will Into The Deep Be Released?
The documentary will be available to stream on Netflix later this year, although no official date has been set.
