The archive is said to include over 250 hours of Nilsen talking about his life from his childhood to the methods behind his killings as an adult. The underlying tragedy of Netflix's true crime documentary Memories of a Murderer: The Nilsen Tapes is that so many people needlessly died due to a culture of intolerance. Harte was given access to the recordings found in a personal archive left in Nilsen’s cell after his passing. Other interviewees include officers and journalists who were involved with the original case. Memories of a Murderer: The Nilsen Tapes drops Wednesday August 18th on Netflix. Memories of a Murderer will also include interviews with family members of his victims and even survivors of Nilsen’s acts. Its not really about Nilsens memories, but memories about Nilsen, and I recommend it highly. The tapes dive deep into Nilsen’s twisted life and mind as he recalls how he was able to commit each violent crime and sweep himself under the radar for years.
