About Culpable
Culpable is an investigative true crime series from Tenderfoot TV, the creators of Up and Vanished and Atlanta Monster. Culpable is a word that simply means deserving blame, but it tends to take on even deeper meaning in the world of true crime.
In an unsolved case, culpability is typically focused on the culprit(s). But in some cases the source of culpability may be something much deeper – like wrongful convictions, negligent investigations, or even corruption. Culpable may be a broad term, but it’s a consistent theme in the stories we share.
Season 1
Christian Andreacchio
On February 26, 2014, Christian Andreacchio was found dead in the upstairs bathroom of his apartment from a single gunshot wound to the head. After a mere 45-minute investigation, local police ruled his death a suicide, despite substantial evidence that points to homicide.
Season 2
Brittany Stykes
On August 28, 2013, an unthinkable murder shocked the rural community of Brown County, Ohio. A young mother, 22-year-old Brittany Stykes, was driving to her parent’s house when she was gunned down on a busy highway, as her surviving one-year-old daughter was seated next to her while the tragedy unfolded.
