Premise

No One Saw a Thing examines "an unsolved and mysterious death in the American Heartland and the effects of vigilantism in small town America. The case garnered international attention in the early 1980s after a resident, Ken Rex McElroy, was shot dead in front of almost 60 townspeople. These witnesses deny having seen anything, to this very day."^[2]

Episodes

Reception

Decider called it "amazing", where "Belkin does a good job of revisiting a case that captured the nation's — if not the world's — attention in the 1980s and brings some fresh perspective to it" by comparing the town's reactions via past archival shots and present interviews.^[4]
