Some of the content that aired in Anatomy of Crime was occasionally pretty graphic for television. Some of the episodes that aired featured filmed murders that weren't censored. A number of these filmed murders included: Gary Plauche killing pedophile Jeff Doucet,[2] Emilio Nuñez murdering his ex-wife Maritza Martin at a cemetery and the Murder of Lea Mek, which was a gang related shooting between the Asian Boyz gang and the Wah Ching gang at a pool hall.[3] All of these cases were filmed murders. None of this footage was censored and was still aired on television, despite each clip being pretty graphic. The video of Gary Plauche that aired on Anatomy of Crime has been uploaded to YouTube and has received over 19 million views.
