Texas Monthly True Crime: The Problem With Erik
Erik Maund had it all. A wife and kids, a mansion by the Austin Country Club golf course, and an executive position with his family’s car dealership. But in March 2020, a message from a stranger put everything at risk. Someone knew Erik had an affair with an escort, and wanted money to keep quiet. Erik didn’t pay the money, though. He didn’t go to the cops, either. Instead, he paid Charlie Sheen’s former bodyguard and a couple of special ops-trained security contractors to confront the blackmailer. Things didn’t go according to plan. In “The Problem with Erik,” host Katy Vine and producer Ana Worrel tell the twisted story of what came next: a perfect storm of secrets, mistaken identities, and tragic miscommunications that left two people dead. From the Texas Monthly team behind “Tom Brown’s Body,” “Stephenville,” and "Shane and Sally" comes the latest true story of crime and justice in the Lone Star State.

Klein

That guy Klein is a deluded and wreck less character. He clearly needs attention desperately, and of ours is making money the further things go on. There is a reason law enforcement are careful about what they say, not acting on conjecture or falsely throwing out theories that are absolutely baseless and calling them FACT. FACT. Wouldn’t surprise me in the least if he was rejected from the police force and has spent his life trying to chase them.
Very very good.

I’ve been hooked on this all day, very well researched and presented. Don’t want to give any spoilers but the last episode in the last few minutes of it really gave me insight into what probably happened.
Appalling:

I was interested until that awful, appalling “security” imbecile turned up. Self-important narcissist who just wanted to tell everyone how scary he was and how dark his world is. What a disgusting, insensitive snake oil salesman. after one episode of him… I’d had it.. he represents the sleaze of American hillbilly creeps, that we see on TV, and cringe. Repulsive.
Nicely done - good presenter

I listen to a lot of True Crime, very few just tell the story in a clear, succinct fashion. I give up with a lot of “documentaries” early on when they’re clearly just an ego trip for the presenter. Credit to the presenter of this show though, good balance of being invested in the outcome but not wanting to be part of the story (unlike some characters in this particular tale!) I echo some of the points in other reviews about the final episode hinting at a possible conclusion to the story, which could have easily been demonstrated earlier on. Overall, an interesting story, well told.
