In July 2009, a routine drive on New York's Taconic State Parkway turned into one of the most baffling tragedies the region had seen in years, when Diane Schuler's minivan collided head-on with an oncoming SUV, k****** eight people, including herself, three young nieces, and her own daughter. What followed was years of speculation, conflicting toxicology reports, and a grieving family desperate for answers that never fully arrived, all of which were compiled in the documentary titled There's Something Wrong with Aunt Diane.

Fortunately, tracking down this haunting documentary today takes far less digging than the case itself ever did.

The documentary, There's Something Wrong with Aunt Diane, follows the horrifying events of the July 2009 Taconic State Parkway crash and was released by HBO in 2011. It was directed by Liz Garbus, known for Bobby Fischer Against the World and What Happened, Miss Simone? Since it's an HBO original, the documentary streams on HBO Max, and it is also available to rent on Prime Video in the United States.

With a runtime of an hour and forty minutes, the documentary peels back the nitty-gritty of the case and highlights just how much of a headline Diane Schuler had become. It attempts to answer the mystery of what had become of Schuler and why the accident took place through various interviews and field experts.

While HBO's There's Something Wrong with Aunt Diane is still making rounds despite being a 2011 release, the streamer has made several others that have garnered major awards.

HBO has built its documentary slate on stories exactly like There's Something Wrong with Aunt Diane, the kind that linger long after the credits roll and the 2022 release Navalny is proof. The documentary, based on Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, ended up bagging the Best Documentary Feature at the Academy Award alongside a BAFTA and a Critics' Choice Award.

The streamer has only excelled further in the documentary arena, and the recent crowning of Prime Minister as the Best Documentary at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards solidifies this. Although its political works usually bring home the awards, HBO has also dipped its cameras into true crime through titles such as M***** on a Sunday Morning and The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst.
