‘The Staircase’ Creators Break Down Recreating Each Possible Staircase Death Scenario

HBO Max’s “The Staircase” miniseries retells one of true crime’s most notorious cases: the death of Kathleen Peterson, through a fall from a staircase in her home. Although her husband Michael Peterson was convicted of murder in 2003, he was eventually released, and to this day nobody knows exactly how Kathleen died.
