A disappearance after an online date

Swipe Right on the Devil begins with the disappearance of twenty-four-year-old Sydney Loofe after a Tinder date. Directed by Brian Biegel, the Hulu documentary follows the search as investigators encounter deception, manipulation and claims involving witchcraft. The occult language belongs to the case and the people under investigation; it is not evidence of supernatural events.

The Search for Sydney introduces accounts from other women and a man described as trying to establish a coven. Another Missing Girl follows the intensified search and the public response of key suspects. Across these opening chapters, apparently ordinary online encounters lead investigators into a much more controlling and dangerous set of relationships.

The investigation shifts from searching to establishing a murder

Witches Can Be Made follows the discovery of remains and the resulting murder investigation. Lincoln Police and the FBI confront Aubrey Trail, whose statements become part of a difficult effort to establish what happened. The three-part structure moves from absence and uncertainty to the attempt to disentangle conflicting accounts.

Imagine Documentaries and Carousel Films NYC are associated with the production, with executive producers including Brian Grazer, Ron Howard and Sara Bernstein. The film's central themes are trust and vulnerability: how control can be concealed within a relationship, and how investigators work through stories constructed to mislead them.
