From what you mentioned, it seems like he has a strong passion for true crime documentaries. With that in mind, here are a few gift ideas that will not only complement his love for true crime but also allow him to delve deeper into the subject matter.

1. True Crime Books: Help your son expand his knowledge and immerse himself in the gripping world of true crime by gifting him some best-selling true crime books. Whether it's Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood," Michelle McNamara's "I'll Be Gone in the Dark," or Erik Larsen's "The Devil in the White City," these books will provide him with captivating stories to enjoy.

2. Podcast Subscriptions: If your son enjoys discussing true crime, he may also appreciate listening to true crime podcasts. Consider getting him a subscription to popular true crime podcasts like "Serial," "Criminal," or "My Favorite Murder." These podcasts offer in-depth and thought-provoking discussions about various criminal cases.

3. Online Crime Investigation Course: For a more immersive experience, consider enrolling your son in an online crime investigation course. This can be a great opportunity for him to learn about forensic techniques, criminal profiling, and other aspects of solving crimes. There are many reputable online platforms that offer such courses, allowing him to explore this realm further.

4. Mystery Board Games: Bring the thrill of true crime to a new level by gifting your son mystery-themed board games. Games like "Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective" or "Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game" provide an interactive and engaging experience where players solve crimes using deductive reasoning and clues. This will not only nurture his problem-solving skills but also offer a fun and challenging activity.

5. True Crime Documentary Subscription: Finally, to keep his passion for true crime alive, consider subscribing him to a streaming service that specializes in true crime documentaries, such as Netflix or Hulu. With a wide range of documentaries available at his fingertips, he can continue to explore fascinating cases and delve deeper into the world of true crime.

By selecting a gift that aligns with your son's love for true crime documentaries, you are not only acknowledging his interests but also encouraging his curiosity and intellectual growth.
