![]() ![]() To me, the greatest success of this documentary is that while I started watching it for the reason that I suspect we all watch true crime documentaries - for the thrill of trying to solve the mystery myself from my living room - I continued watching it because Hamburg was so earnest in his desire to discover his mother as a person, and never lost sight of that as the ultimate goal of this project. Instead, Hamburg was able to craft a story that was thoroughly compelling for viewers while maintaining what appeared at all times to be sincere compassion and empathy as a family member. Or indeed, that he would have already made his mind up as to who murdered his mother and would have a singular vision in bringing that person down. I was skeptical at first that being so close to the story in question, Hamburg would not have the objectivity needed to investigate all angles and expose often ugly truths about his own family. He was released on $10,000 bail, per the New Haven Register.Considering that this is Madison Hamburg's first-ever documentary and that his own mother and family are the subject of the docuseries, I was surprised at how excellent this was. Jeffrey turned himself into police and was arrested in May 2012 because he failed to pay anything toward the money he owed Barbara’s estate. At that time, he had declared bankruptcy and was looking for a job, but said he had trouble getting employment because his name keeps coming up alongside news of his ex-wife’s murder. ![]() Jeffrey owed nearly $1 million to his ex-wife’s estate, including money for child support and other funds in 2012, according to the New Haven Register. This wasn’t the first time: He was also charged with larceny after allegedly stealing more than $100,000 from another of his daughter's trust accounts. ![]() He also stole money from his children for two years.Īn arrest warrant affidavit was issued for Jeffrey in 2012 for allegedly stealing nearly $100,000 from his children's trust accounts from 2008 to early 2010, and taking the last $400 out of his daughter's funds 14 days before Barbara was found dead, the New Haven Register reported. "My family needs to see how they’re portrayed before this comes out and we need to have a conversation… There’s lots and lots of stories and nuance and everything had to be centric to my mom’s story. "It was kind of a mandatory thing for me," he said. Madison told the Shoreline Times that all the family members that are included in the documentary had a pre-screening-except his father. And he wasn’t shown the docuseries before its release. Madison described his dad as being "somewhat aloof to me," in a new interview with the Shoreline Times. He doesn’t have the best relationship with his son. It's unclear whether this LinkedIn account belongs to the same Jeffrey Hamburg from Murder On Middle Beach, but it's certainly possible. But a possible LinkedIn account is linked to Madison, CT.Īn active Jeffrey Hamburg LinkedIn account says that he is a "Business developement manager at ALSTOM power corp" and has its location set to Madison, CT. ![]() He's likely keeping a low profile given his history with police from 2010 to 2012. Not much is known about what Jeffrey is up to these days beyond what's shown in Murder On Middle Beach. Jeffrey’s conversation with Madison about Hamburg's murder is sprinkled throughout the docuseries, but the question still remains: Where is he today? Here’s what you need to know: Jeffrey appears to still be living in New York. To join, a woman had to give $5,000 to a member and then find more women to recruit.) (That pyramid scheme was known as "the gifting tables," in which groups of women lent moral support to each other and gave $5,000 tax-free "gifts" to members, per the New Haven Register. Apparently, Hamburg was involved with a pyramid scheme "in a big way," Jeffrey says. "Somebody knows something," a woman says in it. The trailer for the four-part series is chilling. That same day,Hamburg was supposed to appear in court to discuss her ex-husband, Jeffrey Hamburg’s, claim that he could not afford to pay child support and alimony.Īfter a decade searching for answers with no avail, Hamburg’s son, filmmaker Madison Hamburg, made the docuseries and spoke to several family members, in an effort to piece together what happened to his mom. Hamburg was found in her yard, bludgeoned to death, but no suspect has ever been named in the case and no charges have been made. HBO's new true crime documentary series, Murder on Middle Beach, delves into what led to the murder of Barbara Hamburg on March 3, 2010.
