'The Perfect Neighbor': Is Susan Lorincz Actually a Doctor?

"Susan Lorincz's life is being thrust into the spotlight following the release of Netflix's The Perfect Neighbor, which documents the two years leading up to the shooting death of Ajike Owens in June 2023. Lorincz is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence for killing Owens, her former neighbor, after calling 911 on her children, whom she'd gotten into an altercation with earlier that day."

"In the two years before Owens' death, Lorincz had called 911 on neighborhood children, including Owens', at least half a dozen times, according to CBS News. The Perfect Neighbor is told almost entirely through body cam footage, which included one early scene of Lorincz telling an officer, "I am a single woman. I work from home." In footage from another night, she told another officer about an exchange she had with a child in the neighborhood"
