Hunted by My Husband: The Untold Story of the DC Sniper

Hunted by My Husband: The Untold Story of the DC Sniper is a crime documentary that examines the 2002 attacks in the Washington area through the perspective of Mildred Muhammad. The film focuses on her testimony, which suggests the shootings were not random acts but part of a deliberate plan created by her former husband, John Muhammad. According to the narrative, the violence stemmed from a pattern of domestic abuse, psychological manipulation, and a desire for control. The story details how the perpetrator aimed to kill his ex-wife to secure custody of their children, showing a disregard for the lives of innocent bystanders. The production also addresses how the public, media, and legal systems failed to identify early warning signs of coercive control and financial abuse.

Produced by Investigation Discovery, the film features Mildred Muhammad and the DC Sniper appearing as themselves. This 83-minute documentary uses interviews and previously unreleased family footage to build its case. Since its release on October 28, 2025, the film has been available to audiences interested in the intersection of domestic violence and high-profile criminal cases.
