Family of shooting survivor says 'defamatory' true-crime doc painted Olympic equestrian shooter as real victim

The family of the New Jersey woman who made headlines after she was shot by her Olympic equestrian trainer is condemning the case’s portrayal in a pair of true crime documentaries, alleging the coverage is biased and leans in favor of her attacker. 

Netflix’s 2026 documentary titled "Untold: The Shooting at Hawthorne Hill" and a 2022 episode of CBS News’ "48 Hours" follows the harrowing story of Lauren Kanarek, a dressage rider who was shot twice in the chest by Olympian Michael Barisone outside his Long Valley farm in 2019.
