Cry Wolfe is an American television show created for Investigation Discovery.

[2] Wolfe was initially hired to work as a private investigator in several episodes of Nathan for You.

[3] After his appearance, he was contacted by Karga Seven Pictures who were looking to do a show about an LA private investigator.

[4] Brian Lowry from Variety considered the show's presentation style to be deceptive and misleading, using shaky hand-held video and a "faux camera crew" to give the impression that the footage was not a reenactment.

[5] Others enjoyed the more "playful" take on the topic, in contrast to the other true crime shows on Investigation Discovery.
