| description | In the 21st century, true crime documentaries have had a greater presence in the field of consumption and distribution of audiovisual content, fostering a media debate on the judicial cases presented within their narrative content. By trying to carry out a detailed reconstruction and monitoring of different real events that led to police tragedies, this type of documentaries fosters a close link between cinematographic reproduction and reality that has revitalized contemporary documentary practice from an ethical point of view. Through the case study of The Jinx: the life and death of Robert Durst, a true crime documentary that has had important relevance in the recent public and judicial sphere, we propose to analyze the link between the documentary and reality from the triadic model of the sign proposed by Charles Sanders Peirce, and specifically, on how secondness is a mode of meaning that gives documentary filmmaking the ability to transfer the textures of reality to an indexical level. |

En el siglo XXI, los documentales true crime han tenido una mayor presencia en el ámbito de consumo y distribución de contenidos audiovisuales, propiciando un debate a nivel mediático sobre los casos judiciales presentados dentro de su contenido narrativo. Al tratar de realizar una reconstrucción y un seguimiento pormenorizado de distintos hechos reales que desembocaron en tragedias de índole policial, este tipo de documentales propician un vínculo estrecho entre la representación cinematográfica y lo real que ha revitalizado la práctica documental contemporánea desde un punto de vista ético. A través del estudio de caso de The Jinx: the life and deaths of Robert Durst, documental true crime que ha tenido importante relevancia en la esfera pública y judicial reciente, nos proponemos analizar el vínculo del documental con la realidad desde el modelo triádico del signo propuesto por Charles Sanders Peirce, y concretamente, sobre cómo la segundidad es un modo de significación que le otorga capacidad a la realización documental para trasladar las texturas de lo real a un nivel indicial.
