The assistant manager of the restaurant had been stabbed to death. Police knew why he’d been killed: $8,000 was missing from the safe. As to who was responsible, his family and friends couldn’t even imagine who’d want to hurt him.
The victim was well liked and successful, which made the brutality of the crime hard to understand. She’d written a name on the wall, presumably that of the killer, in her own blood. But to catch the killer, police would have to read between the lines.
A college co-ed simply vanishes, and her fellow students are concerned about her safety… and their own. Weeks later, when a body is discovered 700 miles away in the ashes of a barn fire, an alert police officer realizes the two crimes might be connected.
Two women who lived in the same apartment complex were brutally murdered. The similarities of the crime scenes led police to believe they were dealing with a serial killer who hated women, and they had to find him before he struck again.
The teen’s parents weren’t really worried. She’d run away before, and they were sure she’d be back... but they were wrong. She was found on the side of the road, with her throat slit. Would a single hair lodged in a defensive wound lead to her killer?
A bullet-riddled car, a missing driver, and no witnesses. Was this an ambush or a random attack? Had the victim been abducted or was she dead? The answers lay in a unique clue, so tiny it was measured in millionths of a meter.
Doctors don’t know why the young scientist is gravely ill. When tests finally reveal the cause, it’s too late to save him. Police hope that lab analysis of his hair, showing when attempts were made on his life and what was used, will lead to the killer.
Even though the victim was burned beyond recognition, police were able to create a composite sketch from his remains and identify him. But knowing who he was isn’t enough. Investigators still had to determine where he was killed and who wanted him dead.
The victim had been stabbed more than a hundred times; her bedroom was blood-soaked. While her body was positioned in a suggestive way, she hadn’t been sexually assaulted. Was this a sex crime, or the random act of a man with an intense hatred of women?
There was no apparent reason for the young, healthy college student to be dead. But when the medical examiner found the tiniest of clues during the autopsy, investigators were able to unravel the mystery of betrayal and revenge.
A serial bomber was on the loose in Illinois. Two churches had been bombed and one person was killed. Investigators had to stop the perpetrator before he struck again... and they hoped to find him by following a thin copper wire.
Two suspects living together were linked to a murder by bloodstained boots and a gun – items that belonged to the one who claimed he’d never met the victim. Police hoped the manufacturing code on beer bottles would prove who was telling the truth.
After he got inside, the assailant used an ax to kill the husband and critically injure his wife. Nothing was taken; this wasn’t a robbery. DNA from skin cells collected hundreds of miles away would reveal the killer’s identity and his motive for murder.
The woman in the back of the truck was flailing her arms, screaming. They thought she was doing something dangerous for the fun of it. But when they found a jacket near a pool of blood, they knew what they’d seen wasn’t a joy ride; it was an abduction.
A family vacation becomes a nightmare when the wife is found face-down in the lake. Determining the manner of her death proves to be difficult... until a forensic pathologist uses a groundbreaking technique to discover the truth.
The victim was a self-made man who never minced words. Perhaps he was murdered by a disgruntled employee. Perhaps the racy photos in his safe held the clue to solving the crime. Or perhaps investigators could follow the money and find the killer.
The woman was sexually assaulted, stabbed, and left for dead. She survived and provided a description of her attacker. When someone who fit the description came forward, police were sure they had their man... until the DNA evidence proved them wrong.
What looks like a casual meeting is actually an abduction, leading to murder. The MO is similar to a murder which occurred 5 months earlier. When investigators learn the crimes might not be random, they also realize a serial killer may be on the loose.
When a nine-year-old girl goes missing, police and volunteers spend weeks searching for her. A psychic’s vision leads to a field where her body is discovered, along with what investigators hope is enough evidence to also find her killer.
A woman attends evening church services... then disappears. Eyewitnesses see her getting into a van, but their descriptions of the vehicle don’t match. Three days later her body is discovered, and the search for the driver of that van intensifies.
The victim has been stabbed more than thirty times, and the crime scene is awash with blood. Near her head, police discover a distinctive button. If they can find the owner of the shirt the button came from, they’ll also find the killer.
A serial rapist is on the loose in a Texas town. No one knows where he’ll strike next, but the audacity of his attacks and the escalation of violence against his victims make finding him imperative.
A college student is reported missing, and police discover blood spatter in her boyfriend’s bedroom – blood spatter someone has gone to great lengths to conceal.
After the college co-ed vanished, the kidnapper called and said he'd soon tell them what he wanted for her return. He never called, and she was never seen again. Ten years later, tiny metal particles would implicate the man who'd been a suspect all alone.
