Trail of a Killer

A woman is murdered on a jogging trail in the middle of the day. The leads from cell phone records and search dogs go nowhere. Nine days later, a witness tells police about a chance encounter, and cigarette butts which may contain the killer’s DNA.

Fate Date

Twenty-four hours after her face-to-face meeting with a man she met online, the woman and her soon-to-be ex-husband were shot to death. Only the computer had been taken from her home, and with it, the means to identify the killer.

Crimes of Passion

Nothing is off limits when Forensic Files  needs to tackle a crime of passion.

Textbook Murder

The victim was brutally murdered. Police learn her fiancé was having affairs with other women, and he becomes the prime suspect… until a man comes forward who not only believes he owns the murder weapon, he also knows who used it.

Filtered Out

A teenager goes missing, and her body is discovered 17 days later at the bottom of an isolated ravine. Police find a shell casing, a filter torn from a cigarette and a muddy footprint on the victim’s shirt which they hope will lead to the killer.

Water Logged

The bodies of three women were found floating in Tampa Bay. The water washed away any evidence, but police hoped a handwritten note found in the victims’ car would lead to the killer – so they posted huge copies of the note on five highway billboards.

Low Maintenance

A young college student is found dead in her apartment. There are no obvious signs of foul play, but skin cells under her fingernails yield DNA of an unknown male suspect, and petechial hemorrhages in her eyes prove this is a homicide.
