Serial Killer Season
From Saturday 9 March at 22:00
America’s most horrific serial killers go under the spotlight with a series of documentaries exploring their stories, and how events unfolded. BTK: A Killer Among Us examines the longest-running serial killer in history whose 30-year reign of terror began in 1974 with one of the most brutal murders Wichita, Kansas had ever witnessed. The programme recounts the investigation that captured him, and the impact on the lives of everyone in his orbit - especially his daughter. In Deadly Legacy, detective Jason Moran reopens the case of one of America's most notorious serial killers, 'Killer Clown' John Wayne Gacy, to finally identify the eight victims who have gone without a name for decades. And, Bad Henry recounts how detective Garry McFadden beat the odds to find and capture serial killer, "Bad" Henry Louis Wallace.
Killing Time
From Thursday 14 March at 22:00
What happens in that critical, lost period of time between life and death on the day of a homicide? This compelling series focuses on those fateful moments, as detectives who worked the case recount their investigation step by step, revealing shocking discoveries that deepen the mystery at every turn. As suspects are identified and hours, minutes and seconds of the victim's last day slowly come to light, a window of missing time appears. Investigators use everything from surveillance footage to credit card statements to GPS data to piece together the rest of the timeline and solve the murder.
American Nightmare
From Wednesday 20 March at 22:00
From weddings to graduations, the best times of our lives normally go hand in hand with our warmest memories; they are moments to cherish for a lifetime. But, as this chilling series reveals, the all-American dream can become an unspeakable nightmare. Real-life home movies and photos of joyful moments and family events lie in stark contrast to the real crime scene video and 911 calls as they become tragic murder mysteries. Featuring first- person accounts from detectives investigating the crime, as well as the victims' family and friends, the series peels back the layers of each case to reveal how the horrific events unfolded.
The Lake Erie Murders
From Friday 29 March at 22:00
Ominously named for its violent and unpredictable nature, Lake Erie - which borders four US states and parts of Canada - is home to some of North America's darkest and deadliest murder cases. This series goes to the edge of the water and takes a deep dive into its most notorious mysteries. In 1975, high school student Debbie Gama disappears on her way to the beach at Lake Erie. When her body is discovered in a creek wrapped in wire, the ensuing investigation ends up uncovering more than her murderer, revealing a secret world of twisted sex, drugs, and sadomasochism. In 1993, Mother-of-three Joan Giambra is found strangled, lying naked under her comatose 11-year old daughter. The young girl becomes the only hope of catching a serial killer; but will she remember his identity before he comes back to silence her too? One thing is certain when it comes to Lake Erie, there is something about the water.
