Serial Killer Sundays Are Headed Your Way On Investigation Discovery Africa In April 2019 Alongside One Of America's Best Moments That End In Tragedy

Serial Killer Sundays
Sunday April 7 and Sunday April 14 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: The Hunt For A Killer 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 and the impact on those affected. 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. Bad Henry recounts how detective Garry McFadden beat the odds to find and capture serial killer, "Bad" Henry Louis Wallace. And, Atlanta Child Murders explores a tragic chapter in the city’s history, where over a two-year period at least 29 black children and young adults from low income neighbourhoods were murdered in 1980s Atlanta.

Hometown Homicide
From Wednesday 10 April at 23:00
Using the urgency and intimacy of local news footage, this powerful series tells the stories of murder investigations that turned small towns and communities upside down. Through TV news reports, family photos, and police archive, TV reporters, family, friends, and investigators recount the stories of families and communities affected by shocking crimes. From a possible serial killer on the loose in a small southern US town after a teenage girl was found dead in her home in broad daylight, to the disappearance of a popular high school teacher in southwestern Michigan, these chilling cases proved that sometimes the smallest towns are the settings for the most horrendous crimes.

American Nightmare
From Saturday 20 April 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.

Betrayed
From Friday 26 April at 22:00
This series follows the lives of apparently normal people who aren't aware their days are numbered. The clock ticks on their lives, as family, friends, and lovers start to reveal hidden jealousies and wicked secrets, all leading to the ultimate betrayal - murder. Narrated from the perspective of the victims and featuring dramatic reconstructions, this series reveals how these devastating cases unfolded. The shocking murder of beautiful actress Pasinetta Prince by an obsessive and controlling ex-lover and waitress Corey Parker's death at the hands of her neighbour are amongst the chilling cases this season. Nothing is as it seems in these tragic and shocking cases of betrayal; and what the victims don't realise is the decisions they make lead them to a tragic end.
