Motives & Murders: Cracking the Case

—Maybe it's the jealous ex, the co-worker seeking revenge, or perhaps a predator with an appetite for blood? Whatever the motives, crimes are most often solved by relentless investigators searching for the truth and following clues wherever they may lead. This series explores the emotional stories of those attempting to find closure in homicide investigations, from the victims' families to the dedicated police officers. Hourlong episodes present compelling versions of what may have happened and stylized re-enactments of events from different perspectives as new evidence emerges.
