The Real Story With María Elena Salinas

—Veteran journalist María Elena Salinas has made a name for herself in the Spanish-speaking community as a longtime news anchor on Univision. In this series, she goes from reporting the news to investigating it as she goes beyond the headlines to uncover the truth about headline-making crimes. Salinas attempts to remove the clutter that surrounds cases that were in the media spotlight and find information that the media originally missed when reporting on the stories as they were happening. In her searches, Salinas finds new evidence, gets previously unheard perspectives and provides updates to the cases.
