True crime happens every day. You hear about it on the news then it goes straight to weather. That's no fun. We want more. Tell us exactly how it went down, the motives, and the investigation's suspicions. We don't have time to go to the trial and review the evidence ourselves. Luckily, these shows provide in-depth coverage on the stories that shock the public. It's a dark world we live in and we want to know what goes on in it. Take a seat and unwind in your own home.

Forensic Files

Forensic Files analyzes every piece of a crime, even if the evidence is not visible to the naked eye. A long time favorite broadcast that originally released back in 1996. The episodes are short and sweet, yet keeps every you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Spanning 406 episodes, you'll be sure to be engross in every detail of this documentary-style series . "No Witnesses. No Leads. No Problem."

Deadly Women

Deadly Women is a exclusive Investigation Discovery series that focuses on women who commit heinous crimes. Each episode shares four accounts of femme fatale. Watch each dramatized tale spun by hand. Not every bad guy is just that. This year, the series celebrates 13 years on air. Go show it some love. I'm sure it'll show you some back.

Sword & Scale (Podcast)

Sword & Scale is a truly immersive podcast on horrific acts. Now, this show in particular is not for the faint heart, they spare none of the details on even the most disgusting crimes. It launched back in January of 2014 and has skyrocketed from there. The full 911 calls, confession tapes, detailed descriptions about the mutilation of a victim with personal touches from the narrator's point of view. It's a fantastic show that is dedicated to the listeners and justice on crimes of the past and the ones you hear about everyday. A true thriller.

The First 48

It's said that the first 48 hours since a crime is committed are the most important. If it is not solved in that window of time the chance of the case being solves drops significantly. This show takes you behind-the-scene with detectives during this critical time. From the crime scene, interrogations and forensic processing you'll feel just as involved in the case as the investigators.

Who the (Bleep) Did I Marry?

Ah, first comes love, then comes marriage...then comes what?!?! Truly, a twist occurs when you find out your spouse is not what they seem. No, they turn out to be worst nightmare. Infidelity to foul play is just the icing of the wedding cake. The first-hand accounts of how happily ever after turned to a world of deception and fear.
