Crave’s “Crime Scene Investigators” presents a fresh perspective on the true crime docudrama genre, this week focusing on a small-town murder mystery that unfolds piece by piece through forensic evidence. Airing this Monday at 12:00 AM ET, “The Dead Divorcee” presents a puzzle box of clues for detectives to assemble.
The case begins with the discovery of a devout Catholic divorcee’s body in her Pennsylvania home. What initially seems like a straightforward investigation quickly turns complicated. Detectives must connect seemingly disparate pieces of evidence: a silver van spotted near the scene, a .32-caliber shell casing found inside the house, and envelopes stuffed with cash discovered in the victim’s possession.
“Crime Scene Investigators” stands out for its focus on forensic science, providing a step-by-step breakdown of how investigators use blood spatter patterns, digital fingerprints, and other evidence to reconstruct the crime. Each fragment, no matter how small, plays a vital role in solving the puzzle and eventually exposing the murderer.
Tune in to Crave this Monday to see how the intricate web of forensic evidence ultimately leads to the truth.
