Crime Scene Investigators: The Dead Divorcee (Crave, Monday, May 5, 2025)

True Crime Time

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.
