Crave’s “Crime Scene Investigators” takes a hard look at the murder of 25-year-old professional cyclist Moriah (Mo) Wilson in “Unhappy Trails,” airing Monday, May 19. This isn’t your typical true-crime procedural, though. The series leans heavily into the forensic science, letting the tangible evidence drive the narrative.
The execution-style killing of Wilson in Austin, Texas, immediately suggested a targeted attack. The episode lays out the investigation as it happened, presenting the clues – blood spatter, ballistic reports, tire tracks – visually, allowing viewers to engage with the evidence alongside the detectives. The approach seeks to take the audience beyond mere speculation and into the realm of hard data.
Investigators determined the murder was more than likely personal, implying a targeted attack as opposed to a random act of violence. The question becomes, who would want Wilson dead, and why? “Unhappy Trails” explores both the meticulous examination of the crime scene and the efforts to understand the victim’s life, piecing together a puzzle that leads to a shocking revelation.
