Oxygen True Crime’s Dateline: Secrets Uncovered returns with a chilling exploration of a series of deadly shootings that terrorized the women of Laredo, Texas. In “The Streets of Laredo,” correspondent Josh Mankiewicz guides viewers through a complicated investigation that began in the summer of 2018.
The episode focuses on the initial stages of the investigation, highlighting the discovery of the first victim, Melissa Ramirez, found on a desolate road miles from downtown Laredo. Mankiewicz interviews key figures in the case, including lead investigator Captain Federico Calderon and District Attorney Isidro Alaniz, providing insights into the challenges faced by law enforcement. The families of the victims share their stories, adding a deeply personal dimension to the unfolding narrative.
While Dateline has often tackled cases involving singular acts of violence, the Laredo shootings present a different kind of puzzle. With Craig Melvin at the helm, “The Streets of Laredo” will feature the blend of investigative journalism and emotional storytelling that has become a trademark of the Dateline franchise.
Dateline: Secrets Uncovered airs Wednesdays at 8:00 PM on Oxygen True Crime.
