A&E’s “The First 48 Presents Critical Minutes” returns to Miami this Thursday, revisiting some of the most chilling cases from the city’s crime files. “Close to Home” isn’t just a collection of recaps; it connects seemingly disparate cases through a common theme – the unexpected ties that bind them.
One case features a retired police captain who is shot in Miami, an incident that triggers an investigation reaching all the way to New Jersey. What connection links the Sunshine State and the Garden State? The episode also revisits the tragic double homicide of a corrections officer and her two-year-old son, murdered in their Miami home.
Hosted by former “First 48” detectives, “Critical Minutes” offers an insider’s look at the investigative process, revisiting the crucial early moments of these cases that often determine whether justice will be served. The episode examines the clues, the interviews, and the turning points that led to solving – or, in some cases, failing to solve – these horrible crimes.
Tune in to A&E this Thursday, April 17th at 8:00 PM for a 60-minute deep dive into Miami’s criminal past.
