This Thursday, A&E’s “The First 48 Presents Critical Minutes” revisits three cases that left detectives scratching their heads. “Senseless” focuses on crimes that defy easy explanation, the kind of mysteries that stick with investigators long after the case files are closed. In one instance, an elderly woman is shot dead in her own home, leaving detectives with the baffling question: Who would want to harm this seemingly harmless individual? The episode will have you wondering if justice was ever served, who did it and why?
In another puzzling case, a seemingly random encounter leaves one man dead and another clinging to life in the hospital. The detectives are baffled by what initially seems to be a senseless act of violence. The episode explores the possibility of mistaken identity, gang activity or a personal feud gone wrong.
The detectives also search for the killer of a man shot point blank. Former “First 48” detectives host the show, providing insights into the investigations. The series presents cases with a common theme, in this case, the inexplicable nature of the crimes.
“The First 48 Presents Critical Minutes: Senseless” airs Thursday, May 15th at 8:00 PM ET on A&E.
