A&E’s The First 48: Room Full of Lies gives us a double dose of real-life crime drama, with a stark statement that the clock starts ticking the moment a homicide occurs. In Mobile, Alabama, a man’s shooting sparks a city-wide manhunt for a suspect who violated a friendship in the worst possible way. Simultaneously, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, detectives face a different kind of tragedy: a violent killing within the confines of a family home.
As the hours tick by, the pressure mounts for both teams of investigators. They’ll need to sift through the chaos, gather evidence, and identify suspects before the trails go cold. From crime scenes to autopsies, from forensic labs to interrogation rooms, The First 48: Room Full of Lies offers unflinching access to the nitty-gritty of homicide investigations. It’s a raw, unfiltered look at the work detectives do, often under immense pressure and with limited time.
The First 48: Room Full of Lies airs Thursday, January 2nd at 8:00 PM on A&E.
