5STAR’s true-crime series Killer at the Crime Scene turns its lens on a puzzling case Wednesday at 9 PM GMT—one that starts like a medical mystery and quickly spirals into something far more sinister.
The subject is Autumn Klein, a successful neuroscientist who collapsed suddenly in her kitchen and was rushed to the very hospital where she worked. Initially, doctors suspected a stroke. But when scans and tests failed to explain her rapid decline, something more ominous came into focus. Anomalous blood samples, bright red in color, raised the alarm: Klein hadn’t fallen ill, she had been poisoned.
The case quickly pivots to a homicide investigation, leaving her colleagues and the authorities grappling with the possibility that one of their own was involved. The episode tracks the detective work and forensic analysis that unfolded after Klein’s death, peeling back the medical jargon to get to the heart of the mystery.
The series excels at blending the scientific and the human—showing how forensic teams work alongside detectives to bring clarity to unexplained deaths. This installment seems particularly potent given the victim’s background and the shockwaves her murder sent through the community.
Killer at the Crime Scene airs Wednesday at 9:00 PM GMT on 5STAR.
