The true-crime series Payback returns this week with a case that begins with a grim discovery on the side of an interstate. In “A Fallen Angel,” airing Wednesday at 9:00 PM ET on TV One, investigators are faced with the challenge of identifying a young mother found deceased and piecing together the final moments of her life.
The episode opens with a sense of urgency, as law enforcement officials race against the clock to put a name to the victim. Without an identity, the investigation is at a standstill, leaving them with more questions than answers. The first half of the hour focuses on the painstaking process of identification, as detectives follow every available lead to uncover who she was.
Once her identity is confirmed, the case shifts to the circumstances surrounding her death. Investigators must determine how she ended up on the side of the road, a location far from where she was last seen. The episode explores the victim’s life, looking for clues that might point to a suspect.
Payback airs Wednesdays on TV One.
