The two-night event offers an in-depth look at the man and monster that was Jeffrey Dahmer with new and exclusive interviews from those closest to him, including parents Lionel and Shari Dahmer, who haven't spoken about this case or their son publicly in over 20 years, and surviving victims Billy Capshaw and Preston Davis, who have decided to finally break their silence about what happened to them.

Method of a Serial Killer

Among serial killers, Israel Keyes is an enigma. When police picked him up in Texas in March of 2012, it was for the murder of 18-year-old Samantha Koenig, whom he had brazenly kidnapped from a coffee stand in Anchorage, Alaska. Once in custody, however, he confessed to other murders and bank robberies and alluded to many more crimes. He ultimately claimed to have killed up to 11 victims between 2001 and 2012, but couldn't - or wouldn't - tell the authorities exactly when and where. He told them enough, however, for them to take him seriously. Then, in December 2012, after nine months in custody, he killed himself, taking his secrets with him to the grave.

The Disappearance of Maura Murray

1 Season
When bright, young nursing student Maura Murray vanished on February 9, 2004, witnesses heard what they thought was a car crash and then saw Maura outside her vehicle on the side of the road but, moments later, when police arrived on scene, she was gone. Her disappearance has fueled a legion of online armchair detectives, causing an endless procession of blogs, books, websites and podcasts. "The Disappearance of Maura Murray" follows investigative journalist Maggie Freleng as she attempts to unravel a rabbit hole of unexplored leads, eyewitness discrepancies, missing evidence and questionable actions. With rare access to Maura's family and friends, many who have remained silent for years, including father Fred Murray and siblings Julie, Kathleen and Kurt, Maggie enlists the help of former US Marshal, Art Roderick as they investigate one of the most complicated and mysterious cold cases of the last quarter century. Maggie explores numerous theories by meeting with the people who have dedicated countless hours in searching for the truth, including Lance Reenstierna and Tim Pilleri the duo behind the widely popular "Missing Maura Murray" podcast, as well as true crime author, James Renner whose book and website about Maura's disappearance sparked tremendous controversy. From retracing Maura's last known steps to following various leads, the series will take viewers on a journey of what really happened and tackle the many unanswered questions. Was this case mishandled? Did Maura choose to disappear or was she a victim of foul play?
