Making A Serial Killer

Forensic scientists work with a variety of methods (i.e. computer technology, anthropology, entomology) to solve crimes which would otherwise remain unsolved, through finding seemingly obscure clues such as tire tracks, bullet fragments and hair samples and then putting the pieces together. Interviews with forensic pathologists, cold case detectives and victims families show the process entailed in each case. Three separate cases are spotlighted in each episode of this series.

Through victims, friends and family, journalists, and police accounts, the series examines the lives and crimes of prisoners so dangerous that being locked up just gave them a captive victim pool.

"Murdered at First Sight" is a true crime series that tells the shocking stories of people who were killed by someone they had never met.

Video footage collected from police and security cameras demonstrating that most crimes are not perpetrated by evil geniuses. Highlights included crooks who use bags as masks but forget to cut holes for their eyes, burglars who have to call 911 after being trapped in the houses they were robbing, and thieves who try to make a fast getaway only to find they locked their keys in their cars.

An amnesiac might be a key figure in Detective Mackenzie Stone's search for his own wife, who disappeared five years ago.
