The true-crime docuseries returns with new one-hour episodes following Coben as he guides audiences through gripping tales of murder to meticulously reveal hidden truths, deceptions, and lies. This series will provide an in-depth look at stories in which nothing is as it seems.
Season 1 featured 5 different cases, which can currently be streamed via Paramount+. A new list of cases will be released at a later time.
Season 1 cases are:
Billy & Billy Jean- When police find a couple murdered in their home, the investigation leads to social media. Detectives discover a bizarre cyberbullying conflict with a neighboring family and the possible covert involvement of a CIA agent driven by personal vengeance.
Gambler’s Debt- When Anna Mae, a wildly successful businesswoman, is found stabbed in her untouched home, detectives face a tangle of suspects and shifting motives. Each lead – casinos, hidden debts and even a fugitive linked to her family – seems to crack the case, until new questions upend everything once again.
No Sign of Nancy- Everyone loved Nancy, living in wine country, but when she vanishes from her property while hosting a wedding, dozens of workers and guests are all suspects. But it will take months of painstaking detective work, and new technology called “geo fencing,” to finally find the elusive culprit.
Who Killed Joy?- Joy Hibbs’ husband and two children are devastated when they learn she died following a fire. They would later discover that the fire had not been the cause of her death – police instead found Hibbs had been stabbed multiple times. Who would want to kill Joy? The children were terrified that the killer would come back for them. Joy’s husband lived under the shadow of being the main suspect. For 20 years the case went cold. Then, a dedicated son got the cold case reopened, vowing, “I was not afraid to set the whole town on fire” to finally find the killer.
Shot in the Dark– At dawn, Melissa Oxley wakes up for work and finds herself in a nightmare: her husband, 36-year-old Ben Oxley – a native Hawaiian and accomplished water sports athlete – has been shot in the head while sleeping beside her. Melissa claims she never heard the gunshot. How could she not have heard the murder that happened inches away? Investigators found Melissa’s teenage brother, Craig, and Ben’s six-year-old daughter from a previous marriage, Alyssa, sound asleep. Investigators find a case built on silence, suspicion and a truth still buried.
