· Both parts of "The Trailside Killer" Premieres Sunday, April 16 starting at 9/8c

From 1979-1981, the popular hiking trails of Northern California became the setting of a terrifying mystery. A man known as the Trailside Killer was raping and killing women in a place they had always felt safe. The cold-blooded attacks stunned the community and frustrated law enforcement.

· Both parts of "The Slave Master" Premieres Sunday, April 23 starting at 9/8c

Beginning in the mid 80's, women in the Kansas City vicinity began vanishing. They had nothing in common, except, an odd connection to a man named John Robinson. He seemed to be a perfect father, husband, and businessman. But in reality, Robinson was a sinister serial killer, who nicknamed himself the, "Slavemaster." With a penchant for BDSM (Bondage, Discipline, Sado-Masochism), he evaded arrest for nearly two decades by using elaborate cover ups and his sinister silver tongue. Robinson, among the first killers to use the internet as a stalking ground for victims, unfortunately claimed eight victims before an intense police sting operation could bring him down.
