Murder Masterminds: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Brand new and exclusive to Crime+Investigation, Murder Masterminds introduces viewers into all the emotion, drama, and suspense of America's most chilling murder trials. Weaving together interviews and gripping footage, it's an immersive true-crime roller coaster in two acts. At first, viewers play armchair detective as they hear from police officers, forensic experts, witnesses, and sometimes even the defendants themselves.

Then—with cameras inside the courtroom capturing every twist—the legal drama unfolds as the evidence stacks up and the final verdict is revealed. It's a journey through the criminal justice process, and every case has its own fascinating backstory where love, sex, betrayal, and greed can prove fatal.
