Blood Brothers
Life has not been kind to Peter Maurek. Grief-stricken over the recent losses in his life, Peter has those closest to him worried - nobody more so than his older brother, Greg. Greg is up late, on Mother's Day 2005, when Peter stumbles into the family home drunk and belligerent. A fight breaks out between brothers, and moments later a single gunshot sails through the Oklahoma night. Is this a tragic case of suicide or deadly fraternal passion? The forensic experts on each side battle it out.

Over The Edge
Fall comes quickly in northern Michigan. Mark and Florence Unger - and their two young boys - have vacationed in this part of the state for years. But the tranquility of the lake erupts early one morning when a frantic neighbor calls 911 to report the unthinkable: Florence Unger has been found floating face down in the lake. Did Florence drown, meeting an accidental death, or did an unraveling marriage end in murder? Now an infantry of experts on both sides will take the stand to prove that forensics can tell two very different stories.

Up In Flames
A fiery inferno lights up the dark South Florida sky. Amanda Alley, sleeping peacefully in her bed just moments before, is awakened engulfed in flames. As her roommates scramble to escape the flames, Amanda's married lover suddenly appears outside to lend a hand. Tragically, they are too late and Amanda perishes in the blaze. As firemen sift through the scene, a strong odor of gasoline fills the room. Could this gas have started the deadly blaze? And what was her lover doing outside at such an odd hour? Watch as renowned forensic experts use the same evidence to come to vastly different conclusions and determine whether Amanda's death was the result of an accident, or arson.

Thou Shalt Not Kill
When the wife of a small-town minister overdoses and drowns, investigators immediately suspect a suicide. But things aren't always as they seem, and the Rev. Bill Guthrie is soon arrested and charged with his wife's murder. Now, two teams of experts will go head to head to determine whether this is a case of tragic suicide or of a servant of God becoming a cold-blooded killer. As a South Dakota town reels from the death of a beloved neighbor, two sisters are split over their father's guilt or innocence. The divide widens when a jury ultimately decides what really happened to Sharon Guthrie.

Caught On Tape
On a rainy October night in 2006, flames erupt out of the seventh floor of a downtown Baltimore apartment building. Within minutes firefighters arrive to quell the flames, but inside they find the badly beaten body of makeup artist Marcus Rogers. He is rushed to the hospital but does not survive the vicious attack. Investigators concentrate their investigation on surveillance footage from the lobby of the building. Minutes before the fire alarm goes off, a man is seen exiting the building in a leather coat with fur trim. Could this be the same man seen entering the building with the victim earlier that day, or is it pure coincidence? Experts analyze the footage and the crime scene and come to two stunningly different conclusions.

Nature's Evidence
Two children vanish under their stepfather's watchful eye. Two months later, their badly decomposing remains are discovered near a local cemetery. Police suspect their stepfather is behind the murders. Using insect and seed evidence, experts for the prosecution say they can prove it. But there are two sides to every story. And when the defense takes over, they say the same evidence clears their client and the real killer is still out there. It's a case that rests on Mother Nature. Watch as two sets of forensic experts battle over the biological evidence.
