Among the cases that will be featured in the 12-episode season is an in-depth look at the hunt for the “Golden State Killer” — also known as the “The East Area Rapist” and “The Original Nightstalker” — who is suspected of killing 12 people and sexually assaulting dozens of others in California in the ’70s and ’80s.

Other episodes will focus on 2-year-old DeOrr Kunz, who went missing in 2015 during a camping trip with his parents in Idaho; the mystery of the McStays, who all seemingly vanished without a trace in 2010; and the case of Dr. William Petit Jr. and his family, who were held captive in their Connecticut home in 2007.
