NO STONE IS LEFT UNTURNED AND NO PIECE OF EVIDENCE IS TOO SMALL FOR EXTREME FORENSICS
- Brand new season with more real-life cases, premiering this month -

Enter a world where everyone is a suspect. Where everyday items can be murderous weapons and tranquil locations transform into terrifying crime scenes. With barely any clues left at the crime scene, only the sharpest minds and cutting-edge science can solve these shocking puzzlers. Raw, real and unbelievably riveting, tune in to real forensic drama on.

An old blood stain, a strand of hair, and a chipped tile - how can these seemingly insignificant items help solve crimes? With today's state-of-the-art equipment and methods, sometimes a footprint or fingernail - and many other "everyday" items left behind after the deed - could be all it takes to convict a criminal. EXTREME FORENSICS reveals why and how technology has become an important weapon in the modern crime solver's arsenal.

Using whatever clues they have, forensic scientists work with detectives to search for and examine physical traces which could help establish an association between a suspect and a crime. Every little clue obtained is a vital piece of the puzzle, and nothing is too small or obscure. Follow the investigative trail as detectives use EXTREME FORENSICS to solve complex crimes in the following episodes:

Road Trip Killers 
In a quiet Mississippi River town, a 55-year old civil war buff vanishes into thin air. Months later and hundreds of miles away, a skull is found buried in cement at a truck stop and another mystery unfolds.

Workin' Hard for the Money 
In a cramped New Jersey motel room, eight shots ring out and two construction workers lay dead. There are no witnesses and no apparent motive, but police do uncover one key piece of evidence which puts them on the trail of a heartless killer.

Out of the Ashes 
A picture-perfect lakeside community in rural Minnesota is suddenly sent reeling when a 19 year-old woman disappears. Detectives turn to a solar physicist using NASA technology to identify a killer with a burning desire.

Running for Her Life 
A 15-year old girl in a race for her life is savagely beaten and killed in an Ohio cemetery. To catch this killer forensic experts must do the impossible: come up with a DNA sample when none exists.

Illegal Illusion 
The Columbia Rive Gorge is the pristine setting for a bone-crushing car accident, involving evidence that does not add up. When a doctor examines the young victim, the mystery only deepens.  

Deep in the Heart of Murder 
The body of a missing man turns up in the scrub brush of Lone Star cattle country - at least some of it does. The entire case depends on the findings of a toxicologist who has never worked on a murder case before.

Ride to Death 
A small town in Canada is turned upside down when a local girl goes missing. The search comes to a horrific end when a young girl is found raped and strangled in the woods near her home.

Rooted in Murder 
Three construction workers, left murdered in the barn of a palatial estate, are the innocent victims of a crime that has authorities completely baffled. Was this a burglary gone wrong or something even more devious?

Deadly Obsession 
19 year-old college student Jodi Sanderholm vanishes much to the bewilderment of family and friends. Jodi's dance team provides a crucial name in the investigation and the entire case hinges on a single arm hair that may crack the case.

Backfired 
29 year-old Leann Fletcher is shot to death in her bedroom and Dawn Fletcher, an aspiring missionary from Washington is savagely raped and killed while house sitting. Could their killers walk away scot free?

Murder in Madison
In Madison, Wisconsin, 31 year-old pacemaker salesman Joel Marino is found brutally murdered in an alleyway next to his house. The weapon? A simple paring knife.

Playing With Fire 
82 year-old Lou Edna Jones dies in an arson-related fire set to her own home and when authorities start digging, they learn it is the work of a serial arsonist.

Vanishing Man 
In Newburgh, New York, short order cook Dominick Pendino vanishes right in front of his home. In another story, four teens find a badly beaten body deep in the woods outside Raleigh, North Carolina.
