Program Description:
MURDER HOUSE takes viewers inside a unique program designed to train a new generation of crime scene investigators. Forensics professionals at Nebraska Wesleyan University stage a series of grisly crimes in the "Murder House," a learning facility where trainees work to uncover clues, process the crime scene, and draw conclusions about who, what, when and how the crime took place.
At the scene of a vicious beating and hanging, one team of trainees must determine if the murder is also a hate crime. Another team finds no victim at a scene, only a bloody mess left behind after a poker game. Finding the killer at these staged crimes means the difference between passing and failing.
In real life, though, the consequences are far greater. When an actual missing persons case turns into murder, the gripping documentary takes viewers along as a team of professional CSIs try to piece together the clues of this headline-grabbing crime. Investigators have a suspect in the murder of a young woman, but the young woman's body is missing. They must prepare an airtight case or the suspect will go free.
With its extraordinary behind-the-scenes access, MURDER HOUSE provides a rare and fascinating look into the world of crime scene investigation.
