Plot Synopsis

I, WITNESS is a one-hour series that showcases real-life murder investigations as seen through the eyes of one individual: the heartbroken sister, the restless detective, the dogged reporter, or any other person at the emotional and dramatic center of the case. But their point of view and the story they tell isn't necessarily the one viewers might expect. On January 1, 2017 at 7pm ET/PT, Investigation Discovery premiered a sneak-peek episode of I, WITNESS, just three days before the show's official series premiere on Wednesday, January 4 at 9pm. In the sneak-peek episode, "Last Dance," Cheryl Pierson's father is shot and killed on his driveway in 1986, leaving Cheryl and her siblings orphans. In pursuit of his murderer, detectives uncover an unholy family secret and an unlikely assassin. Then, in the series opener, "The Smith Sisters," Dawn Smith's sister disappears, shocking a small community. The kidnapper calls repeatedly, but not for ransom, for fun...with Dawn. Will her dance with the devil help police catch him and bring Shari back alive?
