Plot Synopsis

In the wake of every murder, clues appear. Some are easy to spot, and some are well-hidden. MURDER DECODED tells the forensics-driven stories of committed investigators, from finding the tiniest trace evidence, to using cutting-edge science to understand its relevance. The investigators in MURDER DECODED work to decipher which clues mean nothing and which ones will put a killer behind bars all to bring justice to victims' loved ones. In the series opener, "Footsteps in Blood," a man calls 911 when he finds blood inside a friend;s home. Officers enter to find a beloved community activist shot dead. Detectives piece together clues -- bloody footprints, bullet fragments, a credit card trail -- to find a cold-blooded murderer.
