Killer Unknown is a true crime series that premiered on Investigation Discovery in 2018. The show focuses on homicide investigations where the killer is initially unknown to law enforcement, but through diligent investigative work, they are ultimately identified and brought to justice.

Each episode features a different case, all of which involve brutal and heinous crimes. Through interviews with law enforcement officials, family members, and other individuals involved in the investigation, the viewer is taken on a journey through the investigative process.

The show highlights just how difficult it can be to solve these types of cases, as there are often no witnesses and little to no physical evidence. However, through the use of forensic techniques and innovative investigative tactics, detectives are able to piece together the clues that ultimately lead them to the perpetrator.

One case that is featured in the show involves the murder of a young woman named Carol Anne Burger. In 1978, Burger disappeared from her apartment in New Jersey and was later found dead in a nearby park. Despite numerous leads, the case remained unsolved for over 30 years.

However, in 2010, a detective in the New Jersey State Police Cold Case Unit decided to take a fresh look at the case. Through advanced DNA testing, they were able to identify a suspect, who was eventually convicted of the murder.

Another case that is featured in the show involves the murder of a family of three in a small town in Ohio. The crime occurred in 2016 and rocked the town to its core. The victims were a mother, father, and their teenage daughter. At first, the crime appeared to be a random act of violence, but as detectives dug deeper, they uncovered a twisted plot involving jealousy and betrayal.

The show is not just about the investigation, but also about the impact that these crimes have on the families of the victims. They are often left grappling with the tragedy for years, and sometimes even decades, without any answers. The show provides a voice for these families and sheds light on the difficult and emotional journey that they have been forced to endure.

Killer Unknown is a compelling and gripping true crime series that is sure to captivate anyone interested in criminal investigations. The cases are all unique, and the investigative work that goes into them is truly impressive. The show also highlights the dedication and hard work of the law enforcement officials who are tasked with solving these crimes, as well as the strength and resilience of the families of the victims.

Overall, Killer Unknown is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys true crime television. It offers a unique and fascinating look at some of the most difficult and complex homicide cases in recent history, and it does so in a way that is both informative and entertaining.
