Countdown to Murder

Each hourlong episode of `Countdown to Murder' details the last days leading up to a murder from the perspectives of both the killer and the victim. Dramatic reconstructions and personal testimony from witnesses help to pinpoint what set the murder into motion. The programme also offers a psychological analysis into the plans that the perp formulated to lure or trick the victim. Detailed crime reports, forensic evidence and commentary from criminologists, pathologists and journalists also help to paint the complete picture of what happened leading up to the grisly event.
