Investigation Discovery viewers coined the term 'ID Addicts' to describe our greatest and most passionate fans - those, who truly love ID's signature storytelling, to death," said Henry Schleiff, Group President, Investigation Discovery,
AMERICAN HEROES CHANNEL and Destination America. "ID Addicts have only multiplied over the years and, in fact, they've made us the #1 network for women, so the time is ripe to finally give them what they'd kill for - an exclusive, full-day date with the talent and brand they just can't ever get enough of."

HOMICIDE HUNTER Joe Kenda, HATE IN AMERICA's Tony Harris, KILLER INSTINCT's Chris Hansen, MIND OF A MURDERER's Michelle Ward and DEADLY WOMEN's Candice DeLong.
