Investigation Discovery's new series, STOLEN VOICES, BURIED SECRETS shares the unique perspective of the victim through fictionalized, first-person narration based on the facts of each case. While the all-seeing narrator knows who was responsible, the series creatively allows viewers to piece together who is the culprit based on clues from investigators, family and friends as each story unfolds. The world premiere of STOLEN VOICES, BURIED SECRETS is Monday, January 10 at 10 PM ET on Investigation Discovery. The first two weeks of STOLEN VOICES, BURIED SECRETS feature 30 minute episodes back to back from 10-11 PM ET.

"With a plethora of murder-mystery series on television today, the production team at Investigation Discovery consistently challenge themselves to evolve their storytelling techniques. The latest result of our commitment to quality storytelling is STOLEN VOICES, BURIED SECRETS, which shares stories from the perspective of the victim through suspenseful narration that sends chills down the spines of audiences," said Henry Schleiff, president and general manager of Investigation Discovery.

In the world premiere episode of STOLEN VOICES, BURIED SECRETS, Ali Kemp, a 19-year-old college student, is found beaten to death in the local swimming pool's pump room. After three years of an intense manhunt, apparent DNA evidence and seemingly reliable witnesses, investigators have failed to solve Ali's murder. But Ali's father refuses to give up and eventually helps crack the case by appealing to a national audience. While investigators and family members search for the truth, Ali's fictionalized narration pleads for them to follow the facts from her perspective - before her killer strikes again. Other unique voices profiled in STOLEN VOICES, BURIED SECRETS include a woman who fell victim to an apparent robbery gone wrong or possibly a sinister lover; a hometown bar owner who may have slipped into a web of a deadly gang rivalry; and a minister's wife who perished in a house fire, which may not have been accidental.

STOLEN VOICES, BURIED SECRETS is produced by Sirens Media for Investigation Discovery with Valerie Haselton and Rebecca Toth as executive producers. For Investigation Discovery, Diana Sperrazza is executive producer, Sara Kozak is vice president of production and Henry Schleiff is president and general manager.
