In response to the COVID-19 crisis and the loss of employment of artists across the country, actors Olivia Valli and Fiona McIntyre have released What's Your Backup Plan? to highlight ways in which artists have found inspiration in between jobs, created their own businesses, and reimagined the path to a fulfilling career.

It all starts with a 911 call. Police direct officers to the scene; body cams are activated, and dashboard video is engaged.  Roll tape.  Police encounter the crime scene in its entirety and record every corner, but they need more information.  Suspects are taken to interrogation rooms, witnesses share their impressions, and family members' reactions are recorded.  Law enforcement narrow in on an answer to the crime, and they know they have one tool to thank. In these cases, memories may be fallible, but the tapes are forever.  THE MURDER TAPES premieres on Wednesday, August 28th at 10/9ct, only on Investigation Discovery.
