Investigation Discovery's VANITY FAIR CONFIDENTIAL will take on some of the iconic magazine's most explosive reporting on crime and SCANDAL when the hit series returns for its fourth season on Monday, February 5 at 9/8c, only on ID. From production company Truly Original and Condé Nast Entertainment, the series takes viewers deep inside the Vanity Fair vaults for a closer look into some of the esteemed publication's most shocking stories, featuring exclusive interviews with those closest to each case - including insights from the Vanity Fair writers and editors who worked on the original articles.
In the season four premiere, the show will delve into University of Virginia graduate Liz Seccuro's decades-long search for justice following a college sexual assault. Other episodes this season examine how the drug-related death of a teenager led to the unraveling of the first-ever
DARK NET market, "Silk Road;" the mystifying story behind cult author J.T. LeRoy's meteoric rise to literary stardom; the suspicious vanishing of Scientology's "First Lady," Shelly Miscaviage; and the murder charges brought against
MARLON Brando's son, Christian, among other stories.
