In SCENE OF THE CRIME, investigative filmmaker Tony Harris ventures deep into small-town America to pull back the curtain on the often-nefarious players and foreboding places at the center of crimes that happened there. SCENE OF THE CRIME WITH TONY HARRIS sneak peeks Sunday, April 9 at 11/10c on ID, immediately following CASEY ANTHONY: AN AMERICAN MURDER MYSTERY, then continues in its regular timeslot of Sundays at 10/9c beginning Sunday, April 16. Then, in THE REAL STORY, join Univision News anchor Maria Elena Salinas as she digs for the true stories behind national headline-making crimes in search of new evidence, unheard perspectives, and updates to the cases.

"As the only network delivering crime content to fans 24/7, ID is working with America's leading journalists - including Paula Zahn, Tamron Hall, and Chris Hansen - to helm its newsmagazines and provide unparalleled in-depth coverage of the crimes that often shake towns and communities, captivating viewers across our nation," said Henry Schleiff, Group President of Investigation Discovery, Destination America, and American Heroes Channel. "With combined investigative careers of more than 60 years, Tony and Maria Elena's diverse experiences and points of view will bring fresh and exciting perspectives to our expanding audience." As SCENE OF THE CRIME WITH TONY HARRIS explores unbelievable injustices, Tony Harris travels into the heartland to hear personal accounts from victims, loved ones, and even the culprits themselves share heart-wrenching, sometimes deeply buried, reactions to the moment their lives turned upside down. His composed and calculated approach allows Harris to peel back the layers on what motivates some of our nation's most horrific acts of violence. In the sneak peek episode airing on April 9 at 11/10c, Harris revisits the story of 11-year-old Jodi Parrack who was found murdered in a cemetery in the tight-knit community of Constantine, Michigan. When police narrow in on Ray McCann, the officer who suggested they search the cemetery, it isn't until another young girl is attacked that police realize that they may have the wrong man. The episode unfolds through a series of personal stories as Harris interviews McCann himself, Parrack's mother, and neighbors who never imagined a crime like this could occur in their community.Videos
