What if the person closest to you was a devil in disguise - would you see the signs? Investigation Discovery's all-new original series EVIL LIVES HERE explores the true, heart-stopping stories of people who shared a home and a life with a loved one who would become a killer. Premiering Sunday, January 17 at 10/9c, with exclusive interviews and never-before-told accounts of the years and critical moments leading up to these VICIOUS acts, EVIL LIVES HERE showcases the devastating and often undiscussed consequences on the people who have nurtured, loved and raised a murderer.
"What would you do if you discovered a potential killer lived in your home? We'd all like to think that we would, somehow, prevent their future malevolence - but through the heartbreaking and astonishingly raw narratives in EVIL LIVES HERE, viewers will realize that it's not always quite so simple," said Henry Schleiff, Group President, Investigation Discovery,
AMERICAN HEROES CHANNEL and Destination America. "Indeed, the families, friends and loved ones of a killer are often victims in their own right - and, ID is honored to share their unique perspective with our audience."
Each hour-long episode of this chilling psychological drama tells the harrowing, firsthand stories of living with a person who became a killer. Viewers will be put in the shoes of the loved one, who lived through this incredible experience - from first noticing that something is amiss, to interpreting all of the puzzling signs and clues, to eventually coming face-to-face with the horrible truth: that the person they loved, the person they trusted, has a very dark side.
In the premiere episode of EVIL LIVES HERE, Ronald Hawkins and Candace Sims exclusively open up about their son, Robbie, for the very first time. In December 2007, Robbie killed nine people - including himself - in a mass shooting at a mall in Omaha, Nebraska. Eight years later, Hawkins and Sims share their intimate insights and personal experiences from throughout Robbie's life, detailing everything from their past attempts to help him, to that awful day he committed a crime that shook the nation.
