With only 15 percent of homicide detectives in the U.S. being women, the working lives of female detectives are not as well documented as those of their male counterparts. INSIDE HOMICIDE takes a ride along with three female homicide detectives who work in the Cincinnati and Atlanta areas, conveying the high intensity of working the homicide unit in real-time. With dogged determination, Detectives Summer Benton, Jenny Luke and Jennifer Mitsch work relentlessly to bring closure to victims' families. From the actual 911 call to on-site questioning with witnesses and even real interrogation footage with suspects, viewers dive into the raw and gritty action that's part of these women's everyday lives. Having aired two episodes earlier this year under the title Women of Homicide on TLC, Investigation Discovery will update the episodes and revisit the female detectives with six premieres of the eight-part series INSIDE HOMICIDE beginning Thursday, October 9 at 10/9c.
In the one-hour premiere episode, frantic Victoria Rickman calls 911 and reports that she has been sexually assaulted and has shot her attacker, William Carter, in an act of self-defense. Once Atlanta's Detective Benton begins her investigation, she quickly finds out there may be much more to this story, including the victim's history with the man she just killed.
