Elements Of Murder: There are several things that can suggest murder; jealousy, anger, poison…When everyday substances reveal hidden clues that break a homicide case, those substances become the elements of murder.
Raw Greed: A woman is rushed to the hospital due to a massive seizure that caused her heart to stop beating. Once stabilized, doctors are mystified, as the seizure has left the woman paralyzed and unable to speak. The woman’s husband, who regularly visited his wife, attracted the suspicions of the woman’s nurse. Those suspicions were realized after a doctor ordered several tests of the woman, one finding six times the lethal amount of arsenic in the woman’s system. Upon questioning, the woman’s husband, who had recently increased the amount of life insurance he had on his wife, admitted to poisoning her. A frantic man calls 911, claiming his wife has shot herself in the head. Police respond to find the woman dead. Her husband and neighbors are questioned, but there seems to be no foul play involved. It seems she had been suffering from depression for quite some time. Though the initial cause of death was listed as a gunshot wound to the head (suicide), when a forensic scientist specializing in bloodstain interpretation is brought in, all signs begin to point to the woman’s husband as the murderer. The most sacred of vows are sometimes not even enough to stop people who are intent on getting what they want, no matter what the consequences.
The New Detectives is an American docudrama where world-renowned forensics experts and criminal investigators solve a wide range of cases.
Some scenes in this program have been reenacted, due to the sensitive nature of the show, viewer discretion is advised.
