Above the Law: (S1E2) California Highway Patrolman George Gwaltney discovered the body of 23-year-old Robin Bishop near her car on a remote desert highway. Although he proclaimed his innocence and was acquitted in two state trials, the FBI was able to convince a third jury that Gwaltney was the killer. With only a gun frame to work with, FBI lab experts were able to link tool marks found on the frame with tools found in Gwaltney’s home. Through the match of hairs and fibers and a unique test for detecting and identifying sperm, Gwaltney was placed at the scene of the crime.

Death in Alaska (S1E4) In Anchorage, Alaska, a young mother and her two daughters were sexually assaulted and brutally murdered. There was only one piece of forensic evidence: a washrag carrying pubic lice that the killer used to clean himself after the crime. Employing an unusual and original method, an FBI expert combed through all the hairs and fibers in the apartment. He was not only able to determine how long each hair had been there, but which hairs came from the killer and how the crime proceeded. The woman’s nephew, Kirby Anthoney, emerged as the suspect. Anthoney was convicted on all three counts.

Killing Spree: (S1E08) The rapes and murders of ten women near Tampa, Florida in 1984 had the authorities puzzled and the community scared. Since the beginning, the FBI had been analyzing the crime scene evidence and had found a common link: red trilobal carpet fibers. But there was no suspect, until one of the killer’s potential victims survived. Through her interviews and the cooperation of local authorities and the FBI, 31-year-old Bobby Joe Long emerged as the prime suspect. Fibers from his car and those found on the lone survivor matched those at the crime scenes. Long was convicted of eight of the murders and rapes.

Unravel the mystery alongside the FBI's greatest law enforcers and forensic scientists.
