Detectives Nate Sowa and Ray Diaz take on the investigation of a missing person case that may turn out to be a homicide. A witness reported seeing a 25-year-old male brutally beaten, and that same male has not been seen for days. Without a body, how do you prove murder? Two brothers are suspected of the beating, but Sowa and Diaz must determine if they committed a murder--so it's a race against time to find the victim alive, or find proof of his death. It will take cutting edge forensics to solve this case, and if the evidence doesn't add up, someone may be getting away with murder.

Detectives Tim Entenok and Tom Armelli are called to the scene of a grizzly family shooting. Two adults and three young children have been killed. Detectives work their way through spent bullets, shell casings, and other evidence at the scene, including two firearms, to piece together what happened and discover what led to this violent family massacre. Was it the result of a home invasion or a domestic dispute? And where is the missing upstairs neighbor? Detectives send all available officers into the dark night to find a violent, brutal killer before he can cause more devastation.

In a suburban neighborhood of Cleveland, gunshots ring out in the middle of the night, and a young male is found dead on the front porch of his own house. Detectives Tom Armelli and Joe Chojnowski learn from the victim's girlfriend that a visit by friends that evening quickly turned violent. Was this a home invasion? Or, a friendly fight taken too far? To discover the truth, detectives must rely on their strongest piece of evidence, a cooking pan. Will this pan hold the recipe to catch the killer? Forensic science and diligent detective work are the crucial ingredients needed to break this case.

Hours into her first shift, Investigator Cathy Lucci meets partner Dave Salvatore at the scene of her first homicide case. A 49-year-old male has been brutally stabbed and left to die with a blanket covering him. Investigators question anyone who knew the victim. There are a few suspects and many questions. But who was angry enough to stab a man 46 times and concerned enough to cover him with a blanket? With no clear answers, Lucci's first case is a complicated puzzle. Can she and Salvatore put the pieces together?

On the morning of July 5th, the body of the victim is found lying face up in an abandoned lot that had been used to shoot off guns the night before in celebration of Independence Day. More than 60+ shell casings are collected from the crime scene, which detectives hope will include an essential clue. A tip leads detectives to a possible suspect, who denies any involvement in the killing, although his polygraph may show otherwise. Detectives search his girlfriend's house for other evidence. Meanwhile, rumor on the street is that a high-level dealer was actually the shooter. As their list of suspects grows, the case quickly evolves into what seems to be a conspiracy -- but without an on-the-record eyewitness, Detective Simms won't be able to prove the case.

Shortly before dawn, Investigators Tom Cassidy and CJ Dominic arrive at the scene of a homicide on a quiet, neighborhood street. A van has barreled off the road and crashed in front of a house. The victim inside was found riddled with bullet holes, but it's not clear where the shooting took place. Analysis of fingerprints on the van and witness testimony lead investigators deep into the victim's inner circle, where they find deceit, thievery and revenge but no simple answers to who killed the victim. It will take skilled detective work to determine if this homicide suspect is a friend or a foe.
