Genre: True Crime, Documentary Series
Documentary series exploring the ways in which certain locations aid and abet criminal activity.
The new season investigates the "Texas Killing Fields", a region with a dark pattern of girls who have disappeared and turned up dead.
Amidst the marshes and oil refineries alongside the interstate corridor connecting Houston and the beach town of Galveston, lies Calder Road - the patch of land that earned its name after the bodies of three young women were discovered there in the 1980s and a fourth in 1991.
Their murders remain unsolved, but one grieving father refuses to give up on the hunt for his daughter's killer, while the search and recovery organisation he founded supports other local families facing similar tragedies.
His determined pursuit of justice for the victims drives the series as it delves into five decades of the area's unsettling history, uncovering a pattern of eerie connections and missed opportunities surrounding the Calder Road cold cases that may, at long last, lead investigators to the truth.
