Synopsis

Cross-country crime sprees. Love affairs turned tragic. Fugitive financiers. Schoolgirl killers. Dead priests. Cruel cannibals. Sadistic snipers.

Homicide File is a true crime series. Cases are probed through interviews with the friends and family members of the victims and perpetrators.

The show offers an insightful background from investigators and experts, and a visually arresting mix of archival news footage, headlines, on-location shoots and crime re-enactments.

What compels a killer to kill? How were they caught? Who was left behind to deal with the consequences of each crime?

Homicide File asks these questions of the infamous crimes of Paul Bernardo and Clifford Olsen to more recent cases such as the conviction of Robert Bonisteel, sent to prison by DNA collected 30 years ago.
