Justice Never Dies in the Shocking New HLN Original Series, “The Killer Truth”, debuting Sunday, April 26

NEW YORKApril 16, 2020– A shocking new docu-series packed with murder, scandal, and justice, The Killer Truth premieres Sunday, April 26 at 10pm ET/PT only on HLN.

There are two sides to every story, but in a murder, one side dies with the victim. Each episode of The Killer Truth tells the story of a single murder through the five people most intimately connected to the case. These five distinct points of view may include the victim’s family, the lead detective, a reporter who covered the case, the suspect linked to the crime, the defense attorney, and finally, even the killer. The five perspectives take us through the twists and turns of each case, create a full picture of the crime, and ultimately lead to justice.

Ahead of the linear premiere on Friday, April 17, one episode, “Terror in the Taxi”, will be available on demand to subscribers via cable/satellite systems. The rest of the series episodes will be available on demand the day after their broadcast premiere via cable/satellite systems and remain available ongoing.

Executive producers for The Killer Truth are Deborah Allen and Jeff Collins of Catalina Content, LLC.
