Synopsis
Documentary special that re-examines three famous unsolved murders using the narrative talents and analytical minds of three renowned crime writers: Lawrence Block, Joseph Wambaugh and Ed McBain. The three criminal cases are: The Zodiac killer, who held sway over Northern California in a reign of terror that began in the late 1960s and ended in the early 1970s; the case of the Black Dahlia centered on 22-year-old Elizabeth Short, a California drifter whose corpse was found in 1947 in a vacant lot in Los Angeles; and the case of 32-year-old Lizzie Borden, a suspect in the murder of her parents in 1892 in Fall River, Massachusetts.
