When a murder is committed, it sends shockwaves through a community. But what happens when a case is closed, yet lingering questions remain? When doubt circulates and rumors spread, people begin to wonder: Was the right person convicted? Investigation Discovery’s newest true crime series Killer in Question examines four controversial murder cases, and takes viewers through critical crime scenes, new rounds of questioning, and newfound evidence. Each episode lets the viewer decide whether justice was served or if the evidence doesn’t add up.

The show discusses four adjudicated cases in which the verdict remains disputed:



· “The Hunted” -- In 1990, Jeff Titus was charged for the murders of two hunters who were found shot to death near his property, but after a trial and investigation, he is found not guilty. Nearly a decade later, clues lead the police back to Titus and he’s convicted of the murders. But further investigation reveals that a serial killer was on the loose during the time of the murders. Could this mean Titus is an innocent man?



· “The Girl in the Lake” -- On May 1, 1987, 11-year-old Teresa McAbee heads to a convenience store near her home in Mascotte, Florida. The next morning, a fisherman finds her body in the lake across the street. The Sheriff's investigator is convinced a local rookie cop James Duckett is a suspect, and after the investigator’s clues fall in place, Duckett is sentenced to death. But fifteen years later, a retired homicide detective uncovers questionable evidence and disputed facts and becomes convinced that this man is innocent.



· “The Man with the Rabbit’s Foot” -- In 1997, three bodies are found in the walk-in refrigerator of a gas station in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Two years later, Thomas Cisco, an acquaintance of one of the victims, confesses to the murders. But family members of the victims are not at peace with Cisco’s confession. Cisco also gives investigators approximately 20 different statements about what happened the night of the murders. Though Cisco is sentenced to 90 years in prison, many still believe he has an accomplice who roams free, and are convinced there’s more to the story.



· “The Bingo Queen” – One morning in March 1997, Angie Nihoff checks on her grandma, Olga Parlante, known to her friends as The Bingo Queen. Angie is horrified to find that Olga has been brutally beaten. When detectives arrive, Olga is pronounced dead. Fifteen years later, detectives feed unidentified palm prints from the crime scene into a new advanced computer database. The prints match Bennie Hall, a burglar already in prison, and Hall is convicted of Olga's murder and sentenced to life in prison two decades after Olga’s death. But some detectives still believe there may be a second murderer, who has never been caught.
