Cold Case Files: DNA Speaks

Matt Roush says...

A new true-crime series, narrated by veteran journalist Bill Kurtis, explores unsolved murder cases that were ultimately cracked using DNA evidence. The opener revisits the brutal 1995 murder of 14-year-old Nacole Smith in the woods of Atlanta, left unresolved until a second assault decades later led to the discovery of her killer. Followed by the series premiere of Tell Me How I Died (10/9c), a true-crime series focusing on the work of pathologists who discover leads through autopsies and studying victims’ bodies. In the opener, a pastor’s second wife dies in a car crash, raising doubts about the death of his first wife. Enter Pennsylvania pathologist Dr. Wayne Ross, who never shook his suspicions of the earlier death.
