Most murders are investigated and solved by local and state authorities, but in certain cases, the expertise and forensic knowledge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation provides invaluable support. With their powerful scientific tools, criminal databases, profilers and manpower, the FBI can help to solve crimes and bring justice to criminals when all else fails.
That is the case in these four true-crime dramas, each one involving brutal murders, diabolical killers and relentless pursuit by the FBI.

Examining the ballistics, psychological profiling, hair and fiber analysis and hard work on the part of the federal, state and local authorities, THE FBI FILES - Murder Mysteries provides a rare glimpse into how our modern crime busters get their man!
