A long-running true crime show hosted by Paula Zahn
About On the Case with Paula Zahn
Hosted by journalist Paula Zahn, this true crime show offers murder cases from across the US. Many cases are from the 1970s to 1990s, including cases not covered on other shows, and most are stranger murders. The show includes re-creations and some police interviews but few trial clips, which are brief when incorporated.
Zahn narrates the show and interviews detectives, victims’ loved ones, and sometimes perpetrators. Her interviews aren’t as hard-hitting or empathetic as those of the Dateline hosts, but if you’re looking for a show with tons of episodes, this one’s for you. With 26 seasons and still going strong, you’ll have your schedule set for the next decade.
