Show: Exhumed: Killer Revealed

Exhumations help detectives solve murder cases

About Exhumed: Killer Revealed

Exhumed: Killer Revealed is a fairly typical true crime show that focuses on exhumations as the key to solving murders after lengthy periods of time. These include cold cases, undetermined deaths, and deaths first ruled as suicides that are later ruled as homicides.

Some cases in the series are covered in other shows, but Exhumed: Killer Revealed emphasizes the first murder of the two when two homicide cases are linked and in instances when a case has gone cold and leads to the need for exhumation. One example is the Sharon Reeves case in Episode 7. In other cases detailed elsewhere, the show provides more information on the exhumations than other series.

Show: Secrets of the Morgue

Medical examiners take the lead in this true crime show

About Secrets of the Morgue

Secrets of the Morgue puts medical examiners, forensic pathologists, and forensic anthropologists at the center of each episode of the series, which emphasizes autopsy reports more than most true crime shows, while still relating the subsequent murder investigations.

In each episode, medical examiners describe the specific details of autopsies in all types of murder cases, their technical elements, and how this information helps them identify a body, find the cause of death, or figure out the weapon used in a homicide.

The show includes detectives and others involved in the cases, along with a stock group of experts specializing in sociology, violent crime, forensic pathology, and homicide investigation (Mark Mendelson, Jooyoung Lee, and Jane Turner), who weigh in on the psychology and investigative aspects of each case.

The show also includes interviews with victims’ loved ones, re-creations, and police interviews in select cases, but no trial clips.
