Premeditated, calculated murders
About Diabolical
Diabolical features murder cases that are exactly as the show’s title sounds. These are not crimes of passion, these are not cases of manslaughter. They are pre-mediated murders, murder-for-hire, murder for financial gain, murder conspiracies. Plotted and planned murders that go beyond the typical homicide and have unexpected twists and surprising turns.
Diabolical has all of the basic elements of a typical true crime show—police interviews, re-creations, and narration to fill in the gaps of the story—but it focuses on twisted crimes like baby kidnappings, forged life insurance documents, unexpected killers, manipulations, black widows and widowers, killer parents and killer children. Truly diabolical.
