Next Wednesday, January 29 at 9/8c, Investigation Discovery bids farewell to its long-running, hit series, HOMICIDE HUNTER: LT. JOE KENDA. For nine seasons, Lt. Joe Kenda has arrested fans everywhere as he rehashed the most haunting cases from 23 years on the Colorado Springs Police Department in his slow, deliberate drawl and cool, no-nonsense demeanor.
The finale episode, aptly titled “The End,” examines the cases that forced the hardened veteran detective to face his own personal demons and exit the only career he ever knew as a policeman. With commentary from his wife, Kathy Kenda, as well as his grown children, Dan and Kris, the episode breaks the fourth wall to reveal how Kenda went from gruff police officer to unexpected TV star…and how he found the best therapist he ever knew – the camera.
