Leading true crime network Investigation Discovery (ID) announced today the sophomore season of fan-favorite cold case series, BREAKING HOMICIDE. Featuring veteran police sergeant and P.I. Derrick Levasseur, the new season chronicles his determined quest for answers behind some of the nation’s most confounding cold cases. When all hope seems lost and every possible lead has been exhausted, Levasseur answers the pleas of desperate families asking for help by investigating the unsolved murders of their loved ones.
Chasing down new clues and reexamining old ones, Levasseur re-evaluates each case with fresh eyes and the benefit of more advanced technology, applying his unique experiences as an undercover detective to meticulously dissect each case from top to bottom. Levasseur scours the locations of each crime for new information, sitting down with the original investigators, friends and families of the victims to try to uncover new clues that could solve these cases once and for all. The eight-episode new season of BREAKING HOMICIDE premieres Monday, June 3 at 10/9c on Investigation Discovery.
In the premiere episode of BREAKING HOMICIDE, fun-loving 16-year-old Judy Rawlings of Asheboro, NC, vanished after a midnight ride with her neighbor. The community was shocked by Judy’s disappearance, banding together to search for the missing teen and answer her family’s desperate pleas. But their worst fears become reality when her body is discovered just miles from where she was last seen alive. Her death remained a mystery, as law enforcement hit dead end after dead end, leaving the case to go cold. Now, Levasseur teams up with local Asheboro law enforcement to examine the case with fresh eyes. Could someone in this small town hold the key to solving Judy’s murder? Levasseur is determined to find out.
