UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - September 4, 2025 - Oxygen, the home of high-quality, true-crime programming, presents the first true-crime series told through the eyes of Barbara Butcher, one of the most seasoned and respected Death Investigators to work in New York.

Having investigated more than 5,500 death scenes over more than 20 years in the field, Butcher unpacks the stories behind some of the most compelling murders of our times, revealing that the keys to solving the case are often contained in the wealth of information held by the crime scene and the body that lies within it.
