Zahn uses her journalism background to unravel crimes that shook communities across the country.

“Paula Zahn is an indelible force in true crime, who has engrossed audiences with her sensitive yet thorough approach to these important stories,” said Jason Sarlanis, president of Turner Networks, ID & HLN, Linear and Streaming at Warner Bros. Discovery. “This new season of On the Case With Paula Zahn promises to deliver even more of her signature journalistic integrity along with ID’s premium storytelling.”

The season premiere episode, titled ”Wrong Place, Wrong Time,” finds police investigating a terrifying mystery behind the murder of two teenage girls, Tracie Hawlett and J.B. Beasley. When the girls fail to return home after a night out in Dothan, Alabama, in the summer of 1999, their worried parents call the police. But the missing persons report sadly becomes a decades-long double homicide investigation. On the Case explores whether they were victims of a targeted attack or were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Other episodes this season will explore the murder of a popular DJ’s wife in the Atlanta suburbs; the murder of a young U.S. Navy recruit in Seminole, Florida; a love triangle that left one woman dead in Loudon County, Virginia; and other cases.
