On January 31, 2012, engaged couple Billy Payne and Billie Jean Hayworth are found murdered in their Mountain City, Tennessee home. As police investigate, the story takes a shocking turn when the admitted shooter claims the crime was a sanctioned hit ordered by a rogue CIA agent. Authorities dig deeper, but find no record of the agent, and actually discover that the killers have been catfished. Who is behind the fabricated government official? Ripped from the pages of renowned prosecutor Dennis Brooks' new book, TOO PRETTY TO LIVE is a story of betrayal, vengeance, and two overly-protective parents manipulated into committing murder.

MovieDocumentaryCrime

Among serial killers, Israel Keyes is an enigma. When police picked him up in Texas in March of 2012, it was for the murder of 18-year-old Samantha Koenig, whom he had brazenly kidnapped from a coffee stand in Anchorage, Alaska. Once in custody, however, he confessed to other murders and bank robberies and alluded to many more crimes. He ultimately claimed to have killed up to 11 victims between 2001 and 2012, but couldn't - or wouldn't - tell the authorities exactly when and where. He told them enough, however, for them to take him seriously. Then, in December 2012, after nine months in custody, he killed himself, taking his secrets with him to the grave.
