Best Of The First 48, A&E, 2008

The seven episodes in this absorbing DVD collection were chosen by fan vote as the most compelling, most intense, all-around best installments of this runaway true-crime sensation.

Any detective will tell you that the beginning is the most important time in a criminal investigation. If there are no significant developments within the first 48 hours, the chances of solving the case are cut in half. The First 48 chronicles this critical period, following real-life detectives as they race the clock to identify suspects and unravel clues while the crime is still fresh.

Gritty and fast-paced, The First 48 raises real-life suspense to a pitch never before seen on television. Viewers plunge into the tense, high-stakes world of homicide investigations with unprecedented access to crime scenes, forensic processing, interrogations, and much more.

The most intense investigations of The First 48 are:

  • A SERIAL KILLER CALLS: A serial killer dials 911 to get away with murder.
  • DEADLY ATTRACTION: A detective's last case is in danger of turning into a sideshow.
  • INNER DEMONS / KIDS WITH GUNS: Too young to die doesn't mean too young to kill.
  • LOVED TO DEATH / UNMASKED: Getting caught on camera doesn't make a suspect easier to find.
  • MURDER ON THE INTERSTATE / HOUSE OF SANTERIA: A little voodoo goes a long way in cracking the case.
  • THE WITNESS / THE TRUNK: A difficult case of "'til death do us part."
  • BLOOD IN THE SNOW / SWOPE PARK KILLING: Two murders send detectives hunting for buried safes.
