Episodes
Til Death Us Do Part
They're called crimes of passion, the sort of crimes where true love turns into obsession, betrayal and revenge. Former NSW rugby union representative Paul Mulvihill claimed he was trying to defend himself when he stabbed his ex-lover in 2012 after she broke off their affair. But it was no accident. There's also the case of Allison Baden-Clay, reported as missing by her husband who was later charged with her murder. So often there is a thin line between the one you love and the one you murder.
Women Who Kill
In the world of true crime it's a common sight: violent men on a rampage, a homicide from a drug deal gone wrong, a robbery or alcohol-fuelled act of violence. But there is another shocking side. There are times when the killer is a close family member, someone trusted, and sometimes that killer is a woman. There's the chilling case of Jessica Wongso, who murdered her long-time friend with a cyanide-laced coffee in a Jakarta café. Also, the tragic case of 10-year-old Zarha Baker, brutally murdered by her stepmother, Elisa Baker. What drove these women to commit these unthinkable crimes, and is there any remorse?
Evil Intent
It's an age-old question: what drives seemingly ordinary men and women to undertake the most atrocious and often bizarre crimes imaginable? There's the case of 13-year-old Daniel Morcombe, who was abducted and brutally murdered in 2003. And the notorious global manhunt for Australian Peter Scully that will see him eventually jailed for kidnapping, rape, torture and murder. These confronting cases will make you question whether some people are born evil, or born with criminal intent.
Love Lost
The need for love or intimacy is a powerful human emotion, and in some cases that simple desire can become deadly. This was evident in the case of a doctor's wife, Manda Reynke, who plotted to murder her daughter's ex-boyfriend after becoming infatuated with him.

Miss Austen
Miss Austen takes a literary mystery – Cassandra Austen notoriously burning her famous sister Jane's letters – and reimagines it as a fascinating, witty and heart-breaking story of sisterly love, while creating in Cassandra a character as captivating as any Austen heroine.
The drama begins in 1830, a while after Jane has died. Cassandra races to see her young friend Isabella who is about to lose her home following her father's death. Cassandra is ostensibly there to help her friend, but her real motive is to find a stash of private letters which, in the wrong hands, could destroy Jane's reputation. On discovering them, Cassandra is overwhelmed as she is transported back to her youth. In flashback, we meet Young Cassy and Jane as they navigate the infatuations, family feuds and dashed hopes which shaped their lives and laid the foundations for Jane's unforgettable stories. Cassandra's re-evaluation of her past eventually leads her to realise how blind she has been to the real cause of Isabella's heartache and distress. Finding a way to guide Isabella towards true happiness, Cassandra is finally able to understand and celebrate the sacrifices she chose to make for her brilliant sister, Jane.
