The recent Netflix docu-series, "Making a Murderer," has divided the country over the presumed guilt or innocence of Wisconsin resident Steven Avery in the murder case of Teresa Halbach. Avery and his nephew, Brendan Dassey, are currently serving life for that crime, but the series has put a spotlight on the case and media outlets such as Fox News and NBC News as well as Nancy Grace on HLN are digging deeper in their own special investigations.
Nancy Grace will present her case first in the one-hour special, "Nancy Grace Mysteries: Teresa Halbach," tonight, Jan. 8 at 8 p.m. on HLN. Tagged as the "evidence you didn't see in 'Making a Murderer,'" Grace will "guide" viewers through the "crucial evidence was not exposed" in the Netflix series, according to Deadline.
The former prosecutor and host will interview former Calumet County District Attorney, Ken Kratz, and Manitowoc County Sheriff, Robert Hermann, and clips from Grace's 2005 interview with Avery. She also will reveal her reasons (at least nine) why she believes Avery murdered Halbach.
Tomorrow night, Fox News will air its own one-hour special, "Steven Avery: Guilty or Framed?," at 8 p.m. Judge Jeanine Pirro will host.
Investigation Discovery announced on Thursday that it would partner with NBC News to produce a "Front Page" special about "Making a Murderer" and the Avery case. Dateline NBC correspondent Keith Morrison will host "Front Page: The Steven Avery Story" that is "aiming to provide viewers with critical details surrounding the case." The special will air later this January.
All 10 episodes of "Making a Murderer" are now streaming on Netflix.
