New Series Takes Viewers Inside Some of the Most Baffling Cases

With Celebrated Real-Life Forensic Profiler

Production to Begin in July for Fall 2002 Schedule

Given the public's fascination with forensic science, Court TV has turned the network's successful pilot, Body of Evidence: From the Case Files of Dayle Hinman, into a series that will premiere during "Forensics Week" in Fall 2002. Production will begin in July for the network's first-ever 13 episode series that follows world-renowned profiler Dayle Hinman as she pieces together evidence found at crime scenes to solve some of her most challenging cases.

"This new series gives Court TV viewers an intimate look at the work of one of the best real-life profilers in the nation and allows them to learn more about the fascinating world of forensic science," said Henry Schleiff, Chairman and CEO, Court TV. "Dayle is a savvy detective who knows how to navigate the mind of a criminal, and we are thrilled that she is now associated with Court TV."

Body of Evidence: From the Case Files of Dayle Hinman takes viewers behind the police tape and into a criminal investigation, following Hinman and her team as they successfully apply their profiling expertise to solve cases that frequently have no eyewitnesses, little evidence and no apparent motive. Each episode will feature one case which had previously puzzled law enforcement authorities. Guided by Hinman, each story is retold in a dramatic and suspenseful fashion. The viewer will get inside the mind, life and career of one of the country's leading criminal profilers.

Based in Tallahassee at Florida's Department of Law Enforcement, Special Agent Hinman was one of the first detectives to be trained in forensic profiling under the FBI's legendary John Douglas and is one of the few women in the profession. Over the past 26 years, Hinman has been involved in numerous high-profile investigations including the cases of Ted Bundy; O.J. Simpson; the first female serial killer, Aileen Wournos; The Tamiami Strangler; Miami's prostitute killer Rory Conde, and the Gainesville Student murders.
