Killing Fields is a true crime documentary series that premiered on the Discovery Channel in 2016. The show investigates unsolved homicides in the Louisiana Bayou and follows the detectives on the case. The series is raw and gritty, offering a fly-on-the-wall perspective of the investigation as it unfolds. The lead investigator in the show is Detective Rodie Sanchez, who comes out of retirement to solve the cold case of Eugenie Boisfontaine, a young woman who was murdered in 1997. Sanchez, a grizzled veteran of the Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office, has a personal connection to the case and is determined to bring justice to the victim's family. He is assisted by a young and ambitious fellow investigator, Aubrey St. Angelo, who is the first female detective in the department in over a decade. Throughout the series, Sanchez and St. Angelo follow leads and talk to witnesses to track down the killer of Boisfontaine. They also encounter other related cases and unsolved homicides in the area, which they investigate as well. Meanwhile, with the help of a team of forensic experts including Investigator Kris Coughlin, the investigators use the latest forensic technology to analyze evidence from the crime scenes. The show is notable for its realistic portrayal of the detectives' work, which is often tedious and frustrating. They encounter dead ends, false leads and red herrings frequently, and often the most promising leads turn out to be fruitless. The show explores the toll that the investigation takes on the detectives, both professionally and personally. At one point in the series, Sanchez suffers a heart attack and is briefly hospitalized. The show does not shy away from the harsh realities of homicide investigations and their effects on the people involved. The Louisiana Bayou setting also adds to the show's atmosphere. The scenery is beautiful yet eerie, with lush greenery and swamps that obscure both the killer's identity and the detectives' progress. The bayou is presented as a place of secrets and danger, where the rules are different and people are reluctant to speak out. Killing Fields is a gripping and intense show that is sure to appeal to true crime fans. The series keeps the viewer hooked with its deep dive into the investigation and the detectives' efforts to solve the case. It also offers a fascinating look into the world of forensic science and how it is used to solve crimes. The show was praised for its realism and the way it explores the human cost of homicide investigations. It is definitely worth checking out for anyone looking for a well-crafted and suspenseful true crime series.
