The series comes from Trifecta Entertainment, Scott Sternberg Productions and Michael Eisner’s Tornante Television. Trifecta’s Hank Cohen, Sternberg and O’Dell exec produce.

Crime Exposé tells the story of one murder per episode and takes the audience through all aspects of the crime, the investigation, and the solving of each case through interviews with the victim’s family, witnesses, actual court records and the law enforcement officials involved in each case. Each episode will end with the Safety Spotlight, a brief informative safety-tip that follows up on each day’s story delivered by the series’ own law enforcement safety contributor.

It will launch on Fox stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, Seattle, Phoenix, Washington DC, Orlando, Minneapolis and Houston along with Sinclair Broadcast Group stations in 52 markets. Other station groups include Nexstar, CBS, Gray, Tegna, Scripps, Mission, Imagicomm and Cox.

O’Dell said, “What an honor it is to be returning to daily television, especially with this amazing team of true professionals and experts in the crime space. I started my TV career as a crime reporter and investigative journalist, so it is a full circle moment for me to return to my roots with this compelling show.”
