AceShowbiz - In an exciting new development for true crime enthusiasts, A+E Networks EMEA has commissioned a six-part series titled "Faces of Evil" for the Crime + Investigation platform. The series, produced by Woodcut Media, delves into the perplexing and often flawed investigations surrounding some of the most notorious killers from the US and UK. These cases highlight not only the twisted minds of the murderers but also the missteps in law enforcement that allowed these criminals to evade capture and conviction for years.

One of the most chilling stories the series will explore is that of Dorothea Puente, infamously known as the ‘Death House Landlady’. Puente managed to project the image of a harmless old lady while committing heinous crimes for over a decade before she was finally brought to justice. The exploration of her case is bound to leave viewers questioning just how she managed to deceive everyone around her for so long.

Another shocking case featured is that of Robert Berdella Jr., also known as the ‘Kansas City Butcher’. Berdella’s gruesome crimes in the 1980s, which involved the kidnapping, rape, and murder of at least six young men, will be examined, showcasing the flaws in the investigation that allowed his reign of terror to continue for an extended period.

From the U.K., "Faces of Evil" will cover the stories of Billy Dunlop and Russell Bishop. Dunlop escaped conviction for the murder of Julie Hogg, and Bishop eluded justice for the brutal murders of Nicola Fellows and Karen Hadaway, despite compelling evidence against them. These cases emphasize the persistent efforts of the victims' families and law enforcement to ensure that justice was eventually served, even if it came decades later.

Executive producers Matthew Gordon and Koulla Anastasi teamed up with series producer Tracey Moore to bring these chilling cases to light. "With true crime, one important aspect is to see that justice has been served, which is highlighted in each episode of this series," stated Koulla Anastasi, adding that significant advancements in forensic technology have vastly improved the speed and accuracy of criminal investigations.

A+E Networks EMEA, known for its diverse range of channels including The History Channel and Blaze, continues to push the envelope with thought-provoking content. With offices in cities like London, Rome, and Madrid, the network is positioned to bring "Faces of Evil" to a broad international audience, promising a compelling watch for true crime aficionados.

Set to be unveiled at the upcoming MIPCOM market, "Faces of Evil" not only recounts the chilling accounts of notorious killers but also serves as a reminder of the relentless pursuit of justice, the power of forensic advancements, and the resilience of those unwilling to let crimes go unpunished.
