Diabolical debut dissects dastardly deeds

An American Live Wire Exclusive!

Mischief, mayhem and murder!

“Diabolical” is a new 3-episode special airing on Investigation Discovery on December 18, 2013 at 8 p.m. PST.  This is reportedly “an intense series” from the same people who produced the hit show “Dog Whisperer”.  The new program probes the minds of murderers in an attempt to make sense of what motivates the killers.

Why would he do something like that?

The show will feature forensic psychologists and psychiatrists and criminal profilers who will offer key insights.  Experts will analyze the key moments and behavioral underpinnings in every crime.  “Diabolical” demonstrates just “how much people can conceal, until they blow.”

In fact, according to crew member (and sultry songstress) Verenice, the show”brings light to stories of people who don’t have a criminal history . . . and out of nowhere commit a heinous crime. The show depicts the crime and goes into the psychology of how these people came to make the choices leading up to these twisted murders.”

Verenice even described the first episode (“Neil Jacobson the Family Annihilator”) which concerns “a man who never so much as got a parking ticket. When he lost his job, he claimed that he ‘didn’t want his family to suffer through financial hardship’ and killed them all: his wife and two small sons.  He then took ten Xanax in an attempt to ‘off himself’ after the deed.”

How could she do something so terrible?

While Verenice thought she was oversimplifying she added: “It gives you an idea of what they’re going into (on the special).”  A promotional preview of another episode titled “Christine’s Erratic Behavior” also promises to be just as intriguing.  Indeed, “Diabolical” could very well prove to beat out similar programs if given the audience.

Todd Carney, Post-Production Supervisor, added: “‘Diabolical’ looks into the minds of killers no one ever suspected capable of their shocking crimes. The series analyzes their brutal, traumatic stories from different angles and then observes how the justice system handles them.  We’re often faced with motives that sound insane, atrocities that are completely irrational, and killers who seem all too reasonable, like people we know.”

“Diabolical” on Investigation Discover promised to explore all of that and more.  Explore the dark side of seemingly ordinary people.   Walk in the shadows.  Step into the night.  Check out “Diabolical” on Investigation Discovery on December 18, 2013 at 8 p.m. PST and discover just what makes humdrum people do horrible things.
