AUTOPSY: MOST SHOCKING STORIES (5x60’) is hosted by Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Jan Garavaglia and takes us outside the District Nine Morgue to expose the most incredible forensic mysteries. Each case involves suspenseful twists and turns as top medical forensic experts, law enforcement officers, journalists and first hand witnesses will weigh in to gradually reveal answers to some of the most shocking cases. Along the way viewers will learn how one of the world’s most deadly viruses was discovered, how a serial killer was finally brought to justice, and how a tangled web of government cover-ups, illicit drug use and CIA intrigue was unravelled. Sometimes the death itself is merely the tip of a mystery’s iceberg.
