Long Island, NY (March 28, 2024) - News 12 today announced an all-new season of CRIME FILES premiering tomorrow, March 29 at 9:30 p.m. ET on News 12 and News 12 New York. News 12's award-winning Investigative Team dives into some of the most noteworthy cases from the tri-state area, including haunting disappearances and heart-breaking murders. The hit original series returns with eight new thrilling, real-life stories, complete with exclusive interviews and in-depth reporting.

This season, News 12 will explore the haunting legacy of Robert Durst, a wealthy real estate heir who was convicted of the murder of his friend Susan Berman in 2021 and then indicted in the death of his first wife in Westchester County later that year. News 12 has exclusive access to detectives who spent decades investigating the case, relatives of Durst's victims, and a notorious Texas prisoner who claims to have shocking information about the Durst family, never revealed before.

Additional episodes will explore the last days of John Lennon, the ongoing search for 5-year-old Dulce Alavez, and the former Yale endocrinologist whose malpractice changed a community forever.
