About 72 Hours: True Crime

72 Hours: True Crime is a mystery and crime TV series that premiered on CBC Television on January 15, 2004. It has 3 seasons and 47 episodes so far and was canceled. The latest episode, Season 2 Episode 12 "Thrill Kill", aired on December 31, 2009.

72 Hours: True Crime focuses on crime, specifically on the first 72 hours after a crime is committed, a critical time period for solving it. Rather than focus on fictional crimes, as do Law & Order and other TV shows elsewhere, True Crime depicted actual crimes that occurred throughout Canada, using dramatic reenactments and documentary-style footage of crime scenes.
