A country founded upon life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness is also one of the deadliest on the planet. With over 17,000 murders each year, America may be more aptly dubbed Murder Nation.
Each season focuses on a particular area and the crimes which are intrinsically unique to their landscapes. Murder Nation explores the bodies that turn up in swamps in the bayou, the killers lusting for fame in the Hollywood Hills, the unheard cries for help lost in the cold Alaskan tundra, and what makes these stories so unique to their environments and so uniquely American.
