Lakeland Police Homicide Cases Highlighted on Discovery Channel Show

Two Lakeland Police Department homicide cases will be highlighted on the Discovery Channel program “Stolen Voices, Buried Secrets”.

This is a true crime show where the murder is told in first person by the victim. The victim is all knowing but never reveals the killer. Instead, viewers must piece together the who-dunnit based on clues from investigators and family/friends. Two cases from the Lakeland Police Department will be highlighted with the first one showing on July 16th, “Hook, Line & Sinker” and the second on September 10th, “Morning Ambush.

Both shows will air on Investigative Discovery Channel at 10:00pm on channels:

135 – Brighthouse
123 – Fios
623 – Fios HD

Hook, Line, And Sinker – Air date – July 16th at 10:00pm
