The FBI Files

In 1990, a 14-year-old girl ran away from her Texas home and disappeared; six months later, her body was found hundreds of miles away in an Illinois barn. Agents tracked down a trucker who they believed was responsible for over 50 murders. Investigators knew they had to stop this menace of the highways.

After a young woman went missing, police suspected that her well-connected, married ex-lover was responsible. However, when investigators couldn't find the murder weapon or even the woman's body, the FBI's only hope was to go undercover and turn brother against brother.

When authorities in a small Washington town began investigating the disappearance of a young woman, they had no idea it would turn into a nationwide hunt for a sadistic sexual predator.

On a cold afternoon in 1989, Marine Captain Shirley Russell failed to report for duty at the base in Quantico, Virginia. Friends and colleagues were certain she had not gone AWOL. FBI agents noticed her husband, a former Marine, was acting strangely. A blood-like stain in the couple's home disappeared before it was properly examined. There was no body, no witness and no weapon.

New Jersey millionaire Frank Black flew to West Palm Beach, Florida to close a major business deal but never returned home. When the FBI was called in, agents learned of a mystery woman whom Black met while on his trip. Eventually they untangled a web of deceit that had led to a vengeful killing.

In 1997, the FBI and the NYPD began a joint-investigation into gas station mogul Gurmeet Dhinsa for gas pump rigging. However, they soon realized Dhinsa was more than just a corrupt businessman; he ruled his mob-like operation with brutal force, kidnapping and killing wayward employees and any family members who questioned their deaths. Agents worked their way into Dhinsa's violent world.

In 1995, a mother of three was murdered and her corpse burned in Los Angeles, California. Weeks later, a young woman was killed in Mississippi and another was killed in Florida. Agents hunted down a charismatic man named Glen Rogers who used charm and generosity to target women for his brutal attacks. He would eventually become known as "The Cross-Country Killer."

In 1987, a television producer was gunned down in his New York office. Four years later and thousands of miles away, a man told Los Angeles police he had been hired to murder two Chippendale's dancers. When the FBI was brought in, they linked the two crimes and uncovered a businessman willing to kill to protect his interests.

In Nyack, New York, an armored car robbery left one guard dead and another critically wounded. The FBI suspected domestic terrorists with a history of violent crime. Their investigation led them to the Black Liberation Army and the Weather Underground.

A California man was found dismembered in 1990 and the murder suspect, Danny Ray Horning, was caught six months later as he was robbing an Arizona bank. He was convicted and sentenced to life. But when he escaped from prison, the FBI launched an expansive manhunt for the killer through the American West.

A teenager was shot to death on a hunting ground in rural Virginia. His death was initially considered a tragic accident but investigators soon suspected foul play. Years later, a man contacted the FBI with a complex story of conspiracy and murder-for-hire.
