(Silver Spring, Md.) - America's leading crime and justice network, Investigation Discovery (ID), announced today its partnership with leading advocacy group Safe Horizon, the largest organization dedicated to helping victims of domestic violence in the United States. A partner in ID's multi-platform public affairs campaign, INSPIRE A DIFFERENCE, Safe Horizon is the nation's largest victims' services agency that has touched more than 250,000 children, adults and families affected by crime and abuse by providing them with key resources such as shelters, counseling and legal services. ID continues its Safe Horizon partnership with a dedicated programming marathon for the organization's #PutTheNailinIt campaign, an initiative that encourages men and women to show support for victims of abuse and pledge to take a stand against domestic violence.

DEADLINE: CRIME continues for a third season with 10 all-new episodes featuring complete coverage of crimes that shocked the nation and shook the small communities where they took place. Hall remains true to her signature style of reporting, as she doggedly searches for the truth in cases where crucial evidence, testimonies, and motives have eluded those seeking justice. Produced by Peacock Productions, NBC News' award-winning production arm, the all-new season of DEADLINE: CRIME WITH TAMRON HALL follows the INSPIRE A DIFFERENCE marathon on Sunday, June 14 at 10/9c.

4-5PM The House on Q Street When 91-year-old Washington VIP Viola Drath is found dead on her bathroom floor in her tony Georgetown townhouse, it appears she's simply the victim of a nasty fall. But the subsequent investigation into her death unravels a lifetime of violent secrets.

5-6PM Murder in the Applegate Hard-working family man Chris MacCallum disappears while on a camping trip deep in the forest along the border of California and Oregon. And when detectives start to unravel the mystery, all roads lead to an unthinkable suspect.

Season three of DEADLINE: CRIME kicks off on Sunday, June 14 at 10/9c with the premiere episode, Murder in the Mellen Patch. In the episode, a man's body is found engulfed in flames in a Los Angeles alley. The man is thought to be the victim of brutal gang violence, but a tip soon leads police to the victim's ex, Suzy Mellen. When new evidence is unearthed years later, it's clear that the police were dead wrong.
