(Silver Spring, Md.) - Investigation Discovery's VANITY FAIR CONFIDENTIAL will take on some of the iconic magazine's most explosive reporting on crime and scandal when the hit series returns for its fourth season on Monday, February 5 at 9/8c, only on ID.

From production company Truly Original and Condé Nast Entertainment, the series takes viewers deep inside the Vanity Fair vaults for a closer look into some of the esteemed publication's most shocking stories, featuring exclusive interviews with those closest to each case - including insights from the Vanity Fair writers and editors who worked on the original articles.

In the season four premiere, the show will delve into University of Virginia graduate Liz Seccuro's decades-long search for justice following a college sexual assault.
