The Network's Summer of Mystery Continues with Garage Sale Mysteries Month

STUDIO CITY, CA - June, 26, 2018 - Following the success of last year's programming event, Lori Loughlin is back as Jennifer Shannon the curious sleuth with a knack of discovering not only garage sale treasures but foul play.

"Garage Sale Mysteries: The Pandora's Box Murders," Premieres Sunday, August 5 (9 pm ET/PT) Garage sale guru and amateur sleuth Jennifer Shannon (Loughlin) agrees to appear on a new reality TV series, where she comes in contact with a mysterious puzzle box, in which the box's now-deceased creator may have placed the clue to her killer. When the dead woman's daughter-in-law is found dead just a few days later, Jennifer's curiosity once again places her in harm's way as she embarks on her own unorthodox investigation of the murders.

"Garage Sale Mysteries: The Mask Murder," Premieres Sunday, August 12, (9pm ET/PT) Garage sale guru Jennifer Shannon (Loughlin) discovers a dead body in the storage locker she and business partner Dani (Strange) have purchased at auction.

"Garage Sale Mysteries: Picture a Murder," Premieres Sunday, August 19, (9pm ET/PT) After taking on consignment a vintage camera collection following the death of a local collector, garage sale guru and amateur sleuth Jennifer Shannon (Loughlin) becomes involved in the search for a killer when an undeveloped photo in one of the cameras leads her to believe that the man might have died from very unnatural causes.

"Garage Sale Mysteries: Murder in D Minor," Premieres Sunday, August 26, (9pm ET/PT) When a local art collector dies and his expansive collection is auctioned off, garage sale guru and amateur sleuth Jennifer Shannon (Loughlin) and business partner Dani (Strange) purchase a rare piece.
