OXYGEN TRUE CRIME'S 'MASTERMIND OF MURDER' RETURNS SUNDAY, JULY 17 AT 7 P.M. ET/PT WITH COMPELLING NEW CASES

Most Vicious Criminals Aren't Always Pulling the Trigger, They're Pulling the Strings

NEW YORK - July 6, 2022 - Oxygen True Crime, the network for high-quality true-crime programming, announces the return of "Mastermind of Murder" on Sunday, July 17 at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

In this must-watch hourlong episodic series, the crime is never simply solved after investigators uncover a killer. Instead, these murder mysteries provide two reveals: who pulled the trigger and who was the mastermind behind it all.

Every episode investigates a murder of an unsuspecting and beloved victim, with initial clues leading police to believe the person who committed the crime also devised the plot. However, when law enforcement furthers its investigation, everything's not as it seems. The person who committed the brutal crime isn't the one who carefully and deliberately orchestrated the hit, but is a pawn in someone else's plotting. As the twisted layers of cases are unraveled, the master manipulators behind the crimes are brought to light.

Professions of love, bone-chilling threats and promises of riches are the tools used to persuade others to utterly devastate family and friends by taking their loved one's life. Deception among family members, a never-ending fight for land and an obsession with power are just some of the factors fueling the rage that leads people to construct murderous plans. It's easy to see the person who manipulates the perpetrator embodies as much evil as the one who commits crime.
