"Our unparalleled access to the families and closest friends will allow us to paint intimate and authentic portraits of all four victims and their lives at the University of Idaho, which were so tragically cut short. We couldn't ask for better partners than Skydance and James Patterson Entertainment to help bring the definitive telling of this important story to the world."

"The events that transpired in Moscow, Idaho shocked the world and left many unanswered questions," said Matt Thunell, President, Skydance Television. "With Liz Garbus and James Patterson at the helm, and with the involvement of the Chapin and Laramie families, we will shed new light on these horrific murders and honor the four innocent lives that were taken too soon."
