ABC NEWS STUDIOS PARTNERS WITH RIDLEY SCOTT'S SCOTT FREE PRODUCTIONS FOR NEW TRUE-CRIME DOCUSERIES 'AT WITT'S END - THE HUNT FOR A KILLER,' STREAMING AUG. 6 ONLY ON HULU

Four-Part Series Documents the 30-Year-Long Search for Answers in the Cold Case of 19-Year-Old Murder Victim Melissa Witt

Today, ABC News Studios announced "At Witt's End - The Hunt for a Killer," a four-part docuseries chronicling the disappearance of Melissa Witt, will begin streaming on Tuesday, Aug. 6, only on Hulu. In 1994, 19-year-old Melissa Witt went missing from an Arkansas bowling alley. After six weeks of a community-wide search effort, Melissa's body was found deep in the Ozark National Forest, 50 miles from where she disappeared. Thirty years later, the new docuseries explores the ongoing search for answers in Melissa's case and follows new investigators as they comb through extensive evidence, uncovering new information in the decades-long search for her killer. "At Witt's End" is the second collaboration between ABC News Studios, Scott Free Productions and director Devon Parks, having previously partnered on the 2023 docuseries "Still Missing Morgan." A shocking new lead in Melissa's case was uncovered during the investigation of the disappearance of Morgan Nick, the subject of the 2023 docuseries.

Over the course of four bone-chilling episodes, detectives pursue the lead and peel back the truth about a local serial killer's reign of terror through a small-town Arkansas community before and after Melissa went missing. Filmmakers were given unprecedented access to the ongoing investigation, giving viewers a rare look behind the scenes of the case, plus never-before-seen footage and interviews with those involved in the original hunt for Melissa's killer.

"At Witt's End - The Hunt for a Killer" is produced for Hulu by ABC News Studios in association with Scott Free Productions, NLA Productions and Mad Possum Pictures. Devon Parks is director. Scott Free Productions' Ridley Scott, David W. Zucker, Justin Alvarado Brown and Elyse Seder are executive producers. NLA Productions' Lugene Armstrong is executive producer.
