(New York, NY) -- Today Investigation Discovery, the leading true crime network, announced THE TEXAS CHEERLEADER MURDER PLOT, a two-hour documentary delving into the notorious murder-for-hire plot concocted by Texas mom Wanda Holloway to eliminate her daughter's cheerleading rival. Despite capturing the nation's fascination - dominating news headlines across the country and even inspiring a made-for-TV movie - the infamous 1991 case remains shrouded in mystery. Premiering Wednesday, December 18 at 9pm ET on ID, THE TEXAS CHEERLEADER MURDER PLOT will uncover the truth behind this infamous case, with Holloway's daughter Shanna for the first time revealing the secret behind what happened.
Thirty years after Wanda Holloway was convicted of trying to hire a hit man to kill her daughter's cheerleading rival, THE TEXAS CHEERLEADER MURDER PLOT unpacks what really happened in the lead up - and wake of - these shocking events that rocked not just the close-knit community of Channelview, Texas but also the nation. Through comprehensive interviews with those closest to the crime, including Holloway's daughter Shanna, Shanna reveals her side of the story: shedding light on her mother's true motivations, how she coped with her mother's actions, and who was secretly pulling the strings behind the curtain to set Wanda Holloway up. Featuring additional commentary from legal voices, law enforcement offers and reporters intimately connected with the details of this case, the two-hour documentary THE TEXAS CHEERLEADER MURDER PLOT will also unpack the impact the crime had on the nation, delving into the way in which broadcast news - and popular culture - ultimately got it wrong.
