ID INTRODUCES THE HUMAN LIE DETECTOR WITH THE PREMIERE OF "KILLER CONFESSIONS: CASE FILES OF A TEXAS RANGER"

New Episodes Airing Weekly Beginning Tuesday, January 13 at 10/9c on ID

(New York, NY) - Today Investigation Discovery, the leading true crime network, announced that it will introduce audiences to Texas Ranger, James B. Holland, who has built a reputation as one of the most remarkable investigators in modern law enforcement. With more than 26 years with the Texas State Police, Holland has cracked hundreds of cases, including some of the country's most haunting unsolved crimes. But his rare gift lies in drawing confessions from the unthinkable: serial killers. This gripping new series pulls back the curtain on Holland's most complex and chilling cases when KILLER CONFESSIONS: CASE FILES OF A TEXAS RANGER premieres on Tuesday, January 13 at 10/9c on ID. Episodes will be available to stream the next day on HBO Max.

Through Holland's masterful psychological approach, viewers are immersed in the tension of real-time confessions and given a front-row seat to retired Texas Ranger, James Holland, as he reveals his tactics in cases once considered unsolvable. Through interrogation footage, case files, and with the personal reflections of Holland himself, each episode of KILLER CONFESSIONS traces the path from the crime scene to the confession chair and offers unprecedented access into the minds of killers through one of law enforcement's most enigmatic, and successful, figures.

In the special two-hour season premiere, after four women vanish, fear grips communities throughout Texas and neighboring Oklahoma while desperate families seek answers. Investigators narrow in on their suspect: convicted predator, William Reece, already serving time for sexual assault. But without the women's bodies, they're unable to tie him to the additional crimes. When Reece is about to be released from prison, the investigative teams turn to James Holland to finally get to the truth and keep a predator behind bars. Featuring chilling and extensive interrogation footage of Holland's conversations with serial killer William Reece, along with an exclusive interview with Reece's ex-wife, Ronda Keller, "Pathologically Evil" reveals Holland's tenacious journey to find out where the four missing women are to bring closure to their families when the series premieres on Tuesday, January 13 from 10pm - 12am ET on ID.
