Take a look back at season one of KILLING FIELDS, at the major leads and breaks in the case as seen through the eyes of Detective Sanchez, his partner Detective Aubrey St. Angelo, and the team at the Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office.
The body of a Caucasian 20-something female is found partly submerged on the banks of Whiskey Bay. Major Hebert and Detective Bradford race to the scene, deem it a homicide, and race against the clock to ID the victim and hunt down her killer.
The sheriff's office returns to Whiskey Bay to conduct a sweep of the waters looking for dead bodies. A known body dumping ground, Whiskey Bay was also reported to be the preferred dumpsite of one of the most infamous serial killers, Derrick Todd Lee.
Major Hebert receives an anonymous tip that a woman, missing since 2002 and presumed dead, may be buried somewhere in the woods.
The Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office continues to investigate the homicide case of Eugenie Boisfontaine. Now, detectives continue to comb through evidence to search for clues of a motive.
Rodie deals with both the unsolved killing of Eugenie Boisfontaine and a second cold case: a missing young black man, Curtis Cochise Smith, from Iberville Parish.
Detectives continue searching for physical evidence related to the John Doe in the barrel. Awaiting DNA results from a tooth found on the body, detectives sift through remaining pieces of the barrel in hopes of finding other clues to crack the case.
With no body and only a confession, the detectives continue to search for physical evidence linking Tommy Francise to the homicide of Curtis "Cochise" Smith.
With a search warrant in hand, the Sheriff's Office gears up to serve the warrant and search Tommy's home.
In 2002, a murderer strikes George Barrett, one of Detective Rodie Sanchez's confidential informants, dead in his home, and Rodie suspects George's employer, Tommy Francise.
The team feels confident that they have enough evidence to finally make an arrest and put Tommy Francise behind bars as they prepare and present their case to the DA's office.
In custody, Tommy Francise receives a charge of two counts of second-degree murder for the homicides of Curtis Cochise Smith and George Barrett.
