Two Shallow Graves: The McStay Family Murders - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Vanished
The fate of the missing McStay family remains a mystery for three years until their bodies surface in two shallow graves in the desert. Prosecutors accuse Chase Merritt of the crime, and the trial begins with each side passionately presenting their case.
The Missed Call
A bombshell witness upends the Merritt murder trial, claiming someone else confessed to the McStay murders. Merritt's girlfriend gives him an alibi, but the prosecution attempts to discredit her on the witness stand.
The Killer's Truck
Police investigate other suspects, including a business associate taking money, an ex-boyfriend still in love with Summer McStay and a new husband with a violent past. Footage of a truck leaving the McStay house may reveal the killer.
The Desert Ping
Merritt's phone pings near the desert graves, and authorities wonder whether he buried the bodies or merely visited a sister. Prosecutors suggest he tried to delete financial records to cover his tracks. A defense attorney takes a sudden leave of absence.
Where's Dan?
New DNA found in the graves may reveal who murdered the McStay's. The defense questions Joseph's brother on his whereabouts at the time of the murders, and they cannot locate the suspect they believe may have ties to the killings.
The Verdict
If Merritt testifies, the jurors will learn about his criminal past. The defense and prosecution present their final arguments with closing statements, and it's now up to the jury to determine guilt or innocence.
Stay Out of Dodge
Chase Merritt is furious with his attorney's for failing to call an expert witness he believes can prove phone records placing him at the gravesite are "impossible." Another key figure in the case breaks his silence about the crime.

The Gilded Age
The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change, of huge fortunes made and lost, and the rise of disparity between old money and new.
Against this backdrop of change, the story begins in 1882 — introducing young Marian Brook, the orphaned daughter of a Union general, who moves into the New York City home of her thoroughly old money aunts Agnes van Rhijn and Ada Brook. Accompanied by Peggy Scott, an accomplished African-American woman, Marian inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old money set, and her stupendously rich neighbors, a ruthless railroad tycoon and his ambitious wife, George and Bertha Russell.
In this exciting new world that is on the brink of the modern age, will Marian follow the established rules of society, or forge her own path?
