Five years ago, New Yorkers Amanda Pierce and Jeffrey Hunter had plans for a luxurious destination wedding at the Breakers resort in Palm Beach, Florida. The ceremony was planned for Saturday afternoon, to be followed by an impressive reception. The wedding would be fairly intimate-sixty of their closest friends and family. But then Amanda goes missing without a trace before the celebrations can begin...Now, five years later, Laurie needs a new case to feature for Under Suspicion's next special, and Brett Young pushes her to choose Amanda, who has never been found. Laurie is worried. So far they have a winning track record, having solved both cases featured previously. The trail for Amanda is cold. But Laurie also recognizes that Brett has a good point: the disappearing bride case is perfect for television-a young, attractive woman vanished in thin hair from a beautiful resort on the most important weekend of her life. It was a true mystery. Next, Laurie has to get all the players on board.

Television journalist Delaney Wright is on the brink of stardom after she begins covering a sensational murder trial for the news. She should be thrilled, yet her growing desire to locate her birth mother consumes her thoughts. On trial for murder is Betsy Grant, widow of a wealthy doctor who has been an Alzheimer's victim for eight years. When her once-upon-a-time celebrity lawyer urges her to accept a plea bargain, Betsy refuses: she will go to trial to prove her innocence. Betsy's stepson, Alan Grant, bides his time nervously as the trial begins. His substantial inheritance hangs in the balance-his only means of making good on payments he owes his ex-wife, his children, and increasingly angry creditors. As the trial unfolds, and the damning evidence against Betsy piles up, Delaney is convinced that Betsy is not guilty and frantically tries to prove her innocence, before time runs out...

Casey Carter was convicted of murdering her fiance - famed philanthropist Hunter Raleigh III - fifteen years ago. And Casey claims - has always claimed - she's innocent. Although she was charged and served out her sentence in prison, she is still living 'under suspicion.' Her story attracts the attention of Laurie Moran and the Under Suspicion news team - it's Casey's last chance to finally clear her name, and Laurie pledges to exonerate her. An egomaniacal new boss, a relentless gossip columnist who seems to have all the dirt (and a surprising informant), and Casey's longstanding bad reputation: Laurie must face this and more to do what she believes is right, to once and for all prove Casey's innocence - that is, if she's innocent...The Sleeping Beauty Killer will keep you guessing until the very end

Television producer Laurie Moran is elated when the pilot for her reality drama Under Suspicion is a success. Even more, the program - a cold case series that revisits unsolved crimes by recreating them with those affected - is off to a fantastic start when it helps solve an infamous murder in the very first episode. Now Laurie has the ideal case to feature in the next instalment of Under Suspicion: the Cinderella Murder. When Susan Dempsey, a beautiful and multi-talented UCLA student, was found dead, her murder left numerous questions. Why was her car parked miles from her body? Had she ever shown up for the acting audition she was due to attend at the home of an up-and-coming director? Why does Susan's boyfriend want to avoid questions about their relationship? And why was Susan missing one of her shoes when her body was discovered? With the help of lawyer and Under Suspicion host Alex Buckley, Laurie knows the case will make a great program, especially when the former suspects include Hollywood's elite and tech billionaires. The suspense and drama are perfect for the silver screen - but is Cinderella's murderer ready for a close-up?
