Plot Synopsis

CITY CONFIDENTIAL is a noir-style docuseries goes beyond the headlines to showcase the emotional and unexpected stories that catapulted unique communities, both large and small, into the public eye.

After a 15-year break, CITY CONFIDENTIAL returned with new episodes on Thursday, October 28, 2021 at 10pm ET/PT on A&E. Narrated by Mike Colter, each one-hour episode tells the story of one crime, the ensuing investigation, and the ripple effect it had on a community. Speaking with family, friends, detectives, journalists, and others close to the case, the series weaves together first-hand accounts and archival footage to explore the crime and its outcome. From a reclusive Amish farming community to a college campus in Washington DC to an upscale shopping district in Houston, the series travels across the country to examine a variety of cases, the history of the community and how these crimes had lasting effects on the local citizens. In the season premiere, "Monsters on Main Street," Oil City, PA is a small town with a big history. Once a crucial center for America's steel and petroleum industry, it's now a shadow of its former self. While life for the 10,000 residents can be tough, it's a simple place where bad things rarely happen and people watch out for one another. In 1992, when an 11-year old girl goes missing on her way home from a Halloween party, it shocks the close-knit community. When it becomes clear a terrible crime has been committed, suddenly the trusting town realizes that monsters exist. For years, police search for clues to try to unmask the evil they're certain lives among them in order to bring justice to the victim and closure for her family.

Season 8 of CITY CONFIDENTIAL debuted on Thursday, March 23, 2023 at 10pm ET/PT on A&E. In the season opener, "Boston's Little Girl Lost," when an infant's body washes up on the shores of Deer Island, Massachusetts, residents rally to find out who she is, and what happened to her. Their unprecedented solidarity gets nationwide attention, helping police solve a heartbreaking mystery.
