Plot Synopsis

THE FIRST 48: BAD BLOOD features updates on cases from THE FIRST 48, including all-new interviews with the detectives involved with the case. On Monday, August 17, 2015 from 8pm-Midnight ET/PT, A&E premiered four back-to-back episodes, but had no other episodes on its schedule at that time. The updated stories for the night of the series premiere include:

Girl Fight; Blink of an Eye: In Birmingham, Detectives Mike Allison and Cynthia Morrow investigate the tragic case of a mother shot in her car while her three young children sat in the back seat. As detectives close in on a suspect, they are stunned to learn what triggered the shooting. And in Louisville, Det. William Brown is on the hunt for the men who gunned down four cousins hanging out on their grandmother's porch. Brown is faced with the challenge of identifying the suspects in a neighborhood where the fear of retaliation out weighs the satisfaction of putting a killer behind bars.

Murder Rap: When a bullied teen is gunned down outside a public library, Cleveland Detectives are shocked to discover the motive behind this senseless attack.

Closing Time; Family Matters: In Atlanta, the brutal murder of a foreign exchange student is caught on video. In New Orleans, a shooting at a carwash becomes a family affair.

Return to Sender; Death Camp: In Dallas, Det. Rick Duggan investigates the murder of a young man shot in the backseat of his friend's car. While scouring the crime scene, Duggan finds an interesting lead--mail. He hopes this clue will lead him to the killer. And in Minneapolis, Sergeants Bruce Folkens and Chris Karakostas must find the person who savagely beat a homeless man to death.
