Plot Synopsis

#MURDER is a one-hour true-crim docuseries that examines crime with a deadly connection to technology and social media. Whether the killer met the victim online, posted incriminating details on his Facebook page, or the cops used social media to hunt down the perpetrator, each episode of #Murder examines how homicide -- like everything else in this day and age -- has gone digital. The series premiere tells the story of 14-year-old Shaniesha Forbes, a typical American teenager from Brooklyn, N.Y. If she wasn't hanging out with family or friends, she was busy scrolling through Facebook, planning her next event on her busy social calendar. But when Forbes failed to come home from school or answer her phone in January of 2013, her mother knew something was terribly wrong. To find out what happened, detectives would have to dig into her online profile to see who would want to hurt this beautiful teen. Along the way, their search for the truth will reveal every parent's worst nightmare, and show a far more sinister side of social media.
