The show's episodes follow each case from the initial investigation until it reaches its legal resolution.
Aerial America
Some people like to hop in a car to take a road trip across America, visiting as many landmarks as possible along the way.

"Aerial America" takes viewers on such a flight, offering rare looks at some of the nation's best-loved landmarks from high in the sky. Cameras capture the history and pageantry of America as they zoom over busy cityscapes and quiet, rural lands. Many episodes focus on a specific state, showcasing highlights of the state's beauty, while others revolve around themes such as the best small towns and natural wonders found in the country.
