This feature-length British TV mystery originally aired in 1999 as part of the off-and-on Touching Evil series. Robson Green re-creates the role of Detective Inspector Dave Creegan of London's Organised and Serial Killer Unit, who is determined to bring an elusive serial killer to justice. As Creegan pursues his case, his own mental stability takes quite a beating, prompting his superior officer to advice that he take a long psychiatric sick leave. The plot takes an unexpected turn when Creegan becomes convinced that the man he has so doggedly been pursuing may actually be innocent. Touching Evil 3 made its American TV bow on January 18, 2001, as a two-part component of the PBS anthology Mystery. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Some observers have described the made-for-cable The Riverman as a real-life Silence of the Lambs. Based on the book cowritten by Robert Keppel, formerly chief criminal investigator for the attorney general of Washington state, the film recounts Keppel's efforts to track down serial killer Gary Ridgeway, aka the Green River Killer. With 10 unsolved murders weighing on his mind, Keppel (played by Bruce Greenwood) agrees to a plan whereby an imprisoned mass murderer with a similar M.O. will be brought into the investigation in hopes of second-guessing the killer at large. Thus, Keppel travels to Florida, there to inaugurate a series of chilling interviews with the infamous Ted Bundy (Cary Elwes). Inasmuch as Bundy hopes that by helping track down the Green River Killer he himself will be able to escape the death penalty, Keppel finds himself between the proverbial rock and hard place: How can he secure Bundy's cooperation without making promises he cannot possibly keep? The Riverman was first telecast by the A&E network on September 6, 2004. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A surgeon finds his life turned upside down when his wife vanishes without a trace, and he discovers that she may have been involved with a coven of witches plotting world domination.

Later, as Michael searches for clues to his wife's whereabouts, Zee's teacher reveals that Ann was rumored to have been leading a malevolent double life. It seems that an ancient sect of witches has been secretly scheming to take control of the world for centuries, and Michael's wife was one of them.
