Iconic newswoman Barbara Walters is front and center of this nine-episode series that revisits headline-dominating true-crime stories, from the murders of JonBenét Ramsey and John Lennon to the trials of O.J. Simpson and the Menendez brothers. Walters recounts some of her most famous one-on-one interviews related to each crime, takes viewers behind the scenes of her original reporting, and reveals new case details. Hourlong episodes also feature Walters' fresh interviews with key players, among them JonBenét's father, John, and former O.J. Simpson houseguest Kato Kaelin.
