The Forces Defining True Crime, Featuring the Women Shaping Investigation Discovery’s Most Impactful Storytelling | Presented by ID
Join Investigation Discovery at CC26 for a powerful panel spotlighting the women redefining the genre through bold, survivor-centric storytelling rooted in empathy and integrity. Featuring the creative forces behind some of ID’s most talked-about series, this conversation explores how the network continues to deliver programming that is both responsible and deeply resonant.
Hear from Holly Madison (Lethally Blonde), Elizabeth Chambers (Toxic), Beth Karas (The Curious Case of…), and Simone Boyce (Hollywood Demons) as they share the stories and perspectives shaping the future of true crime. Moderated by Emmy Award–winning journalist Paula Zahn (On the Case with Paula Zahn), whose compassionate, measured approach brings a deeply human lens to the discussion.
Presented by Fox Nation
It's the case that continues to grip the nation. Join Fox Nation's "The Weekly Rap Sheet with Paul Mauro" with co-hosts Donna Rotunno and Josh Ritter —alongside Fox Digital’s Mike Ruiz, as they break down the latest developments in the search for Nancy Guthrie. After weeks on the ground in Tucson, the panel will share new insights, emerging leads, and the tools investigators are using as the search for answers continues.
They’ll also examine parallels between the Guthrie case and two of history’s most infamous celebrity abductions: the 1963 kidnapping of Frank Sinatra Jr. and the 1993 Las Vegas kidnapping of Kevyn Wynn. While decades apart, these cases reveal a series of striking similarities.
Law&Crime presents the 4th annual America’s Greatest Detective Award, a title awarded annually at the CrimeCon CLUE Awards to recognize the most complex investigative work done by teams or individuals working in or adjacent to law enforcement.
The role of a detective requires grit—but for women in a male-dominated field, it also demands a profound level of intentionality. In this session, this year’s official AGD nominees—an elite group of four detectives—offer an inside look at the cases, challenges, and realities behind their work.
Reminder: Guest and creator announcements will continue regularly, and the official CC26 schedule will be released approximately 30 days before we get to Las Vegas.
