Is there a new episode of 911: Did the Killer Call this week (August 19, 2025)? Explained

911: Did the Killer Call has a fresh installment this week. Season 1 continues on Investigation Discovery with episode 6, Lover or Liar, airing Tuesday, August 19, 2025, at 10 p.m. ET. The show’s format returns to the same core idea: a 911 recording sits at the center, then timelines and on-scene work are laid around it to test what the caller said.

This week’s logline points to a deadly domestic scene. A wife is killed while she is on the phone with 911. Her husband reports an intruder and a gunshot wound to his leg. Police, according to the summary, are not sold on that account. The hour tracks how investigators weigh the call, the physical evidence, and the husband’s statements.

What 911: Did the Killer Call episode Lover or Liar covers

“Lover or Liar” centers on a call placed during an attack. Dispatch audio captures the moment a woman is killed. The husband says an intruder shot her and hit him in the leg. Detectives test that story against the scene and the injuries described in the call summary.

The program has highlighted similar disputes in earlier weeks, where first reports are checked against timelines, neighbors’ accounts, and what cameras or forensics show later.

Across the season, the series packages two investigations in most hours. It starts with the 911 audio, builds a clock of movements around the call, and then stacks documents, interviews, and lab results beside what the caller claimed.

The Aug. 19 listing emphasizes a single marriage in crisis and a disputed home entry. Viewers who have followed the first five episodes will recognize the structure and the focus on caller demeanor, word choice, and pauses.
