All about Murder Has Two Faces

The show is hosted by Good Morning America co-anchor Robin Roberts and directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker Lisa Cortés. The docuseries delves into lesser-known murder cases that were eclipsed by headline-grabbing crimes, shining a light on social justice and media biases.

It investigates through interviews with victim families, friends, and detectives why the crimes received less scrutiny despite the connection to high-profile crimes, with the hope of revealing new information and dispelling narrative discrepancies. The docuseries Murder Has Two Faces has three cases.

The first is about Evelyn Hernandez, a pregnant woman who disappeared with her five-year-old son in 2002. Her body was subsequently discovered in San Francisco Bay, just like in the Laci Peterson case.

The second case is about Joyce Chiang, a young lawyer who went missing in Washington, D.C., in 1999 and was discovered dead, just like in the Chandra Levy case. The third case looks at the Tagged Killer, a serial killer who preyed via social media to target victims in remote areas, much like the Craigslist Killer did.

Each show also utilizes archival footage and exclusive interviews to chronicle the investigations and stories of the victims, questioning systemic issues that contributed to their cases being ignored.
