“The most important part of homicide investigations is to never, ever give up,” former police detective Joe Kenda says as part of the lead-in to the Investigation Discovery special, Homicide Hunter: Never Give Up. There may be no better example among Kenda’s 387 cases than the rape and murder of 20-year-old G.I. Darlene Krashoc — a case that saw a conviction and life sentence 32 years later.

It’s a sad day for fans of true crime television in general and groundbreaking show Homicide Hunter in particular. Lieutenant Joe Kenda, whose matter-of-fact delivery and dry humor helped turn the show into an international hit, has announced that Homicide Hunter Season 9 will be the show’s last.
