Death Comes Knocking | Season 1 Trailer | Forensic Files

Okay. Is your dad breathing? >> I don't think he's alive. >> Doorbell cameras have proved pivotal in
so many criminal investigations. >> Sadly, the door cam footage was the beginning of the end for Maria.
>> The camera inside the elevator was essentially his front door camera. Inside the bags, there was the two arms
and the two legs. You can see the first defender actually striking Roen twice and killing him.
>> We use a wide variety of different pieces of software to authenticate, enhance, analyze video footage. We can
see that the suspect was right-handed. We get a good view of his stature, his body type.
>> The surveillance video captures two men approach Andre. >> Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. As
the elevator opens, if you look in the back of Fahim's shirt, you can see a light go on and Fahim fall down to the
ground. >> That was an aha moment. >> The attack beginning off in the darkness here.
>> Then you see the car drive off. >> The suspect's height is 5' 4 and 1/2 in tall. I'm not going to say it's
impossible to commit a crime and not be captured on video somewhere, but it's practically impossible.
