Investigation Discovery Delays True-Crime Show to Cover Trial

SILVER SPRING: Investigation Discovery (ID) has announced it will delay filming the sixth and final episode of its series The Vanishing Women in an effort to cover real-time breaks in the show’s case, including the July trial of a suspect.

The true-crime title’s finale will now air in the fall. The series documents an active investigation into the open cases of four deceased and two missing women from Chillicothe, Ohio. The conclusion will follow law enforcement’s tracking of new tips in the cases and will cover the criminal trial of Jason McCrary this July, who is awaiting his murder trial for the alleged killing of one of the victims.

“As the leading authority in true-crime programming, Investigation Discovery has the unique opportunity—and, indeed, even the responsibility—to use our platform for The Vanishing Women and elevate these cases to a national level,” said Henry Schleiff, group president for Investigation Discovery, American Heroes Channel and Destination America. “With new leads now coming forward and a criminal trial on the horizon, it is incumbent upon ID to cover these developments for our viewers, so we have decided to return in the fall with our finale to hopefully deliver closure to at least one of the victim’s families.”

The show is produced for ID by Sirens Media. For Sirens, Valerie Haselton is executive producer and Jennifer Anderson is co-executive producer.
