After two and a half decades, it’s come down to this very moment.
On the penultimate episode of Killing Fields season two, the detectives move closer to making an arrest -- a pivotal step in closing the case of Curtis Smith, who went missing in 1991 -- to put Tommy Francise behind bars. It’s something Det. Rodie Sanchez has been dreaming about for 26 years as he’s worked tirelessly to bring justice to Smith and his family.
In order to arrest Francise, the Iberville Parish Sheriff’s Office must present their case to the legal team, including Special Prosecutor Tony Clayton. Once he gives the “Ok,” the team can move in on their suspect. Of course, that’s assuming Francise has been waiting around for someone to arrest him -- and he’s not sitting idly by.

Lamar Odom is a basketball star and, thanks to his hit E! show, a big-time reality TV star, too.

But it turns out, the reason for doing it is not at all about him. "My cousin, his name is Curtis Smith, he got killed," Odom said. "We called him 'The Star.' " Sadly, it was just over a week ago that the vehicle carrying Odom while he was in New York City to attend his cousin's funeral, struck a...

Previously, shape-shifting soldiers from the Other Side broke into cryogenic labs across the country looking for a specific frozen head.
