Season 1 Episode 6: New York, 1955: A few hours after dining with the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Ann Woodward came home and shot her husband in the face - by accident, she claimed. The police officer who first arrived at the scene discovered the 40-year-old sitting bent over her husband, sobbing hysterically and stammering that she had thought her husband was a burglar. But as the investigators investigate, the story becomes increasingly suspect. It is the beginning of one of the biggest scandals that has ever occurred in New York society.

Murderers from the noblest circles of New York society, a sex-obsessed divorcee, smugglers in the tropics and career women of the 1960s: fashion trends change, but murder never goes out of style! "The Crime Chronicles" presents the most spectacular crimes of the past. Then as now, murders had the same motives: passion, jealousy, envy and revenge - but the investigators' tools were limited. Often there was only a forensic brush and a Rolodex to catch the perpetrator. This documentary series brings the murderous old days back to life. #tlccrime #crime #crimechronicles
