Dramatic, original and revealing, MURDER IN AMISH COUNTRY uncovers some of the most heinous crimes committed in closed communities whose members are known for their piety, principles and distrust of the outside world. Episodes feature the cases of Edward Gingerich, who was the first Old Order Amish man to be convicted of homicide, and serial killer Eli Stutzman, who was the son of an Amish bishop. These cases push investigators to the limit as they struggle to serve justice in the closed and unfamiliar world of America’s Amish and Anabaptist communities. With unparalleled access, gripping interviews and evocative re-enactments, MURDER IN AMISH COUNTRY takes viewers into a hidden world as detectives uncover secrets, passions and rivalries that lie beneath the surface in each community.
