Fox Nation to start true crime series by James Patterson

Fox Nation, a streaming service, will debut a true crime series by James Patterson. The million-selling novelist James Patterson will host "Unsolved with James Patterson," which debuts on Monday and will air in three parts.  

A Utah student who joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and vanished shortly after, an altruistic San Francisco resident who vanished and was later found dismembered, and a Louisiana schoolteacher who became increasingly unstable and locked down in her home with guns and cameras all three unsolved homicide cases that will be featured in Patterson's series, according to Fox Nation.  

“I was totally gripped by these cases," Patterson said in a statement. "The fact that they are real-life stoies and that we may help bring justice to the victims and their families is very special.” 

The series will include interviews with friends, relatives and law enforcement officials. 

Patterson, whose books have sold more than 400 million copies, has written numerous thrillers, along with nonfiction books about the Kennedys and John Lennon, among others. Last week, Fox Nation announced it had reached a deal with Martin Scorsese to host, narrate and produce an eight-part religious docudrama called “Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints."
