Oxygen True Crime’s Philly Homicide returns with a perplexing case involving the death of a well-liked chiropractor. The episode, “A Minute Changes Everything,” airing November 9 at 9/8c, centers on a seemingly straightforward murder investigation that quickly takes an unexpected turn.
The victim, a fixture in his community, is found bludgeoned in his home. As Lt. Chris McMullin, former Philadelphia P.D. patrol officer and Bensalem P.D. detective, guides viewers through the investigation, initial suspicion falls on those closest to the chiropractor. However, as the episode progresses, it becomes clear that the killer’s identity is far from obvious, throwing a wrench in the detectives’ initial theories.
Philly Homicide distinguishes itself through its use of archival footage, interviews, and occasionally stilted recreations to offer a granular view of Philadelphia-area crimes. Lt. McMullin’s experience adds a level of insight often missing from true-crime shows, avoiding the sensationalism that plagues the genre.
