Criminally Obsessed provides breaking stories, original investigations and true crime content delivered by Sinclair’s reporters and investigative journalists across the US. It is available on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.

The first new digital series, People Are Crazy, is hosted by sketch comedian and filmmaker Erik Hamlet, who takes viewers through the wildest, weirdest and most ridiculous true crime stories on the internet.

In The Mysterious Disappearance of…, true crime producer and social media creator Autumn Calica investigates the most gripping missing persons cases in the US.

Lastly, Dead Silence: The Casey Pitzer Investigation exposes the chilling mystery of a 32-year-old mother of two who was found dead in a retention pond in a small town in Ohio. Her death was ruled as accidental drowning, but 12 years later investigations by her father, a journalist and a group of armchair sleuths reveal some serious cracks in the case.

Nick James, VP of social media at Sinclair, said: “No other destination can offer the access and information audiences get from Criminally Obsessed. By partnering with our network of stations we’ve created a truly first-on-the-scene account covering the stories that fixate true crime fans. These new series are just the beginning of a robust slate of digital originals that will dive into the genre from every angle.”
