The Face of a Killer

Dr. David Cornbleet, a beloved Chicago physician, is stabbed to death in his office one October evening in 2006. His son, Jon Cornbleet, can’t imagine why anyone would want to kill his father. While some physical evidence was left at the crime scene, the cops are most interested in the office building’s surveillance tape, which captured the figure of a young man whom they believe is the primary suspect. Neither Jon nor the Chicago police have any clue as to who this person is or how to find him. Jon vows at his father's grave site to do everything he can to find the murderer, but he knows his search will have to be unconventional. What will be his strategy? Jon decides to use a social-networking site to cast his net as wide as possible. He believes that someone, somewhere on the Internet, will have answers for him.

‘Til Death Do Us Part

At 6 a.m. on Feb. 1, 1988, in a wealthy suburb of Durham, N.C., 39-year-old Russell Stager is shot in the back of the head while asleep in his home. His wife, Barbara, is mumbling incoherently on the edge of the bed when the police and EMTs arrive. Barbara tells police she thought she heard an intruder. Frightened, she'd reached for the gun her husband kept under his pillow, and somehow, it fired. The police write up the report as an accidental shooting, but when Russell's high-school sweetheart and first wife, Jo Lynn Snow, learns of the shooting, she suspects foul play. Jo Lynn tells the investigating detective that Barbara Stager's first husband died the same way, from an "accidental" gunshot wound. But is a "hunch" by a friendly first wife enough to change the course of the police investigation? What will Jo Lynn have to do to prove her suspicions? And will the death of Russell Stager be considered more than a tragic accident?

Vanished

In January 1990, Mike and Penny Moreau learn that their 21-year-old son, Tim, a college student living in Portland, Ore., has vanished without a trace. The only lead comes from Tim's boss, Larry Hurwitz, the owner of a popular nightclub in Portland. Hurwitz tells police and the Moreaus that he caught Tim selling counterfeit tickets, and Tim ran out of town, to avoid facing charges. Mike and Penny are convinced that if their son had been in trouble, he would have called. Months go by, and the police investigation hits a dead end. The Moreaus make a promise to each other -- they will not rest until they find out what happened to their beloved son. Over the years, the Moreaus fly to Portland more than a dozen times, chasing every tip that might lead them to Tim, whether he's dead or alive. But Tim is never found, and the Moreaus struggle with how to move on without their eldest child. Then, years later, with the help of a local Portland reporter, Mike and Penny discover the most promising information yet -- which leads to a case of income tax evasion. But what does a case of income tax evasion have to do with Tim Moreau? Will Mike and Penny ever learn the truth about their son's mysterious disappearance?

Restaurateurs who are looking for a quick fix or social media glow-up are in for the surprise of their lives when famed culinary titan Gordon Ramsay trades his signature chef knives for a state-of-the-art surveillance vehicle and cutting-edge spyware in FOX's all-new unscripted series, Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service. In a Gordon Ramsay series first, Chef Ramsay will venture into struggling restaurants under the cover of night. With the help of a secret source on the inside, he'll gather raw, unfiltered evidence and get a 360-degree view of the major issues facing each restaurant.

By the time Ramsay reveals his identity, it will be too late for staff to cover up their culinary crimes. Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service will be his toughest assignment yet as he takes drastic measures to transform not only the restaurant but also the staff, because Gordon knows he can upgrade the menu and renovate the restaurant, but the most important change has to come from the people.
