MSNBC INVESTIGATES: A MURDEROUS CAREER (http://investigates.msnbc.com)

patients. But in reality he was a cold-blooded killer, murdering patient after
patient after patient without detection.
Hosted by John Seigenthaler.

MSNBC INVESTIGATES: DIAGNOSIS MURDER
It's a bite mark that ultimately helps wrap up this murder mystery, but in the end
could the clues really lead police to their captain? After a well-respected doctor is
murdered, a videotape, an audio tape and a bite mark lead to her ex-husband, a cop.
But this is anything but an open and shut case.

MSNBC INVESTIGATES: TO LOVE AND TO KILL
A "Crime Files" classic! By all accounts, the couple featured in this program lived a

***PREMIERE***
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER: SECRET WEAPONS
If you think today's military powers have a corner on weapons development, think
again. For millions of years, a kind of arms race has been raging under our noses,
escalating defenses and counterdefenses to extremes. Its soldiers can walk on water,
defy gravity, render themselves invisible to enemy eyes and detect a heat signature
several miles away. These are nature's warriors - animals and plants that have
survived in a harsh world by evolving an arsenal of remarkable abilities and weapons.
Boyd Matson hosts.
10PM ET
MSNBC INVESTIGATES: NATURE'S WEAPON-THE HIDDEN PLAGUE (PREMIERE)
Forrest Sawyer hosts. September 11th forced all of us to begin imagining the
unimaginable: today terrorists and rogue states may be willing to use terrible weapons
of mass destruction against civilians. Weapons that include deadly diseases like
anthrax, smallpox and one disease you haven't heard much about: plague. Plague is not
just a word that means epidemic.it is a specific disease so deadly that it once killed
one-third of all Europeans. It is still with us, as lethal as ever but rare in its
natural state and controllable. But turned into a weapon, plague is a threat to
millions. As you'll see in this program, that threat is very real.

WEEKEND MAGAZINE: TROY GRAVES (www.weekendmagazine.msnbc.com)
Many victims of sexual assault, understandably, prefer not to talk openly about their
experiences, especially on television. But tonight you're going to meet several women
who are doing just that. They're speaking out about the man who attacked them because
they know one of his victims isn't able to speak for herself.
3AM-5AM ET
MSNBC REPORTS:AMERICA'S NEW HEROIN EPIDEMICS-ALONG COMES THE HORSE
(www.msnbcreports.msnbc.com)
This comprehensive report, anchored by Forrest Sawyer, is a startling look at all
aspects of the problem, from small towns to big cities, from users to the suppliers to
the growers.
5AM ET
MSNBC INVESTIGATES: POT WARS
The most potent -and- most expensive form of marijuana on earth is coming into the
United States at a record pace... and from an unlikely source-- Canada. It's called
B.C. bud, named for the province where most of it is grown.. many times in residential
neighborhoods. We go along with Vancouver police who are taking down sometimes five
grow houses a day.
John Seigenthaler hosts.
