He's going on trial for the shocking murder of his wife. But before the fading star

(http://natgeoexplorer.msnbc.com)
A National Geographic-sponsored team of storm chasers and photographers manages to
position an armored device with cameras inside a tornado near Manchester, South
Dakota. The device, a turtle-like contraption, is blown away within seconds of the
tornado hitting. Dr. Tim Samaras, whose research is supported by National Geographic,
drops the special instrumented probe into the path of a frightening close oncoming
tornado.
9PM ET-NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER: AMERICA'S BIG CAT CRISIS
Could a 500-pound tiger be living next door to you? Is America is in the midst of a
big cat crisis? It's a problem that some believe has exploded in recent years as
thousands of private individuals acquire large, exotic felines as pets, unaware of the
amount of care these animals require. EXPLORER examines both sides in this powerful
and emotionally-charged debate over private ownership of big cats, asking who, if
anyone, should possess this piece of the wild. Speaking from experience, Carol and
Ron Asvestas advocate a total ban on private ownership of exotic animals.
10PM ET-MSNBC INVESTIGATES: DEATH ROW DIARY (http://investigates.msnbc.com)
A child murderer on death row accounts for his actions and provides a video diary as
his ultimate act of seeking forgiveness and possibly offering closure to the victim's
family.

The inside story of one execution, its witnesses and why they chose to be in
attendance and to see life pass before their eyes.
12AM ET-MSNBC INVESTIGATES: MERCY FOR A MURDERER?
How do you punish a child who has committed a very adult crime? Should he pay with
his life? A seemingly normal 16 year old boy in America's heartland kills not once,
twice, but three times. In this program we follow the death row appeal of Sean
Sellers, who was 16 when he was found guilty of killing his mother and stepfather as
they slept. Years later, as the countdown to his execution begins, the debate goes on
about whether this grown man who says he's found God and repented should be put to
death for crimes he committed as a teenager.

crocodile, one of Earth's deadliest and most feared killers. Once nearly decimated by
hunters, these mighty giant crocodiles are making an amazing comeback.
8PM ET-NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ULTIMATE EXPLORER: KING KONG IN MY POCKET
National Geographic Ultimate Explorer correspondent Mireya Mayor has just helped

world - and it's already under threat. Now, she must protect it, and, in this case,
size is everything.
9PM ET-NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER: DEADLY FASHION
National Geographic Ultimate Explorer host Lisa Ling is taking on her first undercover
operation to expose the illegal trade fueling the slaughter of chiru, or Tibetan
antelope. These medium-sized animals survive at elevations exceeding 17,000 feet, but
the fine, warm wool that helps them withstand the Tibetan plateau's frigid conditions
is also leading to their downfall.
10PM ET-MSNBC SPECIAL: NO PLACE LIKE HOME (PREMIERE)
This MSNBC Special traces the lives of four San Diego families as they struggle to
survive after they go from being average working-class families, to living on the
streets with no means of support. For nearly a year, MSNBC went behind the scenes
capturing the harsh realities and dangerous obstacles that these four families face.
"No Place Like Home" is an intensely personal glimpse at these families' lives,
revealing how desperate they are for the most basic provisions: shelter and a means to
live.
