Paramount Plus is gearing up to go into an all-true-crime mode with its upcoming docuseries Murder 360 this August. Recently, the trailer for the latest crime saga has surfaced, and as already confirmed, 10 gripping stories of the most twisted murder investigations will be revisited.

The opening lines of the latest clip of Murder 360 will definitely send chills down your spine:

"Once you've taken someone, you either kill them or you get caught."

As seen in the trailer, the upcoming true crime show will feature old footage from on-field investigations and interrogation room sequences as well as interviews with law & order officials and close ones of the deceased. The first case featured in the clip is that of a missing child named Elizabeth Olton, where one of the family members of the victim mentions:

"We were totally in the dark about what actually happened."

It follows another harrowing true incident tagged "Murder in Moab." The case revolves around a couple who were killed in cold blood amidst the expanse of Canyonlands National Park. Follow this article to find out more about Murder 360.

Murder 360 will exclusively premiere on Paramount Plus on August 5, 2025, and the episode release schedule is yet to be updated. However, the latest trailer has already offered a sneak peek into 2 of the 10 most harrowing cases.

The first one revolves around a 9-year-old girl named Elizabeth Olten, who has been described as a "happy intelligent child." As revealed by the newest clip, Elizabeth went missing on October 21, 2009, and hours after she did not return, the police suspected "foul play."

The next sequence shows original footage from the interrogation room where the accused is asked if she had done anything to Elizabeth Olten. She initially says no, but then confirms having cut the throat of the victim. Intense conversations from interview rooms have been included in Murder 360 to offer the actual experience of what a murder investigation looks like.

Investigators are also seen carrying out searches in and around North Moreau Creek while trying to get to the bottom of what appears to be an almost cold case. When the investigation got a breakthrough, harrowing details of Elizabeth's murder came up, as described by one of the officers in the trailer:

"That's just desperately wicked."

The second case portrayed in the trailer of Murder 360 centers on a married couple (Crystal and Kylen) who met their tragic fate while camping in Canyonlands National Park, Moab, Utah. It is learned that they felt like they were being stalked initially by (as said in the trailer) "a creeper dude" who was also camping nearby, and he even "made them uncomfortable."

The next thing we know, the couple is found lying dead in a creek close by. Murder 360 seems to be following in the footsteps of Dateline NBC, featuring "intimate interviews, expert analysis, and rare footage" from the most hard-to-crack murder investigations, as described by Paramount Plus.
