Ep 8. Twisted Honor / Vultures

In season 2, episode 8 of The First 48, entitled "Twisted Honor / Vultures," viewers are taken into two separate cases in two different cities, both involving heinous crimes that shock the communities they occurred in.

The first case takes place in Cincinnati, Ohio. Detective Jennifer Mitsch and her team are called to the scene of a shooting at a local bar, where a man has been fatally shot. The victim's sister was also at the bar and witnessed the entire incident. She recounts to Mitsch what she saw, providing crucial details that help to identify the shooter.

As the investigation progresses, Mitsch and her team uncover a twisted motive for the shooting involving the victim's own brother. They dig deeper into the suspect's past and find evidence that connects him to the crime. But with the suspect still at large, Mitsch and her team must move quickly to track him down before he can strike again.

The second case takes place in Birmingham, Alabama. Detectives Rick Arnold and Henry Lucas are called to the scene of a double homicide, where two men have been found murdered in a car. The detectives quickly learn that the victims were involved in the drug trade and may have been killed over money.

As they follow the trail of evidence, Arnold and Lucas begin to suspect that the murders are the work of a group of vultures - people who prey on drug dealers and steal their money and drugs. With little to go on, the detectives must use all of their resources to track down the vultures and bring them to justice.

In "Twisted Honor / Vultures," The First 48 shines a light on the tireless work and dedication of law enforcement officials as they solve complex crimes and bring dangerous criminals to justice.
