5pm – Deadly Deception – New Episode
A chance meeting reunites two long-lost individuals. Time and circumstance have separated them. Once they were close friends, maybe even family, but today one is hiding a deadly secret. The other could be his next victim or may hold the key to unlocking a shocking mystery.

DEADLY SECRETS is documentary series about suspenseful games of cat-and-mouse between deceptive villains on journeys of escalating danger and the everyday heroes who struggle to derail their evil intentions.

What if the person closest to you were a devil in disguise? Would you see the signs? EVIL LIVES HERE tells the true, heart-stopping stories of people who shared a home with a killer. In each case, they see suspicious signs that something is amiss…something they can’t quite put their finger on. Sometimes, they turn a blind eye to those signs—not wanting to know where it came from. Eventually, they must come face-to-face with the horrible truth: the person they loved, the person they trusted, is a monster.
