Crimes and mysteries: Join the experts on the inside
Under Investigation with Liz Hayes, a gripping landmark investigative series, premieres Monday, March 1, at 9.00pm on Nine and 9Now.
Under Investigation takes viewers behind closed doors with a panel of experts inside an unfolding television event as the setting of the case under investigation – a calculated crime, an unexplained disappearance or unsolved cold case – is recreated with cutting-edge laser projectors inside Hayes’ studio.
With a focus on mysteries that have fascinated the nation, viewers will enter the investigators’ world. Former top Homicide Detective Gary Jubelin re-examines the baffling disappearance and murder of Janine Vaughan in Bathurst and uncovers a shocking dark side to this quiet NSW country town.
Hayes’ Under Investigation forensic team discovers new clues and new lines of inquiry in the case of Victoria’s “High Country Mystery” – the eerie disappearance of elderly lovers Russell Hill and Carol Clay from a remote alpine campsite.
Experts and exclusive interviews piece together the terrible abduction and murder of Victorian toddler Jaidyn Leskie – a crime for which no one has ever been brought to justice.
A forensic fire expert finds clues to a possible murder in the remains of a bush campfire; international scientists track Vladimir Putin’s chemical assassins and reveal Russia’s ongoing development of banned poisons and nerve agents; and Hayes’ team examines the greatest mystery of our age: Where did the virus that has laid waste to our world come from?
Watch real experts at work in this absorbing series, follow their methodical analysis and gripping insights. Under Investigation with Liz Hayes isn’t just a new show – it’s a whole new genre of television.

Many are complaining about the “moving background” and the “loud music” on social media.
I actually thought that was a very good device for the show.
With the popularity of crime podcasts I can see why they’re producing this. It’s something that has repeat value and can be sold overseas. I found the narrative and the vision used a little repetitive and I’d hoped to hear some deeper insights but it was still watchable. Nice to have Liz back in the studio at the helm of something. She was great on Today in the '80s and I’ve always wondered why Nine hasn’t used her beyond 60 Minutes for decades.
