For its pilot episode, Pinoy Crime Stories takes on the intriguing murder case of an 85-year-old woman who was found dead in her home in Paranaque last month. Her male helper was initially declared as a ”person of interest,” which placed him behind bars for one month, but was later discovered innocent upon the admission of two other female suspects with one of them even confessing her involvement in the crime to John Consulta.

Viewers may also watch the livestream on GMA Public Affairs’ YouTube channel and Facebook page, and GMA Network and GMA Public Affairs TikTok account.
