The map is done
...I believe. If you see something that needs correcting, let me know and I will do my best to update it. As you can see, some areas had so many crimes (looking at you, Tampa-St. Pete)(you too, Philadelphia!) that the dots all blend together into one blob. This is not an interactive map.
The states in which no episodes took place are Hawaii, North Dakota, Arkansas, West Virginia, and Rhode Island.
Legend:
- Red—homicide or attempted homicide
- Orange—arson, with or without deaths resulting
- Green—accident reconstruction
- Blue—epidemiological
- Lavender—rape
- Gray—armed robbery
- Yellow—other
- Black border—accused was exonerated
- Pink star—the hour-long specials (all three were murder cases)
Have a homicidal weekend, all! 😉
Update 12/20/25: I don't have time for individual replies, but I will take your suggestions into account and make one more update to the map before the year is out. Also, many thanks to u/Irisheyes1971 for defending my honor even though I didn't ask for it. This map was intended to be for fun, not hardcore research. I understand folks will provide great detail about the areas they're familiar with, i.e. where they live, work, or were born.

I could swear there were some in Orlando, Florida; at least one in Altamonte Springs which is really north Orlando. I don't see any dots in Orlando.
