UNSOLVED: West Mesa Bone Collector
EXCLUSIVE: The West Mesa Murders, the shocking 2009 killings of 11 women whose remains were found buried in the New Mexico desert, is to be the subject of a true crime documentary series.
The unsolved murder case was the inspiration for Lionsgate's recent acquisition Boneyard , starring Mel Gibson and 50 Cent. That film's director Asif Akbar is back to helm the crime series, along with New Mexico producer Vincent E. McDaniel and L.A.-based producer Brian A. Metcalf.
The series is intended to include interviews with victims' families, witnesses and police, as well as archival footage, excerpts from the Boneyard film and interviews with people close to the investigation.
