ID awaits Mail Order Murder delivery

Discovery Communications-owned Investigation Discovery has commissioned Mail Order Murder.

Pioneer Productions will produce the 6x30mins series, which will tell stories of mail order marriages that ended in killings. These include a Russian mother that was stabbed 11 times in her laundry room and a sham marriage in which one party wanted an actual union.

ID’s VP, development Winona Meringolo commissioned the show in coordination with senior VP Jane Latman and general manager Kevin Bennett.

Pioneer’s managing director Kirstie McLure is executive producer, with Martin Mortimore is series producer.
