Deadly Demands

Every 60 minutes a person within the United States will be taken hostage. That's a phenomenal 8,760 hostages a year. Of those 8,760, some will escape and some will turn up unharmed. Others will never be heard from again. However, a growing number of American hostages will face a more uncertain fate – as uncovered in Hostage: Deadly Demands.

Each episode in this six part series showcases the terrifying cat and mouse game of life and death between victim, captors and police. At the very heart of each of these stories lies a series of critical phone calls where lives are saved or lost, all while being negotiated for a price. It's tense. It's captivating.
