The fight for justice takes a shocking turn. As Ian and Shawn Schweitzer return to court, the prosecution refuses to acknowledge the truth—even in the face of undeniable DNA evidence. Instead, they introduce a new, twisted theory, one that defies logic and stretches the bounds of credibility.

Then, a bombshell: the walls of deception begin to crack, but will it be enough?

Truth is closing in. But so is time.

THREE

For over 30 years, the murder of 23-year-old Dana Ireland haunted the island of Hawai‘i, leaving behind a tangled web of suspicion, betrayal, and unanswered questions. Three men were convicted. The case was closed. Justice was served. Or so everyone thought.

Hosted by Amanda Knox - an exoneree, journalist, public speaker and best-selling author - this Season of THREE takes you deep into a case that was never as simple as it seemed. Through never-before-heard interviews and unwarranted access, we’ll walk you through this notorious crime and how it impacted three families - The Ireland’s, The Schweitzer’s and The Pauline’s all in very different ways. And the shocking discovery that changed everything.

Someone got away with murder. Until now.

This is THREE Season 2: Murder in Vacationland.
