DEADLY WOMEN Return This February on Discovery Civilization, Alongside the Canadian Premiere of GANG WARS and The Latest Installment of UNSOLVED HISTORY

Discovery Civilization kicks off February 2010 with an intriguing investigation of one of the most iconic symbols of America with UNSOLVED HISTORY: WHITE HOUSE FORENSICS. Then, from the front lines of a brutal war zone where streets and reputations are vehemently defended – often to the death – comes the two-part special premiere of GANG WARS. And, back by popular demand, history’s female murderers – more horrifying and intriguing than their male counterparts – are revealed in the Season 3 premiere of DEADLY WOMEN.
