Joe Kenda''''') is an American crime documentary television series which aired on the [[Investigation Discovery]] (ID) television network for nine seasons, totalling 144 episodes.<ref>{{Cite web\|url=https://www.investigationdiscovery.com/tv-shows/homicide-hunter-joe-kenda/\|title=Homicide Hunter: Joe Kenda \| Watch Full Episodes & More!\|website=Investigation Discovery\|accessdate=October 26, 2019}}</ref> The series showcases the career of retired [[Colorado Springs, Colorado\|Colorado Springs]], Colorado, [[Colorado Springs Police Department\|police department]] detective [[Joe Kenda]]. Kenda joined the department in 1973 and was promoted to detective in 1977 and assigned to the burglary division. However, after solving a double shooting which veteran detectives believed was unsolvable, he was assigned to the homicide division. The case was presented in the Season 4 finale "My First Case".<ref>{{Cite web\|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3916408/\|title=My First Case\|accessdate=October 26, 2019\|via=www.imdb.com}}</ref> Kenda states he solved 387 cases (other sources state he solved 356 of 387 cases).<ref>{{Cite web\|url=https://www.investigationdiscovery.com/tv-shows/homicide-hunter-joe-kenda/bios/lt-joe-kenda\|title=Lt.

The cases are told by Kenda in his trademark deadpan manner, with touches of dry humor. Re-enactments feature actor and former [[deputy sheriff]] [[Carl Marino]] portraying a younger Kenda, and narration by Josh Casaubon.<ref>{{Cite web\|url=https://us.blastingnews.com/showbiz-tv/2016/07/getting-to-know-homicide-hunter-lt-joe-kenda-001032319.html\|title=Getting to know 'Homicide Hunter' Lt.

Though the program is reviewed for accuracy, Kenda does not read from a script for the series saying he vividly recalls his cases.<ref>{{cite web \| url=https://people.com/crime/joe-kenda-homicide-hunter-no-script-while-filming/ \| title=Lt.
