Most former police officers don’t enjoy a retirement that involves any kind of celebrity, much less one that has yielded a signature wine inspired by their catch phrase, a book deal, and an annual namesake cruise to the Caribbean. But such is now life for 71-year-old Lieutenant Joe Kenda, whose Investigation Discovery series Homicide Hunter has made him a bona fide true crime star.
Kenda’s perch atop the roster of programming on the decade-old true crime powerhouse ID is secure (if not completely natural) in a lineup that includes Wives with Knives, Deadly Women and Stepford Lives of Stepford Wives. Homicide Hunter, true stories from his 23-and-a-half years on the job in Colorado Springs, attracted nearly two million viewers per week last season, its seventh, and shows no signs of slowing.

I prefer true crime stories and Homicide Hunter is usually worth watching.

Well-conducted interview. I very much enjoy Joe’s case-reenactments and commentaries. Thanks for posting.

I enjoy watching the show. I love it when Kenda discovers or notices a clue and says, “Well, my, my.”

Thanks for posting. I’m a big fan of the show. I had read before that won’t use a script. He really tells his stories well.

I’ve watched the show since it started airing. It’s the only one I watch on the ID Channel. Kenda is a cop’s cop. Never forgot where he came from. It would have been an honor to work with him. He’s honest, loyal, thorough, and relentless in his pursuit of criminals. Those qualities are shown in every one of his episodes.

Kenda really is fun to watch. I got my husband into “Homicide Hunter”, he’s now far more into it than I.
