Oxygen’s “911 Crisis Center” and A&E’s “Secrets of the Chippendales Murders” were among the winners Saturday night at the second annual Clue Awards, held at the CrimeCon event in Orlando, Fla. Hosted by ABC News legal analyst Matt Murphy, the event included presenters Nancy Grace, Kelly Siegler, Camille Vasquez and Paul Holes. Networks, producers and publishers winning top prizes included Paramount+, NBCUniversal, Big Fish Entertainment, Oxygen True Crime, Shed Media, MTV Documentary Films, iHeartRadio and Algonquin Books.
Streamed live on Law&Crime’s social media channels, the event topped the two-day true crime convention. Among other awards, the first-ever “America’s Greatest Detective” honor was given to Cynthia Garza, Special Bureau Chief of the Conviction Integrity Unit in Dallas County, Texas. And the “People’s Choice: Creator of the Year” honor, voted by fans, was presented to Alice LaCour and Brett Talley, co-hosts of the podcast “The Prosecutors.”
As previously announced, the “Crimefighter of the Year” honor was handed to The Gabby Petito Foundation. Derrica and Natalie Wilson, who received the award in 2022 for co-founding the Black and Missing Foundation, presented the award to Petito’s parents and step-parents during the ceremony; in turn, the Petito Foundation co-founders announced a $15,000 donation to BAMFI.
