Complete Episode Listing: By Air Date

It’s amazing to consider the span of time such a long-running series like Forensic Files occupies. During its historic 15-year run, the world experienced many momentous events. Ranging from the events of September 11th, 2001 through the United States’ election of our first African American president and beyond, Forensic Files was persisted. 400 episodes is a feat not achieved by many programs, but coupled with the show’s high production value, Forensic Files deserves its status as the longest-running true crime series of all time.
