ABOUT JOE KENDA

25-year veteran of Colorado's homicide investigation unit with one of the highest case-closure rates in the country. He stars on Investigation Discovery's Homicide Hunter : Lt. Joe Kenda. On the show, he re-opens his "murder books," case files of the most disturbing cases still haunting him today.

In re-enactment sequences, he is portrayed by actor Carl Marino .

He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He married Kathy Kenda in 1967, and they had two kids.

He became the host of a show on Investigative Discovery, like M. Phelps of the show Dark Minds.
