What happens

Murder in Small Town X (sometimes abbreviated MiSTX) is an American reality television series created by George Verschoor, Robert Fisher Jr., and Gordon Cassidy and was hosted by Sgt. Gary Fredo, a California Police Investigator, that aired on Fox from July through September 2001. The series immerses contestants in a fictional town, and challenges them to solve a murder. Each week, one of the contestants is "murdered" (and removed from the show); the final contestant solves the case and wins $250,000. Although classified as a reality television series, given the format's unique nature, it was more accurately described as a hybrid of a reality TV show, game show, and mystery drama. It is notable for the fact that its winner, New York City fireman Ángel Juarbe Jr., was a first responder who died in the line of duty during the September 11 attacks, exactly one week after the show's finale aired.
