Lee Horsley plays the lieutenant In charge of a big city homicide division, which is plagued in the opener by an unsolved series of increasingly brutal murders. On the series, Horsley stars as homicide squad member Lt. Ben Carroll, an up-through-the-ranks cop known for his by-the-book professionalism and dedication to police work. Carroll's investigation team included Detectives Ryan Walker (played by George Clooney), Nore Houghton (played by Kate McNeil) and Walt Stratton (played by Al Fann).

Bodies of Evidence focuses on the men and women of homicide investigation and their daily struggle to lead normal lives in a world filled with death.
