Detective Rodie Sanchez just has one message for Tommy Francise, who has finally been arrested in connection to the homicide of Curtis “Cochise” Smith in the season two finale of Killing Fields: “Your time’s expired.”

In Et’s first look at the final episode, Francise’s arrest brings the 1991 cold case one step closer to being closed. Now, it’s up to the Iberville Parish authorities to make sure the case is ready to go to trial, where they hope a grand jury will indict Francise on two counts of second-degree murder for the homicides of Smith as well as George Barrett.

“Finally closing these cases and bringing justice would mean so much to the whole sheriff’s department. It would also be a tremendous weight off my shoulders,” Sanchez tells Et. The longtime detective, who came out of retirement to finally solve the 1997 murder of former Louisiana State University student Eugenie Boisfontaine in season.

After two and a half decades, it’s come down to this very moment.

On the penultimate episode of Killing Fields season two, the detectives move closer to making an arrest — a pivotal step in closing the case of Curtis Smith, who went missing in 1991 — to put Tommy Francise behind bars. It’s something Det. Rodie Sanchez has been dreaming about for 26 years as he’s worked tirelessly to bring justice to Smith and his family.

In order to arrest Francise, the Iberville Parish Sheriff’s Office must present their case to the legal team, including Special Prosecutor Tony Clayton. Once he gives the “Ok,” the team can move in on their suspect. Of course, that’s assuming Francise has been waiting around for someone to arrest him — and he’s not sitting idly by.

As the detectives continue to investigate the murders of Eugenie Boisfontaine and Curtis Smith on Discovery Channel’s true-crime docuseries, Killing Fields, another case is reopened, potentially providing a major break in these cold cases.

On an all-new episode of this real-time series, which inches closer to the season two finale, the Da reopens a 15-year-old case involving the death of informant George Barrett. Killed in his home in 2002, Det. Rodie Sanchez has always suspected local businessman Tommy Francise, also suspected of killing Smith, was responsible for Barrett’s death.

All season has seen the investigative team at the Iberville Sheriff’s Office get closer and closer to bringing justice to these victims, and now, it may seem that an arrest is on the horizon. Et has your first look as authorities move in on Francise. “All these years, I’ve dreamed of this day,” Sanchez says in the clip.

“At first, I was nervous. I didn’t know what to expect and was afraid that we might be portrayed in a bad light,” Major Ronald Herbert, head of the Criminal Investigation Division, tells Et about Discovery Channel’s true-crime docuseries, Killing Fields, coming to his Louisiana Parish to reinvestigate cold cases in the area.

However, his biggest fear turned out to be the exact opposite as the show, now airing season two, has brought extra attention not only to the cold cases, but has shed light on how competent the authorities of Iberville Parish are. The reinvestigation into the two cold cases featured on the show, Herbert says, has demonstrated the importance of the team’s jobs and how far technology has advanced since Curtis “Cochise” Smith went missing in 1991 and later, in 1997, when former Louisiana State University student Eugenie Boisfontaine’s body was first found in nearby swamplands.

At least one unsolved homicide may be solved before the end of Killing Fields season two.

As Detectives Rodie Sanchez and Aubrey St. Angelo get closer to solving the homicide of Curtis “Cochise” Smith, who first went missing in 1991, tensions rise over the safety of a key witness.

Arlene, who was close to the suspect (local businessman Tommy Francise) at the time of Smith’s disappearance, may be the strongest lead the detectives have in connecting Francise with the homicide.

Despite confessing to killing Smith in self-defense and putting his body in a barrel, authorities were unable to charge Francise without a body. But the remains of a John Doe first discovered in 2005 and Arlene’s testimony just may be the missing pieces Det. Sanchez and St. Angelo need.

But in the sneak peek, getting to Arlene may not be as easy as.

Last week on Killing Fields, detectives took an interest in a second cold case when forensic experts started examining the contents of a barrel first found in 2005. Evidence of a 25 to 30-year-old black man could be Curtis “Cochise” Smith, who first went missing in 1991.

Det. Rodie Sanchez, who was originally on the case in 1991, and a team of police decide to take a closer look at the contents of the barrel. Last week, they discovered body imprints in the cement. This week, in Et’s exclusive first look at the episode, they uncover more gruesome details of this “time capsule” that once contained a human body.

(Watch an exclusive clip from the premiere above.) “But in the second, we pick up the case and things start moving along.”

Killing Fields is back — and Et has your first look at season two, which returns to the Louisiana swamplands to solve the 1997 homicide of former Louisiana State University student Eugenie Boisfontaine.

While the series — which is filmed in real time — didn’t solve the mystery in its first season, detectives Rodie Sanchez and Aubrey St. Angelo are as determined as ever to bring justice to Boisfontaine’s family.

But within the sprawling area where Boisfontaine’s body was found — known locally as killing fields — there are dozens of unsolved deaths to investigate. And under Sheriff Brett Stassi and Major Ronnie Hebert, the detectives also investigate current crimes, including a terrifying case of a body stuffed inside a barrel. Believing it’s linked to an unsolved disappearance from 26 years ago, Sanchez starts putting all the cases together.
