Building on its slate of true-crime docu-series, ABC News Studios announced today “Where Is Private Dulaney?” The gripping series chronicling one mother’s mission to find her missing son after the Marine Corps declared him AWOL premieres exclusively on Hulu Wednesday, Nov. 16.

In 1979, when Private Leroy Dulaney vanished from his post at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, his mother, Carol Dulaney, took matters into her own hands and undertook an investigation to find out what really happened to Leroy. The three-episode series documents Carol’s quest for the truth, which led her to uncover a world of drugs, rumored satanic cults and a possible serial killer. The docu-series features first-hand accounts from Carol, her sons, Leroy’s wife Brenda, and an interview from prison with Leroy’s convicted killer.

“Where is Private Dulaney?” joins an impressive fall lineup by ABC News Studios on Hulu, which includes the second season of the popular series “Wild Crime” that follows notable crimes committed in America’s most majestic wilderness, timely docu-series “Power Trip” with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos, and the immersive and story-driven reporting of the news magazine “IMPACT x Nightline.”

“Where is Private Dulaney?” is produced by ABC News Studios in association with Show of Force and Versus. Beth Hoppe is executive producer for ABC News Studios. Joshua Bennett, Maro Chermayeff and Jeff Dupre are executive producers for Show of Force, Ali Pensyl and Tom Colabraro are producers.
