True-Crime Docuseries Filming In Delaware County Friday

MARPLE TOWNSHIP, PA — Marple Township will be in the national spotlight soon, as a true-crime series is filming an episode locally about a nearly 40-year-old case.

A&E's new "Undercover: Caught on Tape" series will be filming on the 200 block of Lawrence Road in Marple on Friday, police said.

According to officials, the production crew will be filming only on the local/residential parts of the road, not the four line highway.

Residents and drivers in the area might encounter delays or inconveniences, but a Marple officer will be on location to assist if needed.

Most filming will be taking place outside, police said.

Police said the local episode of the new docuseries will focus on a "1985 case of an agent who went undercover to take down a notorious serial killer and hitman for the mafia."

Check out the IMDB description of "Undercover: Caught on Tape" below:

'Undercover: Caught on Tape' by Green Leaf Productions discusses the real-life stories of dangerous undercover police work through detective interviews, video footage and audio recordings of police officers in the moment. The work is very risky for the officers involved. If they get so wrapped up in their undercover role, and forget who they really are, one mistake can have serious or even deadly consequences.

Green Leaf Productions is based out of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Patch has reached out to A&E and Green Leaf Productions for more information on Friday's filming, and will update the story when additional details are made available.
