VICTIMS OF A SERIAL KILLER AND RAPIST CONFRONT THEIR TORMENTOR IN AN UPDATED ENCORE OF "48 HOURS: THE GOLDEN STATE KILLER"

Saturday, August 22

Survivors of heinous sexual crimes and the loved ones of victims face their tormentor in an updated encore of 48 HOURS: "The Golden State Killer," to be broadcast Saturday, August 22 (9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

48 HOURS was there this week for the dramatic moments and raw emotion as victims of 74-year-old Joseph DeAngelo, known as the Golden State Killer, got their chance to confront him in a Sacramento, Calif. courtroom and tell their stories at his sentencing hearing.

"The Golden State Killer" features Tracy Smith and 48 HOURS' investigation into the serial killer, who has pleaded guilty to having raped at least 50 women and killing 13 people between 1975 and 1986 before he vanished. He had been dubbed the Golden State Killer by late true-crime writer Michelle McNamara, who was hoping to crack the case and write a book when she died on April 21, 2016. At the time, McNamara was married to comic Patton Oswalt, who opened up to Smith about McNamara's work and the care she had taken in digging up clues on the case.

A former police officer, DeAngelo was arrested in 2018 after police used DNA technology to tie him to some of the crime scenes.

48 HOURS: "The Golden State Killer" is the first part of a Saturday night double feature.

At 10:00 PM, Erin Moriarty and 48 HOURS investigate the murder of Dr. Teresa Sievers, the police's search for what happened, and the stunning conclusion, in "The Plot to Kill Dr. Sievers" to be broadcast on the CBS Television Network. Did a Florida man hire a look-alike to kill his wife? That's what prosecutors say happened in the mysterious murder of Sievers, who was found bludgeoned to death in the kitchen of her Bonita Springs, Fla., home in 2015. There were no immediate suspects, and her husband, Mark Sievers, had an airtight alibi. The investigation took police on a 1,100-mile trek and turned up unlikely suspects: career criminal Jimmy Ray Rodgers and Curtis Wayne Wright, Mark Sievers' best friend, who also happened to look just like Sievers. Wright even shaved his head when Sievers started losing his hair. The case would be far from closed with the initial arrests. Instead, the arrests led to more questions about what happened and another unexpected twist.
