"48 HOURS" SATURDAY DOUBLE FEATURE

Saturday, Aug. 26

9:00 PM, ET/PT -In March 2023, a jury in South Carolina found disgraced former attorney Alex Murdaugh guilty of murdering his wife, Maggie, and son Paul, concluding a dramatic and tragic story that has unraveled under a national spotlight. 48 HOURS and CBS News national correspondent Nikki Battiste explore the double life of a once prominent lawyer and his stunning fall from grace in an updated encore of "The Trial of Alex Murdaugh," to be broadcast Saturday, Aug. 26 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+. Watch a preview.

10:00 PM, ET/PT - Correspondent Natalie Morales reports on an investigation into the murders of two young women, Annette Schnee, 21, and Bobbie Jo Oberholtzer, 29, near the resort ski town of Breckenridge, Colo., in an encore of "48 HOURS: Last Seen in Breckenridge" to be broadcast Saturday, Aug. 26 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+. Detectives were initially able to link the two 1982 murders through an orange sock found near Oberholtzer's crime scene and a matching sock on Schnee. The case went cold until investigators ran DNA recovered from evidence through a public genealogy database and got a match. In a bizarre turn of events, investigators would learn that the killer had been rescued by a local fire chief from a snow-covered mountain pass the same night he dumped the bodies of the two women. Watch a preview.
