NEW '20/20,' WHEN A MOTHER OF TWO IS FOUND DEAD IN HER HOME, IS IT A SLIP AND FALL OR SOMETHING MORE SINISTER?

Two-Hour Program Features Exclusive Interview With Rod Covlin, Convicted Killer in the Murder of Shele Covlin

'20/20' Airs on Friday, Dec. 29 (9:01-10:00 p.m. EST), on ABC

When Shele Covlin - a 47-year-old mother of two and successful banker - is found dead in her bathtub in her apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, it seems at first like a tragic accident. But family members quickly grow suspicious of her estranged husband, Rod Covlin, especially after authorities exhume her body and come to a shocking conclusion: Shele was strangled. In a new "20/20," co-anchor Deborah Roberts reports on the secrets uncovered during the years-long investigation, ranging from allegations of domestic abuse to the revelation that Shele had decided to cut Rod out of her multimillion-dollar will just a day before authorities found her dead, that eventually put Rod behind bars.

The two-hour program features Deborah Roberts' exclusive interview with convicted killer Rod Covlin. Episode also includes interviews with key family members of the estranged couple; Rod's ex-girlfriend, who gave evidence that helped authorities crack the case; the attorney who provided legal counsel for Shele in her divorce and custody battle; the NYPD detectives who worked on the case; and more. "20/20" airs Friday, Dec. 29 (9:01-10:00 p.m. EST), on ABC, next day on Hulu. (Rebroadcast. OAD: 1/27/23)
