"The Ultimatum" featured Peter Van Sant and 48 HOURS' investigation into the murder of Vanessa Mintz, a mother, wife and businesswoman who was gunned down in a family-owned mountain lodge in North Carolina.

"The Lost Daughter" featured Tracy Smith and 48 HOURS' investigation into the search for Tiffany Sessions, a Florida college student who went out for a walk in 1989 and never returned.
