The Case Against Enrico Forti
This 48 Hours investigation reexamines the 1998 murder of Dale Pike, son of the legendary Ibiza hotelier Tony Pike, and the conviction of Italian windsurfing champion Enrico Forti ('Kiko'), arguing the case against Forti was built on a lie, a teaspoon of sand, and a con man's alibi — while the likely real killer walked free.

Natalee Holloway: New Clues In Paradise
This 48 Hours report takes viewers inside two paradise-turned-nightmare investigations: the search for missing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway on Aruba, where lead investigator Gerold Dompig reveals a startling new theory of accidental death and a reburied body, and the death of American stockbroker Randy Latona on the Honduran island of Roatan, where his family wages a lonely campaign to prove his shooting was murder, not suicide. Both stories land as sobering examinations of how small-island justice systems, tourism pressures, and grieving families collide.

Jade Benning's Final Call
This episode of 48 Hours' podcast series 'The Woman in the Woods,' reported by Erin Moriarty and Natalie Morales, chronicles the death of 24-year-old Jade Benning, a pregnant chef in Nashville who died of acute cocaine toxicity after a date night in February 2023, and the murder trial of Blaze Taylor — the former college football star and Tennessee Titans scout she accused of putting something in her drink. It lands because it hinges on a single, unrecorded phone call: a dying woman's last words heard by only one person, and the question of whether that testimony was enough to send a man to prison for two life sentences.

Ghosts of Mississippi
This 48 Hours report, led by correspondent Harold Dow, examines five unsolved murders of elderly residents in Columbus, Mississippi, between 1996 and 1998, and the small-town dysfunction — a botched investigation, an embezzling police chief, and a culture of silence — that let a possible serial killer slip away.
