Emmy(R) Award-Winning Actor, Writer and Comedian Craig Ferguson Hosts
“A Puzzle, Wrapped In An Enigma, Tattooed In Mystery” – Mind-bending and enigmatic game show “The Hustler” with host Craig Ferguson premieres MONDAY, JAN. 4 (10:00-11:00 p.m. EST), on ABC. (TV-PG, L)
Hosted by Emmy (R) Award-winning host, actor, writer and comedian Craig Ferguson (“The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson”), “The Hustler” breaks the game show mold by featuring one player who secretly already knows the answers. Don’t be fooled. Just because they have a leg up doesn’t mean they’ll be taking home the prize.
Each episode of “The Hustler” follows five contestants as they collaborate to answer a series of 10 trivia questions worth $10,000 each, with the goal of building a collective prize pot that increases with each correct answer. The catch? One of the five contestants, the Hustler, already knows the answers because every question is inspired by his/her life and interests but must keep their identity a secret in order to have a shot at winning the grand prize. Throughout each episode, two contestants are anonymously eliminated by the Hustler, leaving three remaining contestants – the Hustler and two others – who must collectively decide who they think the Hustler is. If they are right, they share the prize pot that could be worth over $100,000. If the two contestants are wrong, the Hustler goes home with the full cash reward.

‘20/20’ Reports on a Notorious Serial Killer Who, in the Midst of His Killing Spree, Appeared on the Popular 1970s TV Game Show ‘The Dating Game’ and Won
In 1968, Rodney Alcala lured a young girl outside the iconic Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood into his car, which marked the beginning of his reign of cross-country attacks that spanned more than a decade. Posing as a professional photographer, Alcala often used his good looks and charm to lure his victims. But perhaps his most brazen move came in 1978 when he made a chilling appearance as a contestant on the hit show “The Dating Game,” and won. Through first-hand accounts from investigators, victims, eyewitnesses and even his court-appointed psychologist, “20/20” reports on one of the most notorious serial killers of modern times. The two-hour program features interviews with Tali Shapiro, who miraculously survived an attack by Alcala when she was just 8 years old; Chris Camacho, former LAPD officer who saved Shapiro’s life; Jed Mills, who sat beside Alcala on “The Dating Game” as a fellow contestant; Gina Satriano, Los Angeles prosecutor; Matt Murphy, Orange County prosecutor; victims’ family members; and more. “20/20” also exclusively features the 2013 interrogation of Alcala by Wyoming authorities about his alleged role in the murder of Christine Thornton 36 years earlier, which he denies. “20/20” airs Friday, Jan. 8 (9:00-11:00 p.m. EST), on ABC.
The Huntington Beach Police Department is seeking the public’s help in identifying the people in photographs taken by Alcala, found in his storage locker, that were released publicly in 2010. The people remain unidentified and police do not know if they were victimized by Rodney Alcala. To view some of these images, go to https://abcn.ws/3hN6Vdq. If you have information about the identities of the people in the photographs, you may contact Sgt. Sam Shepherd, HBPD at (714) 536-5947.

“48 Hours” Reporting for “The Suspicious Death of Christian Andreacchio” Leads a Prosecutor to Take Another Look at the Investigation
Correspondent Peter Van Sant and 48 HOURS investigate the death of a young Mississippi man and new information uncovered by 48 HOURS that gives his family hope in their search for justice in “The Suspicious Death of Christian Andreacchio” to be broadcast Saturday, Jan. 9 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
Andreacchio died from a single bullet wound to his head. Police say he was found in the bathroom of his apartment in Meridian, Miss., by his live-in girlfriend Whitley Goodman and his friend Dylan Swearingen on Feb. 26, 2014.
Swearingen told police 21-year-old Andreacchio was acting erratically before he died. According to a police report, Swearingen said Andreacchio threatened to shoot himself, telling Goodman to tell him that she loved him, before Swearingen intervened and took the gun from him.
Andreacchio is described by his family as a hard worker who was on the verge of becoming one of the youngest towboat captains on the Mississippi and facing a long, successful career.
Investigators ruled his death a suicide. However, his family didn’t believe he would take his own life.
“I believe 100% he was murdered,” says Andreacchio’s mother, Rae.
“At this point, there has been further investigation by multiple agencies … that have determined it to be a suicide,” says Lauderdale County District Attorney Kassie Coleman, who was not part of the case at the time of the death.
Andreacchio’s family hired a team of their own investigators to look at the evidence. They came up with a different conclusion – murder. Forensic pathologist Dr. Jonathan Arden believes the way Andreacchio was found – leaning over a bathtub, with little blood spatter – didn’t make sense. Arden believes Andreacchio’s body was moved after he was killed.
“None of this lines up for him to have shot himself in the position where he was found,” says Arden. “It’s a staged scene.”
Police reports noted the gun had no fingerprints on it, suggesting it could have been wiped clean.
A grand jury heard the case in 2017 and did not indict Goodman and Swearingen. They each declined to be interviewed, but their mothers say they’re innocent..
“Did your son, Dylan, shoot Christian?” Van Sant asks his mother Pam Swearingen.
“Absolutely not. On a very bad day, my son lost his best friend,” she says.
Goodman’s mother Christie Chatterton says: “I just want them to know that she did not kill him.”
Goodman did eventually agree to meet with a 48 HOURS camera crew to get some video shots of her and her mother. She would not take questions but used the opportunity to read a poem. “It just came to me, like, out of nowhere.” Goodman said, reciting verses that reflect her life after Andreacchio’s death. “I miss who I was, the person I once was allowed to be, before the anxiety, the pain and the notoriety – before your name was used in vain as the main source of my pain.”
After reading the poem, Goodman said, “I was so confused whenever I started being blamed. I really was.”
The case may not be over. In reporting the story, Van Sant and 48 HOURS discovered a key report in the case was not presented to the grand jury in 2017. When told of the discovery by 48 HOURS, prosecutor Kassie Coleman said she was willing to reconvene a grand jury.
48 HOURS: “The Suspicious Death of Christian Andreacchio” is produced by Chris O’Connell and Emily Wichick. Ryan Smith is the development producer. Grayce Arlotta-Berner, Michelle Harris, Joan Adelman and Diana Modica are the editors. Anthony Batson is the senior broadcast producer. Nancy Kramer is the executive editor.
