    20/20 Airing Friday, January 07, 2022 (9:01 PM-11:00 PM EST) on ABC. – ‘20/20’ Documents How James Addie’s Double Life Led to a Shocking Murder and Features the First Interview With His Ex-Wife
    ‘20/20’ Reports on the Tragic Murder of Molly Watson Just Days Before Her Marriage to Addie
    Just two days before Molly Watson was set to marry James Addie, her love of seven years, a passing motorist found her tragically murdered on a quiet Missouri road. Authorities soon discovered an elaborate and tangled web of lies surrounding Addie, spun to conceal his biggest secret of all — he was living a double life, both engaged to Watson and married for over 20 years with kids at home. As investigators dug through text messages and other key evidence, the question became how far Addie would go to ensure his two lives wouldn’t collide? In a new “20/20,” ABC News senior national affairs correspondent Deborah Roberts has the first interview with Melanie Addie, Addie’s ex-wife. She opens up for the first time about her marriage and her experience finding out the truth about her husband, which shattered the life she once knew. The two-hour program also includes exclusive interviews with Glen McSparren, the motorist who found Watson’s body and may have seen the killer at the scene; Sam Addie, Addie’s brother; Sheriff Joe Colston, who helped in the investigation; and Samantha Cohen, Chrystal Graves-Yazici and Tabetha Schilb, wedding vendors who worked closely with Watson and Addie in the days before Watson’s murder. “20/20” features interviews with Tim Watson, Watson’s brother; Patsy Dent, Watson’s aunt; Jodi Lindberg, Watson’s cousin; and prosecutors Talley Smith and Katharine Dolin.

  • CBS 48 HOURS – Saturday, January 8 Show More
    1/8/22 (Saturday) (10:00 PM) on CBS. – A FORMER CANDIDATE FOR IDAHO GOVERNOR IS ACCUSED OF KIDNAPPING A 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL – DOES HIS DECADES-LONG FASCINATION WITH THE CASE MEAN HE’S A TRUE-CRIME JUNKIE OR A MURDERER?
    “48 Hours” Investigates in “Who Killed Jonelle Matthews?” Preview
    48 HOURS correspondent Richard Schlesinger goes inside the investigation of the disappearance of Jonelle Matthews, and the trial of former Idaho gubernatorial candidate Steven Dana Pankey for her murder, in “Who Killed Jonelle Matthews?” to be broadcast Saturday, Jan. 8 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+.
    Was Pankey a true-crime junkie who talked himself into being indicted, or was it something more?
    Matthews vanished from her family’s Greeley, Colo., home five days before Christmas in 1984. The only evidence left behind were shoeprints in the snow – shoeprints someone tried to erase with a garden rake. The case drew national attention. Matthews was featured on milk cartons with other missing children. Then more than three decades later, in 2019, Matthews’ body was found by a crew digging a pipeline. In 2020, Pankey, who says he never met Matthews, was charged with murder after repeatedly making public statements that inserted him into the case, including drawing up a list of persons of interest with his own name on it. Pankey went on trial in October 2021.
    Anthony Viorst, Pankey’s former attorney, says Pankey craves attention but is not a murderer.
    “[T]here’s no indication that he committed this murder, no indication that he had anything to do with burying the body. Mr. Pankey wanted to be a person of interest. 
 Mr. Pankey loves the limelight 
 all of the statements that he has made about his culpability have been, ‘I didn’t do it,’” Viorst told Schlesinger as he prepped for the trial.
    At trial, Viorst told the jury that Pankey was a true-crime junkie. And Pankey himself took the stand.
    “It was just me trying to be a big man, be in the case, okay? I had no knowledge,” Pankey said.
    “It began as a series of lies, and it got bigger and bigger over the years,” Pankey told the jury. “One lie leads to another.”
    If Pankey didn’t kill Jonelle Matthews, then who did? Pankey’s defense names someone they think did it.
    Schelsinger and 48 HOURS are in the courtroom for the trial and the bizarre twist in the case of Jonelle Matthews. After two days of deliberations, the jury announced they were split and could not convict Pankey.
    Is the case closed? Not yet. 48 HOURS has the latest.
    48 HOURS: “Who Killed Jonelle Matthews?” is produced by Judy Rybak. Claire St. Amant is the development producer. Doreen Schechter is the producer-editor. Ryan N. Smith is a development producer. Jordan Kinsey, Elizabeth Caholo and Lauren A. White are the field producers. Ken Blum and Jud Johnston are the editors. Chelsea Narvaez is the associate producer.

    SERIES PREMIERE – Over the last century at least four thousand four hundred people who were overlooked, undervalued, or otherwise marginalized vanished without a trace off the face of the planet. Last night, inexplicably, they were all returned in an instant to Detroit having not aged a day and with no memory of what happened to them. As the government races to understand the phenomenon, analyze the potential threat, and contain the story, Jharrel (Joseph David-Jones), an empathetic social worker, and Keisha (Ireon Roach), a hardened community corrections officer, are among the civil servants called upon to deal with the uncanny refugees. The new partners clash in ideology and approach, but gradually find they have more in common than they thought as they become familiar with those under their care, including Shanice (Brittany Adebumola), a lawyer and resilient young mother from the early aughts, whose unexpected reunion with her estranged husband Logan (Cory Jeacoma) and suddenly teenaged daughter Mariah (guest star Sophia Echendu) is immediately rocky; Andre (TL Thompson), a WWI Army surgeon fresh from the Harlem Renaissance; Claudette (Jaye Ladymore), an influential hidden figure from the Mississippi civil rights movement; Isaiah “Rev” Johnston (Derrick A. King), a black sheep reverend-scion born to a notable televangelist family in 1990s Chicago; LaDonna (Khailah Johnson), a seemingly shallow but misunderstood D-list reality TV star from Miami, circa 2015; and two wildly different unaccompanied teens, Mildred (Autumn Best), a vibrant girl, whose bell bottoms give away her 1970s upbringing, and Hayden (AMARR), an introspective, prescient boy, whose origin remains a mystery. These unwilling time travelers, collectively the 4400, must grapple with their impossible new reality, the fact that they’ve been returned with a few… upgrades, and the increasing likelihood that they were brought back now for a reason they’re only beginning to understand. Janice Cooke directed the episode written by Ariana Jackson (#101). Original airdate 10/25/2021.
