I'll Make Sure I Watch "48 Hours" Tomorrow Night

It is the season opener, and it is an update of the Dana Chandler case, mentioned on a number of blog posts here. She was the Kansas woman convicted of killing her ex-husband and his fiancee back in July of 2002. She was convicted this past March and sentenced to two "hard-50" life terms.

I might end up posting the updated episode when it is loaded on the CBS website by Sunday morning.

Here is a preview:

Despite detectives' original reservations that a woman who lived eight hours away in Denver could be responsible for these homicides, the victims' families had long suspected Mike's ex-wife, Dana Chandler. It became more feasible when they discovered that she had a 27-hour window where no one heard from her, and that she had bought two 5-gallon gas tanks the day before the murders.

While we were researching, we made sure to check into alternative theories to ensure that no stone was left unturned. We re-interviewed all the family members and spoke to people who knew Mike and Dana as a couple, as well as separately. We went to the crime scene, went through the Siscos large divorce file, and read various psychological reports that had been done. We headed out to Colorado to check Dana's alibi. We made several attempts to try and speak with Dana herself, but she would not agree to talk to us on or off camera.
