  • Written in Blood

    This classic episode of 48 Hours, which last aired on 9/25/2004, tells the story of two boys who write a screenplay involving murder, but is it fiction or a confession? The 1994 murders of the Rafay family — Sultana Rafay, her husband Tariq, and their autistic daughter, Basma — focused on the pursuit and arrest of the two primary suspects: Atif Rafay, the only surviving family member, and his friend Sebastian Burns, who took refuge in Canada and had written the script for a film called “The Great Despisers,” whose plot paralleled the 1994 murders. 48 Hours correspondent Peter Van Sant reports.

    The trial of Raynella Leath is unlike anything Erin Moriarty has covered before. It all began in 2003 with a frantic call to 911 when Raynella said she found her second husband David Leath dead of a single gunshot wound and called 911 to report it as a suicide. However, his autopsy said otherwise, and 14 years later, Raynella stood in court on trial for his murder. Hear the beginning of Raynella Leath’s story and how the widow’s web begins to unravel. This is the first episode of Married to Death from My Life of Crime with Erin Moriarty, available on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes on Wednesdays.
