In another high-profile killing that involved a knife...Chris takes you back to the scene where Matthew Cecchi, 9, had his life taken from an assailant with a knife inside an Oceanside, Calif. bathroom some 25 years later. On Nov. 14, 1998, Matthew had his life taken while inside a public beachside bathroom in Oceanside. Matthew and his family were visiting the Oceanside Harbor for a family reunion. Chris was the lead investigator on the case. The assailant, Brandon Wilson, 20, used a 4-inch knife on his victim. He confessed to the murder and showed Chris in one of the most chilling videotaped police interviews ever shared how he did it. Wilson was convicted, sentenced to death, and sent to San Quentin Prison's death row. While in prison, Wilson unlived himself in 2011. Trigger Warning: The interview of Wilson is graphic and for mature audiences only. Bios: ✅ Chris - Bio: https://www.coldcasefoundation.org/ch... ✅ Karen - Bio https://www.coldcasefoundation.org/ka...

EDISTO BEACH HOUSE & BOTCHED MURDAUGH SUICIDE SPOT 18:02

2 years ago18:02

18:02

We take you to the exact spot on the rural road in South Carolina -- nearby Alex Murdaugh's 1,700-acre hunting lodge called Moselle -- where he staged a fake car breakdown on Sept. 4, 2021 -- nearly three months after the murders of his wife and son -- and reported being shot in the head. Alex called 911, claiming he had been shot, had a superficial wound, and needed medical aid. Later, Murdaugh's distant cousin and former client, Curtis Edward Smith, 61, "Cousin Eddie," reported that Alex allegedly confessed the murders to him. Murdaugh's attorneys said that wasn't true and that Alex had wanted to end his life. So he had Curtis meet him on the rural road to shoot him in a botched suicide-for-hire attempt so that Murdaugh's son, Buster, 26, could collect on a $10 million life insurance policy.
