Colorado television viewers will get exclusive early access to several compelling true crime cases with local connections when the new season of "48 Hours" premieres this fall on Rocky Mountain PBS. The award-winning news program's upcoming schedule includes multiple cases with ties to Colorado and the Mountain West region.

Local Interest Cases Highlighted

Of particular interest to Colorado viewers is the investigation into The Bathtub Murder of Kendy Howard, exploring a controversial case where a former Idaho state trooper is accused of staging his wife's death - a case that sparked reforms in domestic violence protocols across Mountain West law enforcement agencies, including in Colorado.

"These cases resonate deeply with our Colorado viewers because they highlight issues facing mountain communities and rural law enforcement," says Rocky Mountain PBS programming director Janet Martinez. "The regional connections help our audience better understand crime prevention and justice in our communities."

Impact for Colorado Viewers

  • Early broadcast times for Mountain time zone viewers
  • Multiple cases featuring Mountain West region investigations
  • Coverage of rural law enforcement challenges similar to Colorado communities
  • Focus on domestic violence awareness and prevention relevant to local families

According to CBS News, the program will air Saturday nights with special double features throughout the season. Colorado viewers can catch new episodes at 8pm and 9pm Mountain time, allowing local audiences to watch before most of the country.

The season will also examine cold cases, missing persons investigations, and complex murder trials that parallel ongoing investigations in Colorado communities, providing valuable insights for local law enforcement and crime prevention advocates.

For Colorado families interested in true crime and justice, the new season promises to deliver compelling storytelling while raising awareness about public safety issues affecting mountain communities across the West.
