Erin Moriarty investigates: Was It Murder? | "48 Hours" Full Episodes
Investigating Homicide Allegations, Digital Influence, and Legal Maneuvering Across Three Crime Cases
Explore how conflicting forensic evidence complicated a murder charge in Colorado, how digital words became a murder weapon in Massachusetts, and how a psychological autopsy overturned initial suicide findings in Kansas.
Short Summary
- Decide whether evidence inconsistencies (Sonnenfeld) warrant dropping murder charges and allowing a suspect to flee internationally.
- Understand the groundbreaking legal precedent set when digital texts influenced a physical death (Carter).
- Analyze how forensic psychology (Trickle) successfully challenged initial medical examiner rulings that favored suicide.
This segment dissects critical moments in three diverse criminal investigations: the Kurt Sonnenfeld case involving international extradition, the prosecution of Michelle Carter for encouraging suicide via text, and Colby Trickle's murder trial centered on his wife's death. These stories highlight how physical evidence, digital communication, and expert testimony define judicial outcomes.

The fact that he left pretty much right away and out of the country!!,,, is suspicious period
What kind of a mother subjects her daughters to all that pressure and pain for media sympathy? Awful!
Never envy people. Appearance can be very deceiving because half of what you see is not real.
It's a shame that Nancy loved Kurt, but Kurt never loved Nancy.
SHAME ON PAULA AND THE JUSTICE IN ARGENTINA!!! I am from Argentina and here there is a big problem with the corruption also corrupts judges!!😡😡😡😡😡
kurt sonnenfelt what a joke. Guilty for sure, if not why is he running?
The minute a defense attorney says they are 100% confident that their client is innocent I know they are 100% guilty.
Second wife is eerily similar to first wife. Plus, using kids to publicize their narrative is despicable. Shame on them. I feel bad for their kids and those who believe him and helping him.
No one could possibly love Kurt more than he loves himself.
He’s trying too hard to prove innocence. Using their children as pawns for sympathy is parental manipulation. Disgusting.
