True Crime
THEY WERE YOUNG. THEY WERE SMART -- OFTEN TO THE
POINT OF ARROGANCE. BUT WERE THEY
KILLERS? Investigative correspondent Peter Van Sant
draws on penetrating interviews and extensive research to
unravel a controversial case from TV's 48 Hours
Mystery -- the two gifted college students charged with
murdering one of their families in cold
blood. Bellevue, Washington: Early on a
serene summer evening, neighbors heard a muffled commotion
from inside the home of a quiet Muslim family, newcomers to
the wealthy Seattle suburb. It wasn't until well after
midnight that Atif Rafay and his best friend, Sebastian
Burns, entered the Rafay house to find Atif's parents
fatally bludgeoned, and his sister clinging to life. Despite
airtight alibis and a dearth of evidence, the boys quickly
emerged as suspects -- and sealed their fate when they
headed to Canada. After a six-year extradition battle that
went all the way to Canada's Supreme Court, they were
returned to the U.S. -- in a twisting case involving an
elaborate sting operation; a damaging screenplay; a
shattering surprise witness; and the shocking discovery of
one of the boys having sex with his female attorney in
prison. Were Atif Rafay and Sebastian Burns falsely accused?
Or was this unspeakable crime PERFECTLY EXECUTED?
