The CBS “48 Hours” encore double feature episodes air July 31 at 9PM. You can watch previous episodes of 48 Hours at CBS.com and Paramount+.

San Quentin State Prison death row inmate Kevin Cooper has maintained for three decades he did not kill three members of a California family and a guest staying at their house in 1983. Now, with new witnesses, lost evidence that could have proven him right and a DNA test that doesn’t link him to the crime, the question remains: will Cooper ever walk free again?

Erin Moriarty and 48 HOURS investigate the controversial murder case against Cooper and explore the two new witnesses who came forward after watching 48 HOURS, new DNA testing and the California governor who could spare his life. This is a case Moriarty has been reporting on for two decades. Cooper’s case has drawn international attention from the likes of Pope Francis and Kim Kardashian West.

The heartbreaking story about the brutal assault that left Doug and Peggy Ryen. Plus, their daughter, Jessica, 10; and a family friend, Christopher Hughes, 11, dead in Chino Hills, Calif. It also raises questions about the initial police investigation. The loss of key evidence and whether the real killer remains free. Preview
