Peter and Quee Choo “QC” Chadwick seemed to live a blissful life in Newport Beach, California, with their three sons, until 2012, when Peter shockingly murdered QC. After posting bail, Peter routinely showed up for court proceedings until he vanished in January 2015. Years later and thousands of miles away in Pátzcuaro, Mexico, a mysterious ex-pat fled the small town after he was involved in a car crash resulting in a local woman’s death. A new “20/20” reports on the U.S. Marshals Service’s five-year search for Peter Chadwick and how one phone call eventually led authorities to him.

The two-hour episode features ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff’s exclusive interviews with the family of Claudia Soto, the friend of Peter’s who died in the car crash in Mexico; Adriana Segovia, Claudia’s sister and car crash survivor; Esperanza Segovia, Claudia’s mother; as well as other Patzuaro locals who knew Peter. With aid from the U.S. Marshals, ABC News obtained exclusive audio of Peter Chadwick in which he sheds light on his time on the run in Mexico, as well as never-before-heard audio of the first call between Peter and his oldest son after his capture. “20/20” also features interviews with Newport Beach police and U.S. Marshals involved in the search, including Newport Beach Police Department public information officer Jen Manzella, who started a podcast that reignited the case; neighbors and friends of the Chadwick family from California; and award-winning author John Scherber, who provides insight into the ex-pat experience. “20/20” airs on Friday, Oct. 21 (9:01–11:00 p.m. EDT) on ABC, next day on Hulu.

When 17-year-old Brittanee Drexel stopped answering text messages mid-conversation during a spring break trip in April 2009, her friends and family instantly knew something was seriously wrong. Drexel — who was last seen on video camera footage leaving a hotel in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina — had seemingly vanished into thin air, leaving little evidence behind. “20/20” co-anchor Amy Robach investigates the twists and turns in the case, including new details about the alleged killer, convicted sex offender Raymond Moody, as well as the evidence that ultimately led authorities to charge him with murder more than a decade after police investigated him in connection to the case in 2011.

The two-hour program features exclusive interviews with family members of the victim, including her parents, Dawn Drexel and John Kahyaoglu, and her sister Myrissa Drexel. “20/20” also has exclusive interviews with Jessica Fico, one of Brittanee’s close friends, and Ernest Merchant, Moody’s former romantic partner. Other key interviews include former Myrtle Beach Police Lieutenant Joseph “Chuck” Capp, who worked on the case. “20/20” airs on Friday, Oct. 14 (9:01-11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC, next day on Hulu.

Dr. Larry Rudolph and his wife, Bianca Rudolph, were avid big game hunters, often traveling the world to bring back trophies of exotic animals they had killed.

‘20/20’ Unravels the Details of a 15-Year-Old’s Disappearance and Explores How the Case Went Cold for Ten Years Before Authorities Arrested a Suspect
‘20/20’ Airs Friday, Aug. 26 (9:01-11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC

Nicholas McGuffin spent almost ten years behind bars for a crime he says he did not commit. If he didn’t kill his former girlfriend, then who did? McGuffin opened to “20/20” about his overturned manslaughter conviction in the death of then 15-year-old Leah Freeman, killed in 2000 when McGuffin was only 18 years old. For this newly updated show, McGuffin spoke candidly about his work with the Forensic Justice Project that helped him gain his freedom; the key role unidentified DNA found on evidence played in overturning his conviction; and his life since being free, including his desire to seek justice for Freeman and solve the mystery behind who really killed her. “20/20” unravels the details of Freeman’s disappearance and explores how the case went cold for ten years before authorities arrested McGuffin. It also features interviews with Kathy McGuffin, McGuffin’s mother; McGuffin’s friends Nanette Stevens, Rick Stevens, Quinn Meyers and Haley Greenway; Shaun McCrea, McGuffin’s trial attorney; Mark Dannels, Fmr., City of Coquille Police Chief who first arrested McGuffin in 2010; Paul Frasier, Coos County District Attorney; and an interview with Janis Puracal, McGuffin’s attorney. “20/20” airs on Friday, Aug. 26 (9:01-11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC.
