"In this week's episode, the question of who killed Tupac Shakur has been a mystery for nearly 30 years. Now, the only person ever charged in his murder is speaking out for the first time since his arrest — and changing his story."
48 Hours says, "In 1969, Jane Mixer was attending the University of Michigan Law School when she was found dead just miles from her dorm. She had been shot twice in the head and strangled. Jane was the third of seven young women to be found dead in the area within two years."
"Investigators believed John Norman Collins was the serial killer responsible for several of the murders but couldn't prove he killed Jane. The case went cold until 2001 when the investigation was re-opened by testing DNA evidence collected more than 30-years earlier."
48 HOURS on CBS. The next episode is called, "The Puzzling Death of Susan Sills" that will air this Saturday following Men's NCAA College Basketball. Check your local listings because the game might run over time.
48 Hours says, "On March 21, 2003, Ramona Krotine left an office party in Ohio and was never seen alive again. Nearly 24 hours later, she was found in the trunk of her car, beaten and shot to death. At first, police suspected a botched robbery but the investigation led to her husband, Jeffrey."
"After he was arrested for her murder, it would take three trials to reach a decision on Jeffrey's fate."

MANNEQUIN distributed by 20th CENTURY FOX (1987). The production budget climbed to $7 million and grossed $42 million at the box office. It starred Andrew McCarthy and Kim Cattrall. It was a moderate hit and would become a favorite family film. I remember that this movie was a huge VHS Home Video rental. (My sister rented it way too often). It was released on BluRay Disc in 2015.
The story is simple. Jonathan Switcher (Andrew McCarthy) considers himself an artist. He tries to express himself in jobs which he cannot hold. He gets fired a lot because of this self-expression. Then one day. He lands a job dressing mannequins for window display inside a department store. While he works on clothing for a female mannequin, Ema "Emmy" Hesire (Kim Cattrall). She comes alive right in front of him. And.... She only does it for Jonathan. The comedy ensues when everyone in the department store begins to watch him. That includes the head security guard and his bull dog.
"Mannequin" certainly was a water mark for 1980's fashion and hairdos (Big Hair). The fantasy involves a lonely young male who dreams about a beautiful woman. She just happens to be a mannequin. It's also a family film that kids can enjoy. I think that's why it became a huge video rental seller.
The title song from the movie music soundtrack is called, "Nothing's Gonna Stop us Now" (Starship). It hit number #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Pop chart. It was also nominated as best original song at the 1988 Academy Awards (Oscar). I remember the music video for the movie rotated a lot on MTV and VH1 cable channels. (We had cable-TV instead of the Internet back then).
Below is a remastered trailer for "Mannequin" 1987.

48 HOURS on CBS. The first hour segment was called, "The Unending Search for Sarah Anne Wood" (3/15/2025). This was a repeat. Check it out if you missed it.
20/20 says, "The 911 call made hours after the murders is made public and the judge orders the release of documents that could prove key to the case: transcripts of the text messages between the surviving roommates."
"We’ll hear the 911 audio in its entirety. The new judge says he wants more transparency from both sides in Bryan Kohberger’s case. Kayna talks with ABC contributors Julie Scott and Brian Buckmire about the new developments."
