'48 Hours' episode 'Widows War' grabs paltry 2.61 TV ratings overall

The 48 HOURS (CBS) episode "Widows War" aired last Saturday night (3/30/2019). It was reported by Peter Van Sant. In the overnight TV ratings it had garnered 2.61 million TV viewers overall. It reached 0.3 million TV viewers according to the 18 to 49 adult demographic. "SNL" (NBC) grabbed 2.55 overall & 0.5 with adults. "20/20" (ABC) nabbed 2.32 overall & 0.3 with adults. 

"Widow's War." Michael Stahlman was serving in the Iraq war 2008. He was found in his bed with a gunshot wound to the head. His body was flown back to the U.S. His wife soon took him off life support because he was brain dead. Michael had written down notes in a pad about the corrupt military in Iraq. He claimed that some American soldiers worked for the enemy in Iraq. Anyone could walk onto the desert military base to possibly kill him. Did he know too much? The U.S. military came to the conclusion that Michael killed himself. There was no evidence of a break-in of his room. What happened?
