Classic Podcast '48 Hours' episode 'Anchors Away' with Maureen Maher

48 Hours says, "In November 2004, Tom and Jackie Hawks, an Arizona couple, were killed in a well-thought-out, diabolical plot. Former child actor Skylar Deleon feigned interest in buying the couple’s yacht. During the cruise, the Hawks were forced to sign over ownership of their yacht and power of attorney for their bank accounts."

"Accomplices Alonso Machain (a prison guard) and John Fitzgerald Kennedy (a Los Angeles gang member), helped Deleon kill the couple during a test cruise by tying them to an anchor and throwing them overboard from the yacht off Southern California. 

“48 Hours" correspondent Maureen Maher reports. 

This classic "48 Hours" episode last aired on 6/12/2010.

NOTE: I remember this episode. Chilling, diabolical and horrific. This was the best investigative report on this double murder. "Dateline" and "20/20" covered this also.
