48 HOURS MYSTERY on CBS (2001). Back Then.... The network aired murder and specifically "Mystery" with each episode. The title is now just "48 Hours."
"The Millionaire Boys Club" has been changed to "The College Drug Ring Murder." Three middle class teen boys ran a million dollar drug ring.
2001 - Danny Petrole was a "Chronic" Marijuana dealer who sold nearly $2 million. He was shot 9 times and killed while sitting inside of his car.
2002 - Owen Barber was arrested as the shooter and he claimed Justin Wolfe hired him to kill Danny. Justin spent 5 years buying & selling the "Chronic." All through high school and college. He claimed that he once held $100,000 for just being a distributor. His mom never knew.

Justin owed Danny $60,000. Owen also owed Danny $3,000. Others owed Danny more. Owen claimed that Justin hired him to kill Danny for $20,000. Owen never got that money because Justin says he is lying.
