"48 HOURS" DOUBLE FEATURE

SATURDAY, JULY 31

9:00 PM, ET/PT - 48 HOURS: "Lizzie Borden Took an Axe" - Correspondent Erin Moriarty and 48 HOURS investigate a double homicide that captured the nation, and take a fresh look at a very cold case that turns up surprising results in an encore of "Lizzie Borden Took an Axe" to be broadcast Saturday, July 31 (9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Folks have sung the rhyme "Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother 40 whacks ... " But was the rhyme correct? Did Borden kill her father and stepmother in 1892? And what if everything people think they know about the case is completely wrong? Borden, then 32, was acquitted of using a hatchet to brutally hack to death her father and stepmother. Moriarty and 48 HOURS take a new look at the case and present it to a jury today to see if they can separate fact from fable. Watch a preview.

10:00 PM, ET/PT - 48 HOURS: "The Murder of Anna Repkina" - Correspondent Tracy Smith and 48 HOURS investigate the death of Anna Repkina, the case against Will Hargrove and the love triangle at the center of the story in an encore of "The Murder of Anna Repkina" to be broadcast Saturday, July 31 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Moscow, Russia, native Repkina was found murdered on a remote Oregon logging road in April 2017. Just days later, police arrested American Hargrove. Repkina met Hargrove online and after a whirlwind romance, the pair got engaged. What Repkina didn't know when she relocated to the U.S. to marry Hargrove was that she was moving into the middle of a love triangle. Repkina's body was discarded alongside pieces of trash. There was a KFC bag with a receipt dated April 14, 2017, which turned out to be just a few days before she was found. That led police to Hargrove, who lied to investigators saying he'd met Repkina locally and had dated her just twice before breaking it off. Hargrove didn't tell police that he'd been dating Michelle Chavez the whole time he'd been romancing Repkina. Once Chavez found out Repkina had moved to Oregon to marry Hargrove, she put her foot down. Chavez, who has not been charged with a crime, admits in an interview with Smith that she gave Hargrove an ultimatum - he had to choose between her and Repkina. Did that ultimatum lead to murder? Watch a preview.
