'First Comes Love, Then Comes Murder' Airs Friday, July 24, on ABC and Streams Next Day on Disney+ and Hulu

When a wife and mother in an affluent suburb of Washington, D.C., fails to show up for work, her boss and husband go to her home to look for her. However, upon arrival, they find a crime scene awaiting them. A 911 call prompts authorities to discover the body of Leslie Preer. While investigating the murder, authorities initially set their sights on Leslie's husband as a suspect, but when DNA under Leslie's fingernails points to an unknown male, the case goes cold - until nearly 25 years later, when DNA evidence is collected at a D.C.-area airport, leading authorities straight to the killer. ABC News correspondent Stephanie Ramos reports in "20/20: First Comes Love, Then Comes Murder," FRIDAY, JULY 24 (9:00-11:00 p.m. EDT), and streams next day on Disney+ and Hulu. (Rebroadcast.
