"In all my years of reporting for '48 Hours' I’ve never encountered anything as heartbreaking as a kid having a picture of his football coach on his wall – not knowing that the coach murdered his mother. The coach kept driving the kid to practice after the killing. The sheer, chilling sociopathy of the coach took my breath away." — Jim Axelrod on why the story is important.
