True crime. Real justice. "48 Hours" investigates the most intriguing crime and justice cases that touch on all areas of the human experience including greed and passion. "48 Hours," which premiered in 1988, has developed a rich history of original reporting and impact journalism that has helped exonerate wrongly convicted people, caused cold cases to be reopened and solved, and along the way changed lives.

48 Hours is still the gold standard of true crime reporting. Excellent writing and editing

The photographs of the detective handling evidence without gloves on tells you everything you need to know about that investigative team

In the beginning I started to believe she might have not committed this crime, but by the time she was laying guilt on her daughter and showed no real interest in finding the “presumed” killer, I then began changing my mind. And the fact that her two own sons were testifying against her, spoke volumes to me. Everyone should be held innocent until proven guilty, but the facts clearly pointed towards her— more than on anyone else. She served 20 years for a reason. I don’t believe she was 100% speaking the truth about what happened. Nose bleeding? Who nose-bleeds that much at once? Staining the bed, the floor and so much of the carpet? I’m doubtful

While I'm not sure if she was physically capable of killing her husband in the manner he was killed, two things were left unanswered for her to be believed: the rope around his neck just happened to be the same rope found in the house and blood splatter on the ceiling in the bedroom?! How the hell does blood get on an 8–10 foot high ceiling with no explanation?

[catherinethemba]

I had a cattle ranch for many years. Never had blood splatter in my bedroom.

My biggest question was, "How did Jane manage to get her husband's body through the house and into the truck by herself?" I wouldn't be able to do it. Didn't anyone question that? Wouldn't you see a trail of blood if she dragged him through the house? Even if she cleaned it up, they'd still be able to see it under the carpet like the other blood spots?

[graceboyce]

“what do you believe happened?” Jane: “I believe Bob fell into some kind of situation” bruh

[cathyprosser]

Sometimes there's a case where I do feel that perhaps the wrong person was charged and convicted. This is definitely not one of them. Sorry, Jane. I don't believe you.

Nobody ever said "oh poor Bob, his last moments must have been horrible. Let's find the real killer" Even at the end, Jane is worried about woman in prison. She never says I need to dedicate time to find the real killer. This whole show was about poor Jane. Yes, her freedom was taken, but my god people, Bob was bludgeoned and strangled. I saw no tears or sympathy for Bob from Jane or the kids.

48 Hours is the absolute BEST true crime channel/show.

[Memg]

Wow this episode is EXTREMELY biased towards the wife’s innocence. Very biased. Read the actual story, 48 hours this is bs really. I’m all for the wrongly convicted but SHE KILLED HER HUSBAND WITH FULL EVIDENCE.

[melissab]

Am I the only one who finds Jane completely unsympathetic??

[damaries]

How can a parent, especially a mother, be okay with an attorney implicating their child. I caught what she said about how she'd admit to the killing if it'd take the blame from her daughter. That statement tells me enough

[jacyg.]

I'm 12 mins in and she is lying. And guilty as sin.

[magicworld]

I believe Jane committed the crime in the bedroom. But, I also believe Jane had help getting Bob's body to the field. I think there's probably about three people involved with this crime.

[mariiafilatova]

This episode demonstrates the importance of good housekeeping!

[diannenaworensky]

Thank you 48hours for putting this full episode on

[ninaballerina]

Mother and daughter were least interested to know who bludgeoned and strangled Bob Dorotik. Strange.

[JessicaTaylor-vmms]

She doesn't seem very concerned about what "really" happened to her husband and it's pretty telling that two of her kids believe she did it.

Love waking up to a new 48 Hours episode 😍
