CBS’s “48 Hours” revisits a chilling Los Angeles case this Saturday, with a sobering look at the aftermath of a serial predator’s reign of terror. David Pearce, convicted of murdering two young women and sexually assaulting seven others, awaits sentencing, but the story is far from over. “48 Hours” correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti, who has been following this story for over three years, provides an update on the legal proceedings while also giving a voice to one of the survivors.
In an exclusive interview, a woman identified as “Jackie” shares her harrowing experience, refusing to be defined by the trauma she endured. Her words are a testament to the strength of the human spirit: “I’m a fighter,” she declares. It’s a powerful message of resilience. “Dead Girls Don’t Talk” gives a platform to “Jackie” and other survivors, shifting the focus from the perpetrator to the courage and resilience of those he harmed.
The episode also features interviews with LAPD Detective Jonathan Vander Lee and Lieutenant Calvin You, offering insights into the investigative work that led to Pearce’s capture and conviction. It’s a look at the painstaking process of piecing together a complicated case, a grim reminder of the human cost of such crimes. “48 Hours” airs Saturday, March 29th at 10:00 PM ET/PT on CBS.
