ON AN ALL-NEW ‘20/20,’ “LOST IN THE NIGHT: WHO MURDERED JESSICA CURRIN?’ REPORTS ON A YOUNG MOTHER SAVAGELY MURDERED AND SET ON FIRE, AIRING FRIDAY, OCT. 24, ON ABC

Jessica Currin was an 18-year-old young mother and the daughter of the local fire lieutenant in her hometown of Mayfield, Kentucky. When Jessica goes missing, her parents launch a desperate search. Two days later, they are shocked when a teacher finds her body burned behind the local middle school. Evidence found nearby leads the medical examiner to conclude she had been strangled with a belt. After nearly seven years without answers about her murder, a third agency takes on the case, and a witness confesses to authorities that she was present during the killing, leading authorities to a man named Quincy Cross. But now, the witness and another woman who testified against Cross say they lied and don’t know who killed Jessica. The Kentucky Innocence Project has taken on the case and is arguing that Cross was wrongfully convicted, although the state stands by the verdict. Today, Jessica’s father, Joe Currin, has developed a friendship with the father of his daughter’s convicted killer. J

AN ALL-NEW ‘20/20’ REPORTS ON AN OUTRAGEOUS PLOT TO KILL INVOLVING SEX, SECRETS AND SCANDAL

When 46-year-old father of four Greg Rice of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, failed to pick up his children for a scheduled visit, his ex-girlfriend of 15 years, Meagan Jackson, grew alarmed and reported him missing to police. It appeared as if Greg had just vanished into thin air. When police questioned Meagan, cameras captured her telling investigators she never saw Greg on the evening of his disappearance, but digital evidence and surveillance footage painted a different picture. Police discovered Meagan, who worked as a body transporter driving the dead to local funeral parlors, may have known more than she let on — and she was not alone — her married lover, Deputy Coroner Chris Dontell, was right by her side. Weeks later, the case took an unexpected turn when Greg’s body was found floating in a river, and items recovered led police to a witness. Correspondent John Quiñones reports in an all-new episode of “20/20: Driven to Death,” FRIDAY, OCT. 17 (9:00-11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC and s
