Perfectly Executed

48 Hours

In 1994, Sultana Rafay, her husband Tariq, and their autistic daughter, Basma, were brutally murdered. Investigators focused on two primary suspects: Atif Rafay, the only surviving family member, and his friend Sebastian Burns. They had taken refuge in Canada and wrote a screenplay with a plot that paralleled the murders. Was the script fiction or a confession? This episode last aired on 9/15/07.
