Tonight On 48 Hours Here’s a look at what’s coming up on Saturday’s 48 HOURS MYSTERY, The Guessing Game:
In Katy, TX, near Houston, David Temple was a gifted athlete. He won a football scholarship to play at Stephen F Austin University and on the field, he was known as “The Temple of Doom.” Off the field, he was a bit of a romantic - especially when it came to an attractive physical education major, Belinda Lucas. Not long after, the two married and settled into careers in education, both ended up working with children.
By all accounts, the Temples were both devoted to their son Evan… and three years later, the birth of their daughter was just a few weeks away. But on January 11th, 1999, all that would change. David arrived home to find Belinda slumped on the floor of her closet… but as he made a desperate call to 911 for help, he knew his wife had no chance. . . she’d been shot in the head. And there was also no hope for the baby she was expecting.
In the days that followed, detectives began canvassing the neighbors. . . Everyone pretty much agreed that the Temples seemed like a happy couple. But the police would soon that one young neighbor lied about his whereabouts that day. . . and he had a run-in with Belinda before. . . Did he have something to do with her murder? And was David Temple hiding something of his own? Richard Schlesinger has an EXCLUSIVE with David Temple - his first network interview - in this week’s 48 Hours Mystery.
48 HOURS MYSTERY airs Saturday at 10pmET/9CT
Tonight On The CBS Evening News
Here’s an early look at what we are working on for tonight’s broadcast from Anchor and Managing Editor, Katie Couric:
Hi everyone,
The November jobs report is out, and it’s not good. Employers cut 533,000 jobs last month, bringing the unemployment rate to 6.7 percent, the highest rate in 34 years. The number of jobs lost in this economy has now declined for 11 straight months. Anthony Mason will crunch the numbers, while Cynthia Bowers reports on the fallout of these hard times: more men and women are opting to re-enlist in the military when their tours are finished, rather than enter the tough U.S. job market.
Meanwhile, the Big Three CEOs are back on Capitol Hill, but it’s still not clear if they’ll receive any of the $34 billion bailout that they’re asking for from Congress. Sharyl Attkisson is covering the hearings.
Next: OJ Simpson is going to prison. More than a decade ago, he was acquitted of murder in what was perhaps the most-watched trial of the 20th century. But today, the former football great was sentenced to as much as 33 years for armed robbery. John Blackstone has the story.
Doctors know best when it comes to disease, but patients know what it’s like to actually live with an illness. Tonight, Dr. Sanjay Gupta reports on new websites that allow patients to join forces online to discuss options and to learn about new treatments. It’s part of our series, Second Opinion: Medicine Online.
In Iraq, terrorist groups are increasingly using women as suicide bombers, because they’re rarely checked for weapons. In an exclusive report, Elizabeth Palmer interviews a 15-year-old who says she was almost tricked into becoming a human bomb. It’s a harrowing story you won't want to miss.
Finally, at one small company in the Midwest, employees expected to lose their jobs. Instead, they got a great big surprise. Steve Hartman reports, in tonight’s Assignment America.
Have a great weekend!
Katie

Here's What We've Planned For Sunday Morning CHARLES OSGOOD ANCHORS FROM NEW YORK
STOP LOSS: The current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are stressing America’s all-volunteer Armed Forces like never before, forcing thousands of personnel to remain in the military well past their terms of enlistment. The demands of fighting two wars simultaneously with an all-volunteer force have blurred the meaning of the word "volunteer": thousands of soldiers have been ordered to fight on even after their term of enlistment has expired, a policy known as "stop-loss". It's often frustrating to the soldiers, agonizing to their families, and, in the military's view, absolutely necessary. Tracy Smith reports on the policy.
SUNDAY ALMANAC: A page from our Sunday Morning Almanac ... December 7th, 1863. . . 145 years ago. . . a day made to order for folks who order from catalogues.
THE SINGING PRIESTS: Three Irish Catholic priests are unlikely candidates to make a hit record, but that is just what has happened. Father’s Tom and Martin O’Hagan, and Father David Delargy each have their own parishes in Northern Ireland, where they tend to the needs of their congregation - offering Masses, performing weddings and funerals.
These days, they are on tour worldwide, promoting their hit record on the Sony label - entitled, fittingly, the Priests. An album full of the religious songs they have sung together since they were boy, and which have been sung in churches around the world for hundreds of years. This Sunday Morning, Allen Pizzey will introduce you to with Fathers David, Martin and Tom in Rome, at the Vatican’s beautiful Capella Guilia chapel, where they cut their first CD with the Vatican choir.
THE ASTORS: The legendary Brooke Astor died last year at the remarkable age of 105. Until the end, the socialite was one of the country’s most generous philanthropists. As her grave stone puts it best, she led a “wonderful life.” For four decades, she was a Patron Saint of New York - revitalizing the city, giving generously to the New York Public Library, the Metropolitan Museum, and the Bronx Zoo, and helping to renovate housing in Harlem. But in her later years, even her immense wealth and kindness could not protect her from personal tragedy. Brooke Astor’s only son, Tony Marshall, is slated to stand trial next month for allegedly stealing from his mother while she suffered from Alzheimer’s disease. Mr. Marshall, along with his attorney, is accused of coercing Mrs. Astor into changing her will that left the bulk of her money to charity.
This Sunday Morning, Erin Moriarty reports on the life of Brooke Astor and the family feud that led to a court battle over her fortune. We’ll talk to friends and family; interview the author of a new book that explores what went wrong at the end of Mrs. Astor’s life; and we’ll hear from Mrs. Astor herself, as she described her world more than twenty years ago to Mike Wallace.
FROST/NIXON: It was a monumental time in television history, both for what transpired on-camera, and off… When disgraced former President Richard Nixon sat-down for a series of interviews with British talk show host David Frost in May of 1977, few anticipated the result - least of all, David Frost himself. It was a sort of televised trial, one in which Nixon showed the American public more candor than anyone had thought possible - reaching an unprecedented 45 million viewers. The drama of how these interviews came into-being is the subject of the film “Frost/Nixon,” released this week by director Ron Howard and starring Frank Langella as Richard Nixon - a role that won him a Tony award on Broadway and is expected to garner an Oscar nomination this year. This Sunday Morning, Anthony Mason sits down with Sir David Frost for a probing interview of his own - and gets the real story-behind-the-story.
ENCHANTED: Harry Smith speaks with actress Amy Adams, star of the Disney hit “Enchanted,” about her dramatic turn in the big screen adaptation of the Tony-winning play, “Doubt.”
OPINION: Mo Rocca on presidential pets.
HIGH SEAS: Jerry Bowen on Larry Ellison and the America’s Cup.
