48 HOURS: “What Happened to Rachael?” was Saturday’s #1 non-sports primetime program with viewers, according to Nielsen live plus same day ratings for Sept. 7. The encore broadcast delivered 3.47 million viewers and a 0.7/03 with adults 25-54.

The broadcast featured Erin Moriarty and 48 HOURS’ investigation into the murder of Rachael DelTondo outside of her home in a small Pennsylvania city and the search for answers. More than a year after DelTondo was gunned down, there are plenty of theories, but no arrests, leaving some to wonder if the case will ever be solved. It’s a case that shook Aliquippa, Pa., and remains the ninth unsolved murder in a city with an underfunded and understaffed police department. There are numerous potential leads for police to follow, including a young Aliquippa High School athlete named Sheldon Jeter and DelTondo’s ex-fiance Frank Catroppa. Both Catroppa and Jeter deny any involvement in Rachael’s death. Local writer and CBS News contributor John Paul says DelTondo was afraid of a lot of people, including the Aliquippa Police.
