Saturday’s broadcast featured Peter Van Sant and 48 HOURS’ report on the ongoing family feud that began even before the death of radio legend Casey Kasem more than four years ago between his wife, Jean Kasem, and his three adult children, Kerri, Julie and Michael. After Kasem died on Father’s Day, June 15, 2014, the feud turned nuclear as both sides accused each other of hastening his death, as they battled over his enormous estate and his final resting place. That battle continues today.

Van Sant and 48 HOURS explore the host’s life, death and legacy in “The Mysterious Death of Casey Kasem,” which is produced by Chuck Stevenson and Resa Matthews. Alicia Tejada is the field producer. Anthony Batson is the senior broadcast producer. Nancy Kramer is the executive story editor. Susan Zirinsky is the senior executive producer.
