48 HOURS: “Good Cop/Bad Cop: Solving the Murder of Heather Bogle” was Saturday’s #1 non-sports program with viewers, according to Nielsen live plus same day ratings for Saturday, Oct. 19. The broadcast delivered 3.01 million viewers.

Saturday’s broadcast featured CBS News chief investigative and senior national correspondent Jim Axelrod and 48 HOURS’ investigation into the murder of Heather Bogle, a single Ohio mother, and the unusual police investigation into what happened.

Bogle’s murder kicked off a year-long investigation in which the lead detective doggedly pursued three innocent people – Omar Satchel, Kayree Jeffrey and Keyona Bor – while the real killer walked free. It’s a case that wrecked the life of an innocent woman, as Detective Sean O’Connell pursued it, delaying justice for Bogle’s family, who were struggling to deal with what happened to their loved one. And it’s a story that ultimately turns on good police work following bad work.

Detective O’Connell, investigators would later learn, ignored potentially exculpatory evidence that could have eliminated Satchel, Jeffrey and Bor as suspects. O’Connell would eventually become the subject of a criminal investigation himself.

Then Sandusky County Sheriff Chris Hilton ordered the investigation to begin from scratch, which included key GPS information from Bogle’s phone. That led them to the home of Daniel Myers – someone who worked with Bogle. They discovered evidence in his trailer that made them believe Myers was a sexual predator. After his arrest, the prosecutor says 10 women came forward and alleged he raped them.
