48 HOURS (10 p.m., CBS) - Correspondent Peter Van Sant investigates the death of Christian Andreacchio, a young Mississippi man, and new information uncovered by “48 HOURS” that gives his family hope in their search for justice. Andreacchio died from a single bullet wound to his head, found inside the bathroom of his apartment by his live-in girlfriend Whitley Goodman and his friend Dylan Swearingen on Feb. 26, 2014. Authorities ruled his death a suicide, but his family believes he was murdered. In reporting the story, “48 HOURS” discovered a report not presented to the grand jury in 2017. When told of the discovery by “48 HOURS,” prosecutor Kassie Coleman said she was willing to reconvene a grand jury. Note: There’s a great podcast on this case called Culpable.
