Today On 'Anderson' -- Crime & Mystery!

'DWTS' Castoff / True Crime Stories / Anderson's Mystery Guest

Friday, April 27, 2012

Fresh from the "Dancing with the Stars" stage, the latest castoff joins Anderson to discuss the emotional departure, and what it has meant to be a part of the show. Find out the real backstage drama -- and who might be crowned the winner.

Then, Anderson is going behind the headlines of true crime stories involving children of incarcerated parents. Imagine what it would be like to have your mother or father behind bars. When everyone says they're guilty, how do you keep the faith and believe they're innocent?

Today, Anderson will meet a daughter who helped get her mother released for a crime she says she did not commit. The mom was released on a technicality, but now they’re in the fight of their lives to keep mom from being returned to prison. Beyond the question of guilt or innocence, Anderson will find out what the ordeal has been like from the daughter's point of view.

Plus, meet two brothers whose lives were forever changed when their father was found guilty of murdering their mother.

As a child, one of them testified in his dad's trial, and in retrospect, the sons feel that police coerced them into making statements that implicated their father in their mother’s fiery death. See how DNA evidence might be a clue to what really happened that night… and what fate has in store for their father.

Plus, remember how much fun it was to watch Anderson meet his last mystery guest? On Friday, there’s another legendary figure set to surprise Anderson. Will he guess who it is? You don't want to miss this!
