Newport Beach, California sits just south of Los Angeles.

It's 2012, and the owner of a marijuana dispensary has been kidnapped, tortured, and left for dead in the Mojave Desert.

It began a decade-long game of cat and mouse between investigators and a perpetrator, a mastermind of escape.

He's a psychopath.

Oh, my God, they let Hannibal Lecter out?

Devil in the Desert is out now.

Hi, everybody. It's Deborah Roberts with 2020, The After Show.

And today, we, like always always are going to bring you a behind

the scenes look at a story that just captivated us because this one deals with love and murder

and it's all wrapped up in the world of athletics. Anna Mariah Wilson was a rising star in the

world of gravel cycling. She was last seen by a fellow cyclist

Colin Strickland before she was shot dead in Austin, Texas. And this was just days before she was

about to participate in a major race. It was a shocking turn of events for so many people who

heard about this. The killer turned out to be another woman,

Caitlin Armstrong, who was in an on-again, off-again relationship with Colin. Our 2020 team

jumped into this story with all the twist and turns with our chief national correspondent Matt

Gutman, who followed the disturbing details of this murder

as a 43-day manhunt for Caitlin spanned multiple states and even other countries, ultimately leading

to her capture in Costa Rica and later on a conviction.

Producers Coutura Gray and Glenn Rupple are here with us.

We all work together on so many different stories.

Glenn, Kattura, great to see you guys.
