HOW DID A FORMER BEAUTY QUEEN END UP AT THE HEART OF A MURDER CASE?

"48 HOURS: DANGEROUS BEAUTY"

Saturday, June 27, 2015 at 10:00 PM, ET/PT

How does a former beauty queen-turned-high-end limo driver end up at the heart of a murder case? Peggy Sue Thomas, a one-time Ms. Washington, told Peter Van Sant she has no reason to want anybody dead. Investigators thought otherwise.

Van Sant and 48 HOURS return to the investigation into the death Russel Douglas, and the trail that led police to Thomas in an updated encore of "Dangerous Beauty" to be broadcast Saturday, June 27 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

"My life became a tabloid story with headlines about 'Drop Dead Gorgeous,'" Thomas told 48 HOURS in her only TV interview. "All I have to say about that is believe none of what you hear and half of what you see."

In 2003, Douglas was found shot dead in his car on Whidbey Island, just north of Seattle, Wash. The investigation into the murder exposed a web of romantic relationships, a twisted tale of revenge, and a case that sat idle until a tipster gave police information that would reignite the investigation. Police learned Douglas' marriage was in trouble, and his wife Brenna's beauty salon was in debt. She was off the island when Douglas was killed and investigators couldn't link her to the murder. Police did find calls between Thomas and Douglas just days before he was killed. Thomas once worked alongside Brenna at the salon.

The case went cold until a tipster called police from Punta Gorda, Fla., more than 3,000 miles away from the crime scene. The man told police his friend, a guitar player named Jim Huden, admitted to him that he had killed Douglas. The tipster said that Huden's then-girlfriend, Thomas, was also involved.

"I have no reason to want anybody dead," Thomas told Van Sant.

What happened to Russel Douglas? And where does Huden fit in? Van Sant and 48 HOURS look at the murder investigation through interviews with Thomas, her ex-husband, Mark Allen, musician Bill Hill, prosecutor Greg Banks, Jim Huden's ex-wife, Jean, and others.
