Saturday's broadcast featured Troy Roberts and the 48 Hours team's report on the murder of Fontainebleau Hotel heir Benji Novack, who was found dead in 2009 at a hotel in Rye Brook, N.J. Novack was a self-made multi-millionaire who friends said ruled his conference planning empire by fear. He was known as a collector of Batman memorabilia and routinely cheated on his wife, Narcy Novack. He left behind plenty of potential suspects. The investigation also led to Miami where a reporter raised questions about the death of his mother, three months before Benji Novack was killed. It was ruled an accident, but was it?
