This Friday, May 1: La Jolla murder

Posted: Wednesday, April 29, 2009 6:02 PM by Elizabeth Chuck

It's the kind of place where the great unknown in most teenagers' lives might seem to be what college they'll attend. But now a wealthy beach community is trying to understand a much bigger unknown: What led some of America's most privileged young people to turn on one of their own - a local surfer about to hit the bigtime? It started as just a group of youths out for a night of fun. So how did a fight over a spilled drink end with one of them dead? A wake up call for parents everywhere.

Keith Morrison has the story of The Surfer and the Bird Rock Bandits, Friday on Dateline at 9 p.m. ET, 8 p.m. CT.
