On Friday, June 26, at 9 p.m. ET, 8 p.m. CT, NBC will re-air "Farrah's Story," a two-hour documentary about Fawcett's battle with cancer that she shot with her own video camera over the past two and a half years. The special, which first aired last month on NBC, is intensely intimate and emotional. It is Farrah's story in her own words as she explains her battle and her journey with cancer, and it is her narration that tells this story.
In January, Dateline NBC ran a report on Rachel Hoffman, a 23-year-old middle-class college grad who, after getting caught with marijuana for a second time, became a confidential informant for the Tallahassee, Fla. police department to avoid charges that could land her behind bars. Her story ended in tragedy: Police sent Hoffman out on a secret drug sting, and she was shot to death. Her parents, heartbroken, demanded to know where the officers who swore to protect her were at the time of the shooting. They got no answers.
On May 7, 2009, the one-year anniversary of Hoffman's death, Gov. Charlie Crist, R-Fla., signed Rachel's Law, which requires law enforcement to make safety the highest priority when conducting operations involving the use of confidential informants, and to have policies and procedures that consider a person's age and maturity and the potential of physical harm before having someone become a confidential informant.
To watch the full Dateline hour on Hoffman's case, "Deadly Dealing," click below:
Investigators called it one of the most unusual and bizarre cases they'd ever seen: A man seemingly killed in a fire in his garage. It certainly looked like an accident, but police would soon uncover evidence of something far more disturbing: A deadly plot, that would involve a switched identity, millions of dollars, and a heartbroken family, miles away.
See it Monday night on Dateline NBC at 10 p.m. ET, 9 p.m. CT.
