IT'S A BLOCKBUSTER TWO-HOUR "EXTREME MAKEOVER" YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS! RAY KRONE, EXONERATED FORMER DEATH ROW INMATE NICKNAMED "THE SNAGGLE TOOTH KILLER" -- WHO WAS WRONGLY ACCUSED OF MURDER -- IS RESTORED STOLEN TIME, ON ABC'S "EXTREME MAKEOVER" THURSDAY, FEB. 10

Plus, the Show's First Ever Mother and Daughter Makeover, and Four Real-Life "Desperate Housewives" of Wisteria Lane Are Transformed

"Episode 313" - "Extreme Makeover" grants a second lease on life to seven lucky individuals by offering the makeover of their dreams: Ray Krone of Dover, PA, the former death row inmate known as the "snaggle tooth killer," who was wrongly accused of murder; the first ever mother-daughter extreme makeover - Yvonne Carter and Stephanie DeLaCerda -- and real-life "desperate housewives" Paige Stark, Marissa Kirk-Hill, Cheryl Brown and Kelly Ellis, who live on Wisteria Lane in Santa Rosa, CA, on "Extreme Makeover," THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10 (8:00-10:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

Ray was living a happy life as an Air Force veteran and mailman in Arizona when, out of nowhere, his life took an ugly turn. At the age of 37, he was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death for a murder he did not commit. He was forced to spend ten years in prison, two of which were on death row. Even though Ray was innocent and had an alibi, he was arrested for the murder of a woman who happened to be at the same bar he frequented. Ray felt confident during his trial that the jury would find him innocent. He was wrongfully convicted and labeled the "snaggle tooth killer" because his teeth appeared to match the bite marks on the victim's body. He was sentenced to death row. While Ray was in jail, he never gave up hope, and studied law while his family kept appealing the conviction. After 10 long years, re-examination of the DNA evidence unequivocally proved Ray's innocence. In fact, the actual killer confessed to the crime, which made Ray the 100th person exonerated for a murder conviction. Since his release, he has become a motivational public speaker and travels the country to educate people about his experiences. After being robbed of 10 years of his life, Ray is extremely unhappy with his appearance, as he has aged immensely with the stress and pain from the last decade of his life. An "Extreme Makeover" decriminalizes his looks and finally removes his pain when he looks into the mirror and sees the so-called "snaggle tooth killer."

Ray's procedures included rhinoplasty, brow lift, upper and lower eyelid lift, liposuction of chin, laser resurfacing, acne scar excision, hair transplant, hair restoration, LASIK eye surgery, Fotofacial, polaris treatment, sonopeel, sonofacial, oxygen facial, Smoothbeam laser, filler to acne scars and nasal labial folds, muscle relaxer to forehead, 4 extractions, 4 permanent implants, 17 da Vinci porcelain crowns and veneers, and Zoom whitening.

And Sam Saboura makes a mini-makeover house call to four real-life "desperate housewives" of Wisteria Lane. Living on a street with the same name of the famed neighborhood of ABC's television phenomenon, "Desperate Housewives," these women, as in the TV show, are good friends and neighbors. But while their TV counterparts are sexy, these four women's lives and looks have been anything but. Paige, a 30-year-old single mother and Sonoma County Housing Authority clerk, lives for her 6-1/2-year-old son, Chaise, but she is desperately seeking love again and would like to remarry. Marissa, a hard working, 27-year-old hair stylist and mother, co-runs a salon with her mother, but she is desperate to be as pampered as her customers and family. Cheryl, a fun loving 44-year-old mother and bookkeeper, has "desperately dated hair," sporting a dark purple mullet haircut for 25 years. Kelly, a 45-year-old mother and Hollywood legend Mickey Rooney's daughter, is "desperate to be sexy" for herself and husband David. But after Sam and the extreme team are done with their hair/wardrobe/makeup transformations, these four housewives will be desperate no more.

"Extreme Makeover" is produced by New Screen Entertainment and Lighthearted Entertainment. Chuck Bangert, Lou Gorfain and Howard Schultz are the executive producers. Julie Laughlin is co- executive producer.
