"20/20" - THE MYSTERY ON JOHNSBURG ROAD

"20/20" Follows Twists and Turns as a Murder Mystery Unravels, Airing Friday, October 3 on ABC

First Time Convicted Murderer Speaks About the Crime He Says He Did Not Commit, Plus Prosecution's Key Witness Tells "20/20" He Lied in Court

How does a man end up spending the next 26 years of his life in prison, convicted for committing a murder at a grocery store with no body, no weapon, and no DNA linking him to the scene? That is exactly what happened to Mario Casciaro in 2013 when he was convicted of killing 17-year-old Brian Carrick, Casciaro's former co-worker and fellow stock boy almost 12 years earlier. Prosecutors were successful in getting a conviction on the very rare and controversial charge of murder by intimidation. Yet, could potentially explosive evidence, including key prosecution witness Shane Lamb recanting his story, help Casciaro prove his innocence? "20/20" follows the clues as the mystery unravels. ABC News Correspondent Ryan Smith's report, which includes exclusive prison interviews with Mario Casciaro who never testified in two trials, and Shane Lamb, who is behind bars for an unrelated crime, airs on "20/20," FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3 (10:01-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

"20/20" is anchored by Elizabeth Vargas and David Muir. David Sloan is senior executive producer.
