The Staircase
60 Minutes
There's one mystery millions of armchair detectives around the world are right now trying to solve. Just how did 48-year-old Kathleen Peterson end up dead at the bottom of the staircase in her family home. Did she fall? Was she beaten to death? Or bizarrely, is an owl to blame? The case has attracted so much interest it has been the subject of an award-winning documentary as well as a recently released drama series. On 60 MINUTES, Tara Brown interviews Kathleen's husband, Michael Peterson. He is the novelist who was convicted of his wife's murder, sentenced to life without parole, and then, intriguingly and unexpectedly, released.
