05/03 Shelley Kekuna, Kaanapali, Richard Schlesinger, 48 Hours, Steve Evans

Shelley Kekuna Kaanapali  Beach Resort

Kaanapali is a three-mile stretch of beach that has been touted as one of the best beaches on Maui, and even in America. Long ago, these sands and lush gardens were enjoyed by Hawaiian kings and queens who sought a relaxing, rejuvenating retreat. The land itself was once comprised of green sugar cane and taro, grown with the help of the Maui sun and a freshwater spring. This magical spot is steeped in culture, from when it was used as a training ground for Hawaiian warriors in ancient times, to the romantic days of “Old Hawaii” in the ’30s and ’40s, to the present.


Richard Schlesinger - "48 Hours"

48 HOURS " Over The Edge " airs on Saturday, May 4, 2013 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) Chef David Viens was known for serving up dishes at top restaurants from the east coast to the west.  But in 2011, he gained a different kind of notoriety: killing his wife, and disposing of her body in gruesome fashion.  Dawn Viens, David’s wife and business partner, disappeared in October 2009.  Although he was initially questioned by police, it was David’s daughter who delivered the major break in the case.  As suspicion surrounding David hit a crescendo, the disgraced chef plunged off a 100-foot cliff with cops in hot pursuit.  Somehow, he survived – to stand trial for murdering his wife.  Investigators believe he killed her in a violent rage and possibly cooked her bones to get rid of the body, which has never been found.  Richard Schlesinger speaks to Viens in his only interview to date.
