SUSAN ZIRINSKY – EXECUTIVE PRODUCER,  48 HOURS: DEVIL’S ISLAND

48 HOURS: DEVIL’S ISLAND – An ex-Marine with a secret life has a girlfriend who goes missing in Panama – was it murder?

Peter Van Sant and 48 HOURS travel to Panama to investigate the disappearance and death of a California woman who moved there with a boyfriend, who turned out not to be as perfect as he seemed in, “Devil’s Island” to be broadcast Nov. 15, 2014 (10:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Looking for a fresh start, Yvonne Baldelli and her boyfriend Brian Brimager moved to the beach-side community in Panama. He was an ex-Marine trying to make a go of it as a bar singer. She planned on making bathing suits and sell them to tourists.

Baldelli described a life of bliss in Panama in frequent emails to family members. But then the emails stopped. And about a month after the last email, Valenzuela got a text from Brimager saying he was back in the United States, without Baldelli. In an email sent earlier, that Valenzuela had overlooked, Brimager wrote he and Baldelli had broken up after she found out Brimager had a child with another woman.

The news would rock Baldelli’s family and kick off a search for the young woman who appeared to have a bright future ahead. Instead, they would face driving a two-country investigation into the disappearance – and ultimately, the death of Yvonne Baldelli.
The police investigation would lead through the swamps of Panama and back to San Diego, where they learned Brimager was leading a second life and had a wife. Baldelli’s family also learned the couple was not as happy as suggested. There were stories of heavy drinking and fighting.

Van Sant and the 48 HOURS team travel to Panama to follow police searching a swamp for Baldelli’s remains and talk to locals about the couple. Van Sant and the team also confront  Brimager in San Diego, where he lives with his wife and child. Will he talk?
