How can I get a DVD or video tape copy of this show? While trying to finalize the DVD recording I made of last night''s show (burn the disc), it was erased when my DVD recorder malfunctioned (like when a computer freezes, has to be shut down and restarted resulting in lost data). I would like to purchase a DVD of this show if possible. If anyone has information about how to get a DVD copy of this show, I''d really appreciate it. Thanks.

Thank you, JackSpratzer! My sentiments exactly. I am from the Philippines and has been living here in the US for 18 years...and I didn''t get here by marrying an American serviceman or citizen. My family was sponsored by my aunt who had been here since the 1960s, a hardworking doctor who had paid her dues to be where she is (and I don''t mean geographically) without help from anybody.

As for this tragic case, I feel for the families of Mr Bourdeau and Mr Risken. Nobody---the victims and families---should have to go through such heartache. A bad person is a bad person, no matter the color or social status. I''m almost not surprised that the authorities is seemingly not pursuing Rios'' murder (just based on what was said on the show). I do hope the Risken family will eventually be able to obtain Larry''s remains, even if, sadly, they might never be able to find the people who committed the crime.

I can''t believe the comments here. You folks are obviously very much prejudice against Filipinas. You make it sound as though all Filipinas (women of the Philippines) are cold, calculating, cheats or worse. I think you%u2019ll find many American women who are bad people too. Race does not play a role in this and I think you should be ashamed of yourselves.

You all obviously have had minimal experience with the Philippines and her people. I%u2019ve lived there for years and frequently visit there. I have been married to a wonderful Filipina for over 20 years. We have beautiful and successful children and my wife is a hard working, great wife and mother. Don%u2019t be racist. Don%u2019t paint a race of people with a broad brush. I know the Philippines and her people and I can tell you that the Filipino people a kind, loving, polite and generous. Of course there are a few bad apples but I find life here in the U.S. a much more violent and mean place to live. You%u2019ll find bad people in every race. Stop being racists.

It''s really unfair. American men do incredibly stupid things to please foreign wives, but won''t do anything stupid to please American wives.

Thank You "48 Hours" for footing the bill of the DNA and forensic research on the long dead Marine. This was the first time with this show, I was near tears when the bones of the lost brother was returned to the U.S. Now, he can rest in peace alongside his parents.
As for this Filipino woman Sonia. YOU LIVE BY THE SWORD. YOU DIE BY THE SWORD. If she ordered the assassinations of her two husbands, then she deserved whatever she got. Sadly, two good men who REALLY are U.S. Patriots, were killed. They gave her Freedom to seek out the American Dream and to live it.
Yet, it seems Sonia was raised to manipulate and hate all the men in her life. It is ironic that she may have been killed by her own greedy nephew. SO BE IT!

I just caught the last half hour. Oh, this is like a novel. I believe that Sonjia was the culprit in the whole plot. She wanted money, she got it. Her nephew wanted money, he didn''t get it. I believe the nephew is the person who killed all these people. I believe that in the beginning Sonjia instigated the whole thing and then when thing started getting hot, he killed her. Come on, 250G for the ashes of someone that you loved, guilty, guilty, guilty. Things are not much different now in the Phillipines, they want money, believe me. I have a cousing that is hooked into their scams right now and noone can open his eyes. The nephew should be taken in for ex questioning.
