Jodi Arias, the young Mormon woman accused of seducing and killing a popular motivational speaker from Mesa, was featured over the weekend in an hour-long episode of CBS’ “48 Hours Mystery.” In the show, she declared her innocence and talked of the night of the killing when, she said, a pair of masked attackers burst in on her and victim Travis Alexander during a rendezvous at his Mesa house.
The episode featured very little new information about last year’s killing. However, it included in-depth interviews with the lead detective in the case, as well as Alexander’s friends and family members, many of whom are likely witnesses when Arias goes to trial on suspicion of first-degree murder sometime next year. It aired Saturday night, but Heat City has the whole episode streaming above.
“I’ve cried deeply, thousands of tears since his passing,” Arias told the show. “I loved him and I still love him.”
