20/20 Gone Before the Storm Airs August 23 2024 on ABC

On August 23, 2024, ABC’s “20/20” will revisit a haunting case from 1998 involving Anthony Harris, who was just 12 years old when he confessed to the murder of his 5-year-old neighbor, Devan Duniver, in a small Ohio town. Despite his conviction and two years spent in juvenile detention, Harris and his legal team have consistently maintained his innocence, alleging that his confession was the result of coercive interrogation tactics.

John Quiñones of ABC News will delve into Harris’s story, exploring why he confessed to a crime he did not commit and the severe psychological trauma he endured. The episode will also revisit the search for Devan Duniver, focusing on the woods behind her home where her body was discovered. The program will feature interviews with key witnesses and search party members who reported seeing a suspicious individual during the search, potentially linked to the case.

With the killer still unidentified, the show will highlight how recent “20/20” interviews have prompted the district attorney to reexamine the case and question these witnesses again. The episode will include insights from Harris’s public defender, Tarin Hale, as well as his appeal and civil lawsuit lawyers, Daniel Warren and Geoffrey Mearns. Viewers will also hear from Dan Risinger, the police officer who received the initial missing person call, journalists who covered the case, and legal experts. Additionally, the episode will include archival footage from Quiñones’ 1999 interview with Harris and interviews with Devan’s mother, Lori Duniver, and Anthony’s mother, Cyndi Harris.

The program airs from 9:01 to 11:00 p.m. EDT on ABC and will be available the next day on Hulu.
