48 Hours The Bathtub Murder of Kendy Howard Airs May 3 2025 on CBS

This Saturday, May 3 2025, at 9:00 PM ET/PT, 48 Hours presents an encore episode of “The Bathtub Murder of Kendy Howard”, a chilling investigation into the death of Kendy Howard, and whether her husband, former Idaho state trooper Dan Howard, used his law enforcement skills to stage her death.

On the night of Kendy’s death, Dan Howard called sheriff’s deputies to their northern Idaho home, claiming he had found his wife dead in their bathtub from a gunshot wound to the head. While Dan initially told investigators it was a suicide, the crime scene raised immediate suspicions. There was a gun found in the bathtub, but it bore no fingerprints or DNA evidence linking it to Dan. Additionally, there were odd details at the scene, such as a packed duffle bag ready to go and a clothes dryer running with clean towels. Dan also appeared freshly showered and changed when police arrived, raising more questions.

Former detectives and experts weigh in on the case, with some suggesting that Dan, with his law enforcement background, might have known how to stage the scene to make it look like a suicide. Two years after Kendy’s death, Dan Howard was charged with her murder, and the case moved forward with mounting evidence that pointed to foul play.
