48 Hours Cati Blauvelt: Death of a Soldier’s Wife Airs March 8 2025 on CBS

This Saturday, March 8, 2025, at 10:00 PM ET/PT, 48 Hours presents “Cati Blauvelt: Death of a Soldier’s Wife”, a gripping investigation into the murder of 22-year-old Cati Blauvelt and the mysterious disappearance of her estranged husband, John Blauvelt, following her death.

Correspondent Peter Van Sant reports on this tragic case, where Cati Blauvelt’s body was discovered in an abandoned farmhouse in Simpsonville, South Carolina, on October 26, 2016. From the beginning, Cati’s friends had one person in mind as a suspect: her estranged husband, John Blauvelt, a once-respected army recruiter. Their brief marriage had ended in turmoil, with Cati filing a domestic violence report against John. But as authorities dug deeper, another name surfaced—17-year-old Hannah Thompson, who had moved in with John as his marriage fell apart. With no solid evidence to hold John, the authorities couldn’t prevent what came next: John Blauvelt and Thompson went on the run, setting off a nationwide manhunt.

48 Hours delves into the investigation and the details of the manhunt that followed. Interviews with key figures, including U.S. Marshals William Cook and Chris Tamayo, investigators Keith Morecraft and Cheryl Schofield, and Cati’s close friend Aly Somerville, provide new insights into the case and the search for justice.

Join 48 Hours for a compelling and intense episode as the mystery of Cati Blauvelt’s death unfolds and investigators work tirelessly to uncover the truth. Tune in this Saturday, March 8, at 10:00 PM ET/PT for “Cati Blauvelt: Death of a Soldier’s Wife”.
