48 Hours Mystery Season 37 Episode 42 Cati Blauvelt: Death of a Soldier's Wife

The body of 22-year-old Cati Blauvelt was discovered in an abandoned farmhouse in Simpsonville, S.C., on Oct. 26, 2016. Almost immediately, her friends had one suspect in mind, John Blauvelt, Cati Blauvelt's estranged husband and a once-respected army recruiter. Their brief marriage had ended in turmoil, with Cati Blauvelt filing a domestic violence report against him. As police investigated, another name entered the picture, 17-year-old Hannah Thompson, who had moved in with John Blauvelt as his marriage unraveled. With no hard evidence to hold him, authorities were powerless to stop what happened next. Declared armed and dangerous, John Blauvelt vanished into the night, taking Thompson with him … and then the manhunt began.
