Dateline NBC is airing a two-hour special Friday night on Michael Peterson, the one-time Durham socialite turned convicted killer.

Last month, Peterson entered an Alford plea to the charge of voluntary manslaughter for the death of his wife, Kathleen, in 2001. The plea allowed the novelist to accept a guilty verdict in what had been one of the longest trials in North Carolina history without admitting guilt.

According to a press release from NBC, โ€œDown the Back Staircase โ€ will include interviews with Peterson as well as Kathleenโ€™s sister, Candace Zamperini; Petersonโ€™s daughters, Martha Ratliff and Margaret Ratliff; Petersonโ€™s brother, Bill Peterson; Detective Art Holland; former Assistant District Attorney Freda Black; Petersonโ€™s defense attorney, David Rudolf; and Kathleenโ€™s daughter, Caitlin Atwater. (Atwater spoke to the INDY about her mother prior to Petersonโ€™s plea deal.)

Dateline is billing the special, featuring correspondent Dennis Murphy, as โ€œone of the most compelling mysteries weโ€™ve ever covered as you havenโ€™t heard it before.โ€ In a clip, Peterson tells Murphy that taking the plea last month was โ€œthe most difficult decision I ever made in my life.โ€

Peterson has maintained for fifteen years that he not did kill his wife. He was convicted of murdering her in 2003, but that conviction was overturned in 2011 after a judge ruled that an SBI agent had misled jurors about his findings analyzing the blood at the Petersonโ€™s Cedar Street home. Peterson was granted a retrial that was scheduled for May 2017. Instead, Peterson took the Alford plea, which let him walk out of Durham County Superior Court on February 24 a free man, having already served more than eight years in prison.
