“Shot in the Dark” Tuesday, Feb. 3 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) - At dawn, Melissa Oxley wakes up for work and finds herself in a nightmare: her husband, 36-year-old Ben Oxley – a native Hawaiian and accomplished water sports athlete – has been shot in the head while sleeping beside her. Melissa claims she never heard the gunshot. How could she not have heard the murder that happened inches away? Investigators found Melissa’s teenage brother, Craig, and Ben’s six-year-old daughter from a previous marriage, Alyssa, sound asleep. Investigators find a case built on silence, suspicion and a truth still buried. Pictured: Harlan Coben. Photo: CBS ©2026 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
