New 48 Hours March 1 Episode To Feature A Deadly Hit And Run Scandal
CBS is officially confirmed to air another new episode of 48 Hours tonight, March 1,2025, and it will feature a deadly hit and run scandal that happened due to some possible jealousy and more. This new episode is the 20th installment for this current season 37.
CBS’ official episode 20 press release is telling us that this episode is officially labeled/titled, “The Hit-and-Run Homicide of Davis McClendon.”
In this new episode, the 48 Hours team is going to take a deep look at a story about a South Carolina man named Davis McClendon. He was found dead by the road of his wrecked car.
The investigators who worked this case immediately suspected it was a hit and run accident. However, their investigation led them to a local businessman named Bud Ackerman via his oil trail that he left behind.
They noticed that his Ford pickup truck was leaking oil and that his front grille was broken. The investigators went on to find out that Davis McClendon was actually dating Ackerman’s soon-to-be ex-wife Meredith Haynite.
This made them start thinking that this could have been a crime fueled by some jealous rage. 48 Hours correspondent Anne-Marie Green handled the reporting duties for this episode and case.
CBS’ official description for this new episode 20 of 48 Hours season 37 reads like this, “When South Carolina authorities found Davis McClendon dead by the road near his wrecked car, they suspected a hit-and-run. But an oil trail led them to a local businessman, Bud Ackerman.
