Click Here to Watch This Broadcast
48 HOURS: “A Death in Payson Canyon” was Saturday’s #1 non-sports program with viewers, according to Nielsen live plus same day ratings for Saturday, April 27. The broadcast delivered 3.32 million viewers and a 0.6/02 with adults 25-54, the demographic that matters most to those who advertise in news.
Saturday’s broadcast featured David Begnaud and 48 HOURS’ investigation into the death by suicide of 16-year-old Utah teen Jchandra Brown, the search to find out what really happened to her, and the case against someone she knew, Tyerell Przybycien, who bought the rope she used and shot a video of her dying on her cellphone.
“A Death in Payson Canyon” is the stunning and heartbreaking story of a family, a community and authorities struggling to make sense of a young girl’s death by suicide, only to discover that her friend, who had many opportunities to stop her, helped her complete the act instead. The broadcast also explored the broader issue of teen depression.
Przybycien told police he was just helping Brown do what she wanted to do, but detectives later discovered new evidence that showed this may have been Przybycien’s plan all along – such as a text he sent to a friend stating, “It’s like getting away with murder.”
And with that, Utah County prosecutors decided to charge Przybycien with first-degree murder. In October 2018, he pleaded guilty to child abuse homicide and in December 2018 was sentenced to five years to life in prison for helping Brown complete suicide.
48 HOURS: “A Death in Payson Canyon” is produced by Josh Gelman. Greg Fisher is the development producer. Michael Baluzy, Karen Brenner, Diana Modica and Gary Winter are the editors. Richard Fetzer is the associate producer. Peter Schweitzer is the senior producer. Nancy Kramer is the executive story editor. Judy Tygard is the executive producer.
