48 HOURS and correspondent Peter Van Sant investigate the disappearance of Lori Ann Slesinski and the case against her killer, Rick Ennis, in “A Man with a Past.”
Slesinski, a recent college graduate, disappeared in 2006 from Auburn, Ala. Four days after she went missing, her car was found engulfed in flames on a deserted street. But she was still nowhere to be found. Police believed Rick Ennis was the last person to be with her before she disappeared. But Ennis moved away from Auburn after he talked with police. It would take 12 years before authorities made a case against him. In 2018, Ennis was charged with Slesinski’s murder, even though her body was never found.
It was not the first time Ennis was charged with such a horrific crime. In 1993, when he was 12 years old, Ennis murdered his parents. But did he kill Lori Slesinski?
In an exclusive interview, Ennis denies having anything to do with Lori’s disappearance and says he killed his mother and stepfather because his mother abused him, something 48 HOURS could not corroborate.
