Murder in Paradise ; Rush of Ego (Oceangate)
60 Minutes looks to the stabbing death of Australian Jason Rigby in Fiji and a family's search for answers, plus another look at the Titan submersible disaster.
Murder in Paradise
The words Fiji and murder are rarely used in the same sentence. Similarly, five-star luxury resorts are seldom the scene of violent crimes. Tragically though, the stabbing death of Australian man Jason Rigby in the tourist town of Nadi last December combines all three elements. But this murder in paradise is also one that, so far, hasn't been investigated properly. In fact, if it wasn't for the perseverance of Jason's family, who were forced to hire a private detective to conduct their own inquiries, his killing would probably have been dismissed as not even suspicious. On assignment for 60 Minutes, Nine's Christine Ahern travels to Fiji to report on his family's frantic mission to discover the truth.

Rush of Ego
Two years ago, almost to the day, the United States Coast Guard was tasked with leading the search for the Titan, the submersible missing on an expedition to the wreck of the Titanic. At first there was hope the experimental craft could be rescued, but as is now well known, 90 minutes into its journey and three kilometres below the surface, Titan imploded. All five men on board were killed instantly. Among them was Stockton Rush, the boss of OceanGate, the company which designed, built and operated the doomed sub. Not surprisingly he has been a main focus of the Coast Guard's investigation into what went wrong. Its official report is expected to be released imminently, but as Amelia Adams reports, already this disaster seems to be a case of ego overruling expertise.

Mama June: From Not to Hot
Mama June: From Not to Hot is all about Mama June's dramatic transformation. "I'm a mama, a grandmama, and a BIG reality star — and now I'm ready for a BIG change," Mama June narrates as we see her strike various poses. But she's not just talking about physical changes, she's revamping her entire life! "It's time to say goodbye to bad men and junk food," Mama June says before adding that fans (and haters) can all "[say] hello to a whole new me, because when they see what I look like now, they're not going to believe their eyes!" At this point we see a string of text that I assume are all things that went into Mama June's dramatic makeover. Included in the list are weight loss surgery, physical therapy, liquid diet, tummy tuck, gastric sleeve, strength training, breast implants, high intensity training, and laser teeth whitening.
