BEAUTY QUEEN MURDER She was bashed, raped and murdered on a cold September evening in 1969. Now, in an explosive investigation, Sunday Night examines the cold case of Anne Zappelli, the Perth beauty queen killed 42 years ago. Despite a deathbed confession and overwhelming circumstantial evidence, no one has ever been brought to justice for the murder of the popular Miss Australia contestant. Two men were extradited and questioned, but never charged. This is a story of a bungled police case, lost forensic evidence and a question – why did the investigating officer, who later rose to become the state’s Police Commissioner, refuse to have the case re-opened? See what happens when Rahni Sadler comes face to face with the prime suspect. THE AGASSI LESSON Once known for his mullet hair and denim shorts, the bad boy of tennis is now changing the lives of a generation of American children. Sunday Night guest reporter Edwina Bartholomew travels to Las Vegas to meet Andre Agassi, who after years of success on the court, says his latest project is his most satisfying. Agassi opens up about the depression and the pain of his early years in tennis, his life with fellow legend Steffi Graf as well as his decision to bankroll a school in the poorest, crime-ridden suburb of Las Vegas. The school now boasts a 100 per cent pass rate with every single child going on to further education. President Barrack Obama is so impressed by what Agassi has achieved he’s spending half a billion dollars building more of the schools across America’s rough inner cities. WILD LIONS Tim Noonan travels deep into wilderness of Africa in this Sunday Night investigation, uncovering a new threat to one of the world’s most magnificent beasts. Thirty years ago there were up to 400,000 wild lions in Africa, today that number is only 25,000 and falling. Hard to believe but lions are now extinct in many African countries. Tim meets Kenya’s fierce Samburu tribe which has hunted and killed lions for centuries. And he not only performs the tribal rituals, but finds himself face to face with the kings of the jungle.
