Anne-Marie Green

Welcome back to Postmortem. I'm your host, Anne-Marie Green. And today I'm joined by 48 Hours correspondent Peter Van Sant to discuss the murder of Gary Ferris, whose remains were found in a burn pile on his Georgia farm in 2018. Now, his wife, Melody, was charged and then convicted of his murder. But she says the real killer is is actually their son, Scott. Scott Ferris denies all of this.

And it's funny because I was I was watching. I didn't actually clue in that she was wearing orange until later on, which gives you a little indication is that, you know, things did not go her way. But before we even get into that, I want to talk about Scott because you also had an interview with Scott Ferris. His job was to run the day-to-day operations on the farm. He lived there.

Police zero in on Melody, though. But I'm really curious because she points the finger at her own son. Was he ever a suspect in this case?

All right. So there you go. So the other thing that you did, Peter, and I'm really curious about what this was like, is that you actually went to the exact locations, right? And sometimes that really makes a difference in terms of your reporting to see the distance from one place to the next, this hill, this farm. How did like going to these locations inform your reporting?

It's a wee bit of a distance, too. It's not like a short distance. But you spoke to Scott, which I can only imagine he's racking his brain trying to come up with a theory. This was not included in the hour. And so I want to play some of the sound of what Scott said to you, how what he believes happened. Let's play the unaired clip.
