This classic episode of 48 Hours, which last aired on 9/25/2004, tells the story of two boys who write a screenplay involving murder, but is it fiction or a confession? The 1994 murders of the Rafay family β Sultana Rafay, her husband Tariq, and their autistic daughter, Basma β focused on the pursuit and arrest of the two primary suspects: Atif Rafay, the only surviving family member, and his friend Sebastian Burns, who took refuge in Canada and had written the script for a film called βThe Great Despisers,β whose plot paralleled the 1994 murders. 48 Hours correspondent Peter Van Sant reports.
