An unexplained murder rocks a Michigan suburb in City Confidential: Battle Creek -- Bad News in Battle Creek. When one of its own fell victim to violent hands, the community was shocked. Diane Newton was a burgeoning young reporter employed at the local affiliate. She often counted on the support of her husband, Bradford King, to take care of their two kids when she was at work. But she didn't count on King's resentment and anger at his secondary status within the marriage. When Newton was killed in 1991, a stalker was suspected. The truth, however, lay much closer to home. Through interviews and case details, A&E examines the smaller version of a big city murder.
