A false confession and faked evidence. A respected farmer and his wife found dead in their home. Two innocent men sent to jail. A murder mystery from Murdock, Neb., is the subject of the newNET News investigative documentary, “CSI on Trial,”

NET News Producer Bill Kelly examines the April, 2006 murder of Wayne and Sharmon Stock. The case became one of the most controversial crimes in recent state history after the two original suspects were released from jail months after they were wrongly-accused. Later, David Kofoed, chief of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit, was convicted and sent to prison for faking blood evidence in the case.

“This is really a story of three investigations,” explained Kelly. “There was a search for the killers, an FBI investigation into planted evidence, and finally NET’s detailed investigation into why two men were accused of a murder they did not commit.” A murder conviction could have put the two innocent men on death row.

Over the course of a year, Kelly assembled pieces of a puzzle that indicate how a murder investigation went wrong. He gained access to confidential documents and sifted through thousands of pages of police reports, polygraph examinations, interrogation transcripts and FBI reports that were never made available to the public. As part of his research for “CSI on Trial,” Kelly also attended trials, listened to court testimony and interviewed people swept up in a stunning, true-life crime drama.

In addition to the documentary, NET News developed a website (netNebraska.org/CSINebraska) that features extended video excerpts of the police interrogations and copies of key documents used to research the program. Visitors will be able to access materials on the website by mid-November.

It's a building like no other, a capitol of unique design. A singular tower, rising above the plains. It's Nebraska's State Capitol, a masterpiece of art and architecture. This new production shows how this vital and alive building has a deep resonance and relevance for Nebraskans.

"Homecoming: The Impact on Nebraska Veterans" examines the effects of returning home from war, even decades later, and includes stories from the Korean War Honor Flight.

With pliers in hand, Nebraska artist Emery Blagdon fashioned pieces of wire into patterns and attached foil, beads, ribbons and an infinite array of everyday cast-off items. He hung the creations he called his “pretties” in his rural Nebraska shed, creating an environment he believed could generate natural energy from the earth and help people attain better health.

“Emery Blagdon & His Healing Machine” examines the complexity of Blagdon’s life and work through interviews with his family, friends and art experts. It includes Bladgon’s home movies shot on his 8mm film camera, news reports from the KNOP (North Platte, Neb.) television archives and photographs of Blagdon and his work shot by a pair of British professional photographers who toured Nebraska in 1979.

With Blagdon’s masterpieces now owned by the John Michael Kohler Art Center in Sheboygan, Wis., he is known by art collectors as a man with boundless visionary creativity -- an artist of great significance.

“Emery Blagdon & His Healing Machine” is a 30-minute production of NET Television. The production was made possible, in part, by the H. Lee and Carol Gendler Charitable Fund, Humanities Nebraska, the Nebraska Arts Council and the Nebraska Cultural Endowment, NebraskaLand National Bank, Carl and Janet Eskridge, Nan Schweiger and Lamont Richards, and the Jerry Johnston Memorial Fund.

The story of Clay Anderson's ascent into space is a very human one. "Homemade Astronaut: The Clay Anderson Story" is an intimate and personal look at Anderson's journey from dreamy-eyed child to driven college student to determined NASA astronaut.

During the hour-long program, Anderson talks about his youthful dreams and the inspiration and encouragement he received from high school and college teachers to pursue his passions.

Hammered. Wasted. Plastered. Drunk.

It’s how binge drinkers end up after a night of partying. And young adults who binge drink are more likely to fight, have unwanted sex and get into automobile accidents.

In "Binge," travel to a roadside memorial that marks the spot where a teenager died in a drunk driving accident. Though other teens involved in the accident were grief-stricken, losing a friend wasn’t enough to change the binge drinking behaviors of all of them.

In urban communities and rural areas, binge drinking at large parties and complaints from neighbors in college towns keep law enforcement officers busy. Follow young adults drinking too much, too fast. Hear from law enforcement, university officials and bar owners trying to change their lives before it’s too late.

A troubled youth turns to violence in a crowded upscale department store. A pregnant woman is the victim of a heinous and brutal murder. Answering an ad, a man is kept captive and subjected to sadistic torture.

These are not fictional scenarios, but actual crimes. Crimes in which criminal profiling or behavioral analysis led to the capture of the perpetrator, or assisted in the understanding of the motivation behind the crime.

In "Mind Over Murder" an FBI-trained criminal profiler demonstrates how behavioral research can team with old school detective work to get inside the criminal mind to prevent a crime, and forensic psychologists discuss threat assessment and target violence training.

The hour-long program also follows college students through simulated cases to develop their techniques in behavioral research and criminal analysis.

Their family name is part of the Omaha landscape and forever linked to the nationally-recognized Creighton University campus.

Who were these immigrant men and women who scratched out a life in the United States for their family - and later pledged support to a fledgling town between a raging river and an unsettled frontier?

They were entrepreneurs. Philanthropists. Leaders. And dreamers.

"The Creightons: Building the Dream" follows this visionary family from their beginnings in Ireland, to their entrepreneurial work with the telegraph and the establishment of an educational legacy in this country.

"The Creightons: Building the Dream" is the biography of a family whose own personal tragedies inspired them to help others pursue the American dream.

You’ve driven down the Omaha streets and visited the attractions that bear their names Ð Creighton, Cuming, Lauritzen, Fontenelle, Kountze Ð but you may not have given a second thought to the families behind the legacies. Who were these men and women who took a big risk on a little river town? What compelled them to endure the hardships and challenges of life in a frontier town in the mid-19^th century?

“Omaha’s First Families” takes a look at a group of individuals motivated by idealism, enterprise, ambition and greed, who set down their roots in a settlement bordered by a raging river on one side and the vast frontier on the other, to stake a claim in the unknown.

Barn Again There’s a certain romance about barns. Those enduring edifices that dot the landscapes of American farms from New England to the West Coast are more than just shelters for animals or grain. Sometimes beautiful, sometimes very plain, barns are symbols of sentiment, heritage and progress. They are one of the most distinctive forms of American architecture. Torn Notebook For nearly three decades, Claes Oldenburg and his wife and collaborator Coosje van Bruggen have designed and built public sculptures around the world.

This video follows the creation, engineering, installation and dedication of a monumental outdoor sculpture by this internationally known husband-and-wife team. The work was installed on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus in 1997. Length 120 minutes

Quilting Nebraska A quilt is far more than the fabric and thread that hold it together. It is a story waiting to be told. The thread that holds a quilt together is also the thread that intertwines generations of family history. Some quilts were made to commemorate a special occasion while other were made out of necessity to keep early settlers warm through harsh Nebraska winters. A new documentary, Quilting Nebraska, explores the history of quiltmaking in Nebraska from the 1800s to the present.

“Solomon Butcher: Frontier Photographer” is the story of an innovative, but luckless, man who recognized the rapid changes taking place in the American West, and began documenting the era through photos and words. At its core, it is a story about the pioneer spirit and the legacy that remains. His photographs of 19th century Nebraska settlers standing proudly in front of their sod houses may be better known than the man who took them. Photographer Solomon Butcher came to Nebraska in 1880 to live as a homesteader, but realizing after only two weeks this was not his calling he decided to put down the shovel and pick up a camera. From 1886-1892, Butcher photographed more than 1,500 images depicting the Sod House Frontier. While much is known about Butcher’s images, until recently, his story went mostly unknown. Most of Butcher’s subjects were settlers to Custer County, Neb. In the program, viewers see descendants of families who were photographed by Butcher and still live on the land where their ancestors settled; information about how the new technology of digital imaging is further preserving Butcher’s images and revealing new information about the frontier in the process; and how one student’s interest in telling Butcher’s story took him to Washington, D.C.

Just before the turn-of-the-20th century, a unique musical form emerged in the United States. As African, European and American cultures blended, the first truly American musical genre was born, predating jazz.

For the next 20 years, an improvised music popular in the red light districts and saloons of cities like St. Louis and New Orleans, gradually grew into a sophisticated, composed style - "ragtime." While the heyday of ragtime was short-lived, it is America's own music, and it could not have happened anywhere else at any other time in history.

Classically-trained pianist and ragtime enthusiast Jack Oliva, Dean of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Hixon-Lied College of Fine & Performing Arts, explores the origins of ragtime music through history and song. From the first ragtime tune published to rarely heard compositions by Scott Joplin, "Ragtime Cabaret" takes you on a musical and cultrural journey exploring the roots of ragtime music and the role of the music business itself.

Production of "Ragtime Cabaret" was made possible in part by a grant from the Nebraska Arts Council.

What made Nebraska matter during the presidential campaigns of 1968? Hundreds of people were drawn into a once-in-a-lifetime political storm. Bobby Kennedy, Eugene McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Ronald Regan, and George Wallace competed for the support of their parties. Conservatives and liberals clashed. The U.S. was fighting a controversial war. Race shaped the political landscape. Never before had Nebraska received so much attention from those campaigning to become President of the United States.

Pioneering the harsh landscape of Nebraska was difficult enough in 1869. Pioneering a new university was almost beyond reason. What was a university? Who should go? What should be taught? There were no guidebooks. No roadmaps. They were building a university out of little more than hopes and dreams. The University of Nebraska’s first building, University Hall, was a perfect symbol for the new enterprise—a grand façade with a crumbling foundation. But, the new land-grant university was revolutionary for the time. Tuition was free. It was open to everyone—men and women, rich and poor, Christians and Jews, African-Americans and Hispanics. It helped change the face of Nebraska and America. By the 1890s the University of Nebraska blossomed into a “Golden Era” when it was home to Willa Cather, a future Pulitzer-Prize winning novelist; George Flippin, one of America’s first African-American football stars; and John Pershing who would go on to command American forces during World War I.
