UPDATE: Police Question a Pastor, a Ventriloquist and an Ex-Husband in the Murder of Tricia Todd

When Tricia Todd, a young mother who recently relocated to Hobe Sound, Florida, failed to pick up her 2-year-old daughter from the babysitter, her family was instantly worried. Police conducted an extensive search, questioning a pastor who twice met Tricia during her walks on the beach, a local ventriloquist whom she was infatuated with, and her ex-husband Steven Williams. But when those leads seemed to go nowhere, authorities were left wondering— who would want a young mother dead?

An all-new “20/20” features reporting from co-anchor Deborah Roberts and an exclusive interview with Marnie Ellis, Tricia’s best friend. The program also includes interviews with Rebecca Hasselbach, Tricia’s mom; Jonathan and Joshua Todd, Tricia’s brothers; Sgt. Dan DuLac, Martin County Sherriff’s Office; Lt. Yesenia Carde, Martin County Sheriff’s Office; Tom Bakkedahl, the state attorney in the 19th Circuit Court of Florida. “20/20” airs Friday, May 3 (9:01-11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC, next day on Hulu.
