True Crime Vault: Dying to Meet You

The 20/20 episode 'True Crime Vault: Dying to Meet You' investigates the brutal murder of Scott Sessions, a beloved trumpet player from Greeley, Colorado, whose body was found burned and wrapped in plastic on a remote mountain road in February 2020. The case unfolds through a web of jealousy, domestic violence, and a deadly love triangle involving Sessions, his new romantic interest Heather Frank, and her abusive ex-boyfriend Kevin Eastman. After Scott vanishes following a phone call to his father about a date with Heather, investigators trace his last known movements through cell tower data and surveillance footage, leading them to Heather’s apartment and eventually to Eastman. A dramatic surveillance reveal captures Heather and Eastman leaving her apartment on Valentine’s Day, sparking a manhunt. Eastman is arrested after being caught burning evidence at a rural property, and a shocking twist follows: Heather Frank is later found dead, also wrapped in plastic and burned, at the same site. The trial reveals a pattern of extreme domestic abuse by Eastman against Heather, with multiple witnesses and forensic evidence—including blood on Eastman’s pants and DNA from the duct tape—linking him to both murders. Despite a defense theory that Heather killed Scott and Troy Bunnell killed Heather, the prosecution’s case holds firm, resulting in Eastman being convicted of first-degree murder on both counts. The episode ends with reflections on loss, justice, and the lasting impact on families, while Eastman maintains his innocence on appeal.
