20/20 ABC Tonight: “Fatal Disguise” November 15 2024

On Friday, November 15, 2024, 20/20 delves into one of Atlanta’s most chilling and high-profile murder cases: the death of Rusty Sneiderman. In a special two-hour report, co-anchor Deborah Roberts investigates the tragic murder that stunned the city and captivated the nation. The episode will air at 9:01 p.m. EST on ABC and will be available for streaming on Hulu the following day.

Rusty Sneiderman, a successful entrepreneur and father of two, was gunned down in broad daylight outside his son’s preschool in the Atlanta suburb of Dunwoody. Just days earlier, a mysterious figure had been seen lurking outside his home with a gun, setting the stage for the shocking crime. The case quickly escalated as police discovered that the shooter, Hemy Neuman, was not only a coworker but also Andrea Sneiderman’s supervisor. This revelation sparked intense scrutiny into the relationship between Andrea and Hemy, adding another layer of mystery to the case.

The investigation took an unexpected turn when Neuman’s defense team introduced a bizarre insanity argument, claiming that a demon—whose voice supposedly resembled that of Barry White—had urged him to commit the murder. As the trial unfolded, questions surrounding Andrea’s possible involvement, or at least knowledge of Neuman’s intentions, remained a focal point.

In this 20/20 special, viewers will hear from key figures involved in the case, including police officers, attorneys, and friends of Rusty Sneiderman. New evidence and interviews, including insights from former Dunwoody detective Andrew Thompson and former DeKalb County district attorney Robert James, will provide further clarity on the case that gripped the Atlanta community. This gripping episode will offer viewers an in-depth look at the complex web of betrayal, mystery, and tragedy surrounding Rusty Sneiderman’s murder.
