Did a high school softball coach recruit one of her former players to kill? “48 Hours” correspondent Anne-Marie Green reports Saturday, Jan. 3 at 10/9c on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.

Sneak peek—

According to an affidavit both Stephen and Hiestand “admitted that they had conspired together to murder Shea Briar on Jan. 11-12.”

Esther Stephen and Shelby Hiestand

Stephen “was angry with (Briar) because he had recently initiated court proceedings to establish parenting time rights for their minor child and petitioned the court to change the child’s last name.”

Authorities said Stephen allegedly went to Hiestand’s home to pick up a .22-caliber rifle and ammunition. The two women then left Stephen’s daughter with a friend late on Saturday night, and Stephen called Briar shortly after midnight and invited him to “hang out.”
