Vagaries of the human mind and behavioral abnormalities are explored in case studies in this six-episode series. First up: the 1980 kidnapping of a Minnesota teacher and her 8-year-old daughter by a man who had been in her high-school math class 15 years earlier. The two were held in a closet in his home for 53 days before they managed to escape. The perpetrator also killed a 6-year-old potential witness to the abduction. Deborah Roberts reports.

Premise: A weekly newsmagazine addressing political, social and cultural issues. In its original format, hosts Sam Donaldson and Diane Sawyer bantered before a studio audience, but it flopped and producers quickly adopted a straight-news approach. ABC merged it with '20/20' in 1999, but revived it in 2001, and later offered editions devoted to medical mysteries and 'outsiders' (2006), crime and 'family secrets' (2007), and how people react in unusual situations ('Primetime: What Would You Do?' 2008).
