ABC has set a new 20/20 episode, Her Last Call, for Friday, 19th June 2026, with the two-hour broadcast airing from 9:00-11:00 p.m. EDT and streaming the next day on Disney+ and Hulu. The episode revisits the murder case of Denise Amber Lee and comes after Michael King’s execution in March.
The timing gives the program a built-in audience search: viewers who remember the case now have a date to watch the next chapter, and those who do not can meet it through the fresh interviews with Lee’s husband and son. ABC News’ 20/20, anchored by David Muir and Deborah Roberts, has made the new installment part of a news cycle that is as much about where the case stands now as where it began.
Lee was 21 when she disappeared from her North Port, Florida, home, setting off a frantic search that began when her husband came home from work and found the couple’s two young children unattended. He called 911, her father joined the search, and a series of chilling 911 calls surfaced in real time as the hours passed. Lee also made one 911 call with her abductor’s cellphone, a detail that remains central to the family’s grief and to the case’s lasting public pull.
That is where the story still tightens. Witnesses called 911 with tips over the next few hours, and the family believes one critical eyewitness call could have possibly saved Lee’s life, but the record available here does not explain why it did not. That unanswered gap is what gives the episode its force: the broadcast is not only revisiting a conviction, it is returning to the moment when a call reached authorities and, somehow, did not stop what came next.
Janice Johnston is the executive producer of 20/20, and the new special arrives as a fixed-date event rather than a vague preview. For viewers, the essential next step is simple: Her Last Call airs on ABC on Friday night and reaches streaming the following day. For the family, the larger question is unchanged — what, exactly, was heard in that critical call, and how close was it to changing the outcome?
