The gruesome 2009 murder of Fontainebleau Hotel heir Ben Novack Jr. at the Hilton Westchester in Rye Brook will be featured on the Oxygen Network.
The show, called "Dying to Belong," will air on Sunday at 7 p.m.
Rye Brook Police Sgt. Terry Wilson, who was the lead investigator, will appear on the show.
Novack, whose company was running an Amway convention at the then-Hilton Rye Town, was bludgeoned to death and had his eyes gouged by a pair of hitmen in the couple's suite.
His wife, Narcy, a former stripper, and brother-in-law, Cristobal Veliz, were convicted in 2012 on federal charges of orchestrating not only that killing, but also the murder four months before of Bernice Novack, who was beaten with a wrench by one of the hitmen in the garage of her Fort Lauderdale home.
Brother and sister are serving life sentences. Several others were also convicted in the plot.

Detective Sgt. Terence Wilson and Chief Gregory Austin are photographed with some case files at the Rye Brook Police headquarters July 16, 2012. The murder of Ben Novack Jr. at the Hilton RyeTown was just the third homicide in Rye Brook. But they have had far less success solving the village's second homicide, which occurred almost six years before Novack was slain, just down the hill from the hotel. Danielle Bongiovanni was fatally shot and her common-law husband Richard Graziano seriously injured on July 11, 2003, when two men tried to rob them at their 2 Lincoln Ave. home. , Journal News file photo
