A Date With Dateline

Imagine the scariest most decrepit farmhouse in the world. No, scarier. Now add demon snakes, haunted Victorian dolls with missing eyes singing off key lullabies to you, and the witch from Hansel and Gretel but her face is on fire and she wants to sign you up for her MLM. There you go. When a lively young Texan woman loses her life at this farmhouse in a truly horrific manner, several lawmen with large hats are dedicated to finding her justice. The suspects are aplenty and extra suspicious but are they killers? Brand new full time correspondent Blayne Alexander is bringing her bravery to the gates of the haunted farmhouse, and her best skeptical expressions when faced with  the ethical question, do we have to forgive a monster? It’s THE HAUNTED HOUSE CONFESSION! P.S. NEVER GO IN A SHED! Official Description from PEACOCK: Chantay Blankinship's remains are found at an abandoned building known as the Haunted House. Blayne Alexander reports.  Check out our sponsors! Using our discount codes is a great way to support our show! Spring is springing and your hair is ready to bloom!

Dateline and Andrea Canning are taking us over a rickety old bridge and through the woods where two lively teenagers had their lives cut short in a horrific way. Does this sound like the type of episode K and K would normally cover? No, it’s not. But neither of us followed the recent trial closely and wanted to get Dateline’s official take. Andrea is the perfect tactful host to detail out the various suspects, the difficult investigation and the circumstantial case presented at trial While Kimberly has had a brief glance at the plethora of conspiracy theories online. We were left feeling conflicted, curious, and filled with questions. It’s A WALK THROUGH THE WOODS! Official Description from NBCU: The murders of teenagers Abby and Libby in their close-knit hometown of Delphi, Indiana spark worldwide headlines. The case takes a stunning twist after detectives reveal Libby captured a video of the killer shortly before her death. Andrea Canning reports.  Help out our podcast by shopping with our amazing sponsors! Now’s your chance to change the way you sleep with Boll & Branch.

It’s the mother son crime duo whose killing spree spanned from coast to coast and grabbed the world’s attention… except Kimberly and Katie, apparently. We somehow missed this WILD story but we were so excited to get to hear it for the first time from the master storytellers at Dateline and the dulcet tones of Mr. Keith Morrison. It’s the story of one manipulating Elizabeth Taylor wannabe mom, two sons struggling to free themselves from her web, and three potential victims. Maybe four.... But will the evidence be Kenough for a conviction? Join us for The Devil Wore White (after Labor Day, which is just one of the many crimes in this episode)! Official Description from NBCU: An elderly socialite is reported missing from her stately New York City brownstone; when Sante Kimes and her son Kenny are arrested, an investigation reveals decades of crime, deception and murder that captivated the nation.

Kimberly and Katie have dug into the archives to revisit the classic-est of all the classic Dateline episodes we’ve ever covered. This episode truly has everything: Pizza bomb. Casual lollipoping. Escape room fail. JJ the Scapegoat. Terrified coroner. A documentarian’s white whale. A pretentious man in bib overalls. 400 pounds of government cheese in an attic in July. The worst courtroom sketch ever that you will see in your nightmares. A crack dealer fishing buddy. A prison snitch with epic goldenrod hair. Also Dennis Murphy in a cherry red windbreaker. All this in an episode full of chaos, we’re left with one burning question: If having a garage fridge filled with beverages means that you’ve made it in life, what does having a dead body in a garage freezer mean?  Official Description from NBCU: A man dies after robbing a bank when a bomb that was placed around his neck detonates.

We’re dipping back into the vault for a classic Dateline that proves for the thousandth time that you should never accept a beverage from your spouse. Never. Just get your own beverage. You’ll get in a few more steps walking to the fridge and you won’t get poisoned. In MANNER OF DEATH, a young dad mysteriously dies, a family is divided, a brother becomes an amateur detective, and an ill-timed karaoke performance becomes the only evidence. There’s a little league team called the Fat Boys, a dirty dog/sick puppy, and a jaw dropping courtroom reveal involving grapes. Yes, you heard us right. Grapes. It’s a wild one, so we’re grateful that we have Our Leaning King Keith Morrison to guide us across that slippery ice and even slipperier criminals like the reporting Zamboni like he is!  Official Description from NBCU: When a healthy 31-year-old father of three dies suddenly, an autopsy reveals poisoning by antifreeze.
