Certainly doesn’t disappoint!

I’m a big fan of Dateline content. I find that it never really disappoints. The only disappointment I will point out is that I pay for a subscription so there should be WAY MORE NEW CONTENT dropped. Otherwise, my subscription seems like kind of a waste

Twists and turns

Great for a car ride/when you can pay attention.

DNA under her fingernails?

Why wasn’t the DNA under her fingernails talked about as a clue of who did it. All we learned was that it wasn’t the man the accused and sentenced, but we never learned whose DNA it was??
