Two days after Christmas, 2011, Russ Faria came home from game night to find his wife, Betsy, dead. He was soon charged and convicted of her murder. But Russ Faria insisted he did not kill his wife. Betsy’s brutal murder set off a chain of events that would leave one man dead, another man implicated, and expose a diabolical scheme. It would also see Dateline NBC—the true-crime original—become a part of the never-ending saga that proves the old adage: Truth is stranger than fiction. This original series from Keith Morrison and Dateline defies all expectations.

Great story with the best host

Well told as always with Keith & binged the entire story in one go. Highly recommended.

Gotta give Morrison his props

Honestly Keith Morrison narrates this bizzare true story so smoothly (and such wit) , it draws you in and keeps you until the end. A wild ride with a good ending 👌🏾
