Customer Reviews
Love Dateline but….
Just once I’d love to hear Keith offer an apology for his obvious glee when someone gets convicted and then totally exonerated. It was painfully obvious at the end that Keith believed Ray actually killed Michelle. Ray, a Gulf War veteran and American patriot. Who basically lost everything and still isn’t bitter.
I’m giving this 4 stars for the story telling but 0 stars for Dateline’s refusal of accepting a judges opinion and full exoneration of an honest, American patriot.
Good Story/Bad Sound Effects
Usual quality content from Keith and the dateline team! I tend to prefer stories with tidy endings but sometimes life doesn’t go that way. The one thing that makes this really hard to listen to are all of the ringing phones and phone notification sounds. It brings me out of the story every single time. Please reconsider using phone notification sounds for background- they give this millennial serious anxiety
Always love a great story told well!
Great reporting and I enjoyed all of it! As usual!
