    When I first started istening to Dateline podcasts I was like, “Why is Dr. Phil narrating a crime story?”

  • Tragic story, kinda wacky people.

    Seems like another case of people who think following God means checking your common sense at the door. All I can think while listening is poor Dawn, poor Dawn.

  • Unbelievable story…

    Just when you thought this tale couldn’t get worse, it did. I won’t soon forget this one. Josh always does an amazing job of telling the tales of these people.

  • This is not real journalism

    NBC is the most overproduced, excessively melodramatic network. You can tell how much editing is done with the interviews, the sound bites thrown in with the stupid BELL sound right after. It’s just so dressed up, and feels disingenuous. This guy’s voice is just trying too hard.
