Keith Morrison sits down with Blayne Alexander to discuss her episode, “A Window of Time.” When University of Georgia law student Tara Baker was found murdered inside her off-campus home, investigators scoured through a list of potential suspects, including her boyfriend Chris Melton, before the case went cold. After two decades, advanced DNA analysis of remaining evidence led investigators to her killer. Blayne talks about her connection to UGA and discusses her recent visit to the scene of the crime. She also shares an emotional, podcast-exclusive clip in which Chris Melton, now a married father of two, talks about finding love again and the place Tara still holds in his heart. Plus, Keith and Blayne answer viewer questions.

The search for two missing University of Southern Florida doctoral students ends in murder charges. Investigators say the alleged killer asked a chatbot how to get away with it. In Southern California, prosecutors are gearing up for the trial of Larry Millete -- the man they say killed his wife Maya after paying spellcasters to hex her. In Dateline Round Up, Jake Reiner, the son of slain Hollywood director Rob Reiner speaks out about his parents' murders, and there's a surprise plea in the 2002 killing of former RUN-DMC member Jam Master Jay.

Blayne Alexander sits down with Andrea Canning to discuss her latest episode, “Book of Lies.” In 2023, Utah mother of three Kouri Richins appeared on a local talk show to promote a children’s book she’d written about grief after the sudden death of her husband, Eric. Weeks later, she was behind bars, accused of his murder. Prosecutors said Kouri had spiked Eric's cocktail with fentanyl she purchased from the family housekeeper. She went to trial earlier this year and was found guilty. Andrea talks to Blayne about the tensions between Kouri and her in-laws, and the testimony of Kouri’s former lover in court. Andrea shares a podcast-exclusive clip of her interview with the private investigator hired by Eric’s family, and she and Blayne discuss what it takes to be a successful PI. Later, Andrea is joined by Dateline producer Karen Israel to answer viewer and listener questions from social media.
