In this throwback Dateline episode from 2015 Andrea Canning heads to a mysterious place called the Quad Cities where a missing persons report has turned into a tragic murder and nothing is as it seems. Including the fact that the Quad Cities appear to be not 4 but 5 cities. Jake joins Katie for this very special recap of WITHOUT A TRACE. A karaoke king, a military vet, a very good doggie and a childhood best friend are desperate to get the word out when Carrie Olson goes missing in the cold Dece...

In DEADLY DANCE, Andrea Canning is en pointe, as always, as she reports on the possible poisoning, self defense shooting, Ben Carson fundraiser of a complicated case known as The Black Swan Murder Trial. Yes. That case that keeps popping up in any true crime watcher's social media feed. Kimberly and Katie are going in blind so they are shocked right from the jeté in this divisive case, but they'll eventually plié into the truth. Or they won't. They might. Look, it's a tough one. All they know is...

On June 10th, 1983, the decomposing body of a well-dressed man was found in a desolate canyon near Los Angeles. John Doe #94would soon be identified as missing variety show producer Roy Radin. He'd last been seen after meeting with a mysterious woman in a gold dress. Her name was Lanie Jacobs. Jacobs and Radin were obsessed with becoming Hollywood movie producers. And when their paths collided, it led them to a tantalizing film deal promising fame and fortune. But then, a twisted script unfolde...

Come on, ride the train right back to 1996, where the technology was primitive and the cars were ooooddd looking, but the music was poppin' and the fashion was… something special. When a successful Atlanta entrepreneur is found murdered in his home, detectives soon uncover a whole world of secrets. Financial secrets, hip hop club DJ secrets, and women secrets. Oh my, the women secrets!. This mustachioed man in his Lotus Esprit was catnip for the ladies, especially the ones looking for money, gif...

In this episode, Dateline has commissioned the incomparable Andrea Canning for a long and twisted story with a DEADLY OMISSION! It's a case involving a man who played too good a game of Peek A Boo and somehow lost two wives, through no fault of his own, of course. Despite the tragic untimely deaths of multiple (?!) victims, this episode had everything that Kimberly and Katie like to see in a Dateline: 90s hairstyles, a Habitat for Humanity Pink Poodle Club Wolf Pack, and a scene that demonstrate...

We were hoping for a fun light episode this week, maybe a good heist story or a con man gets his comeuppance after a long FBI cat and mouse. And Dateline has answered our prayers with THE MENENDEZ BROTHERS: A CHANCE AT FREEDOM! Here is the thing, there is nothing light and fun about this case, so please listen with caution! But never fear, despite this case being 35 years old, Kimberly & Katie are ever questioning and trying to gain knowledge, and we have scholarly questions. Were all 90's lawye...

Need a distraction from, oh you know, nothing whatsoever, nothing's happening right now! Join KImberly and Katie for a post Halloween tale told the only way Dateline can. When a woman disappears AFTER THE HALLOWEEN PARTY, her small town is filled with secrets, swingers, saunas (okay, hot tubs, but we're going for alliteration here). Who's a member of the Pink Poodle Club, and will they lure in Keith Morrison? Never! This episode has a burger mogul, affairs, Christians mingling, child bullies, an...

Have you been Karen Read(ing) All About It? If you haven't been living and breathing this case because you are more of a Kimberly and not a Katie, then Dateline has got you covered! And if you HAVE been obsessing over this case, we've got you covered! Last week we did a deep dive into Dateline's coverage of the prosecution's case in Part 1, and this week we're doing an even deeper dive (think one of those pools where the deep end is like 40 feet deep because the divers are jumping off a skyscrap...

Have you been Karen Read(ing) All About It? If you haven't been living and breathing this case because you are more of a Kimberly and not a Katie, then Dateline has got you covered! And if you HAVE been obsessing over this case, we've got you covered! We're doing a deep dive into Dateline's coverage of this wild, twisted, and conspiracy-filled trial in Part 1, and an even deeper dive (think one of those pools where the deep end is like 40 feet deep because the divers are jumping off a skyscraper...

Season 33 of Dateline is bringing the doozy early in the season with a Texas size case of tragedy and... teenagers. And if you think this case sounds familiar, listen carefully to hear just how long it took Kimberly and Katie, two supposed professional podcasters and their professional goldfish brains to realize why! But even though its been discussed it before, this time we're watching the case unfold Dateline style, which means not only are we getting the full story (#journalism), we're gettin...

Josh Mankiewicz returns with his Season 33 debut episode! WRONG TURNS is taking us to a deserted lake road, a quiet suburban street, and a highway speed chase straight from the hookah lounge to the danger zone. This case features the most unsophisticated criminals since the Hee Haw Gang, twists that even tricked true crime amateur experts like K and K, and mysterious Facebook messages that turn out to even more sinister than the ones from that friend of yours from high school who has a unique an...

Dateline has finally emerged from it's summer cocoon and at long last it's time for the Season 33 Premiere! Dateline's resident Monarch Andrea Canning brings us the case of Katelyn Markham, a beloved young art student who goes missing just as she is about to take flight into the world. This case has red herrings and red flags, scapegoat carnies/festies, and True Crime Tickers. It's an ear-twisting, glass blowing, White Collar wild ride. Join Kimberly and Katie as they discuss THE BUTTERFLY! Off...

Our Leaning King (new nickname pending!) Keith Morrison is back at it with a mysterious new episode involving a shadow (not to be confused with The Shadow), a window (of a house and into people's souls), and a Zumba class with sassy workout queens. This episode also features a heroic and well caffeinated daughter, a case of mistaken Windex identity, and move over Bill Nye, Dr. Dragovitch and his bowties are the Science Guy we want! Join K & K for a truly evil murder plot in the most well-heeled ...

It's the first episode of the new season of Dateline (kind of!)! When a beloved young woman named Akia goes missing in Baltimore the day of her baby shower, the suspects are her nice guy best friend who was maybe in love with her, the broke father of her her unborn child who refused to go to her sonogram appointment, or the broke father's other woman who went after her on social media. Yes, you heard all of that right, this situation is messy with a capital M. Thank goodness that M also stands f...

The long Dateline drought is almost over, and so we've pulled a doozy of an episode from the vault to tide over our impatience. It's got three denim dames, two grange gals, and one leaning Keith who is NOT hiding his feelings about this case. Plus a heroic pup that we are 100 percent certain that we've convinced ourselves is fine! Now sit, stay, and be quiet because it's time for THE MAN WHO TALKED TO DOGS (with Kimberly and Katie who talk to dogs, cats, raccoons, possums, baby skunks and someti...

65 SECONDS may be the title of this Dateline, but Kimberly and Katie had so much to say on this particular episode it had to be split into 2 parts! In this Part Deux installment the suspect/husband's second wife Rachel comes forward with a story to tell the police! But does it finally lead to justice for Heidi Firkus? Or will it be immense financial irresponsibility, a lack of packing materials and a blue man group miniature model that finally lead to the incarceration of a killer? Tune into the...

The Olympics are over but Dateline is still in reruns so Kimberly and Katie are heading back to 65 SECONDS, the official hosting debut of the gorgeous and talented Blayne Alexander! We're officially welcoming her to the family with some immediate inquiries about three awkward bistro tables, a crime scene model featuring the Blue Man Group, and the most recent piece in our art installation entitled Suspicious Suspect Sketches That Are Too Creepy for Primetime! In all seriousness, we are fans of B...

Dateline is going for the gold! They're throwing heavy discs and pommel horsing their way to the podium! So who knows better than Keith Morrison, that when an Olympic bronze medal shot putter is killed by an elusive prowler in his own California backyard, there might be more to the story. This case involves dirty laundry (both the literal and the metaphorical kind), a grandfather clock with secrets and a verdict that could shock you. If we recap Dateline's THE HOMETOWN HERO & THE HOMECOMING QUEE...

We're really missing Dateline this summer, so we dove into the archives for a classic! Paris may have Simone Biles, but we have a suspicious husband that will definitely make you raise an eyebrow!

'Cause baby now we got atiea new ID Network episode!

It's a summer of firsts! For the first time ever, Kimberly and Katie revisit their very first Patreon episode from 2017, hoping to finally decide the answer to the ultimate Dateline question, did the husband do it? We couldn't figure it out 7 years ago, but we now have hundreds of Dateline recaps under our belts. Have our instincts been finely honed? Or are we still judging a case solely on invisible tears, a group of women's less than stellar memories of their deceased sister, and an ever endur...

It's a Summertime Double Cheat Date with Dateline! For the first time, Kimberly is cheating on Dateline AND cheating on Katie! And she doesn't even feel guilty about it. That's because Katie is out of the country and it's a case that she won't talk to Kimberly about anymore anyway. That's right, it's a case that Kimberly has been bobsessed with for years, and who better to fuel her bobsession than ID Network and their strange, ghost speaks from beyond the grave, murder countdown show BETRAYED. A...

While Dateline is on a heartbreaking hiatus, K & K are going for gold by swan diving back into the wild waters of ID Network shows! This week it's Canada mountain men gone wild with the classic series FEAR THEY NEIGHBOR! Picture Wilford Brimley as a hoarder, then add a touch of Woody Woodpecker, and you've got George Parent, the most unapologetic resident of 3.14159 Circle Highway Village. Was a rusted tractor the inciting incident of this neighborly feud between George and Ron? Was it a torrid ...
