A Date With Dateline

This Double Date features another brain melting episode of Blood Relatives from ID where the symbols are many, the narration is fantastic and in this case, sadly, the murder is gruesome and unfair.

But if you think that is our only creature of the week then you need to catch up on the other recaps of this allegorical ID series! Kimberly and Katie step through the details of the case and the hidden symbolism which isn't that hidden. Spoiler* There is ANOTHER mysterious doll at the crime scene. What does it all mean? Is this the episode where it all connects? Well, grab your train conductor's hat because it's time for DUCT TAPE DIVORCE! Choooo chooo!

The events of April 20th, 1999 shaped our nation and altered the American narrative. One of America's deadliest school shootings took place in a small town in Colorado, leaving thirteen dead and another twenty-one severely injured. And it was all broadcast over national tv for the nation to see. The second season of Confronting takes on one of the most prolific tragedies in American history: the Columbine High School massacre. It was a devastating example of how easily a place of learning, familiarity and peace can descend into a war zone of chaos in a moment, the teenagers present that day are now adults who bear the mental and physical scars of the carnage they lived through. Amy Over, a Columbine survivor who is still living with its aftermath and raising her own children in its shadow, confronts many of the realities, questions and myths that surround the massacre to this day. Amy, through her own experience and by speaking with survivors, investigators, classmates, reporters on the scene and other important voices, brings a first-person account of the physical, emotional and spiritual journey that comes along with confronting the worst day of her life.

You might think Natalie Morales was going to slide on into the true crime world of beloved Dateline hosts with a quiet, run of the mill normal murder story. You would be wrong. This episode is WOW, filled with OMG moments and a very diabolical twist. And with every complicated Dateline case Kimberly and Katie have some serious questions. Can Law give us a call? Actually if Order could also call in, that would be great as we have a few issues to clear up with you as well. Science, you get to take the week off. So crack open a cold coke and join K & K for their extreme amounts of disbelief and outrage, and to hear Kimberly use her new favorite word way too many times. It's time for THE (titular) PHONE CALL!

When a woman is found drowned in the bathtub with a completely dry body and only damp hair, it's either a mystery, a murder, or magic, and her husband is the natural suspect for a crime that may or may not have occurred.

The ID Network's series Blood Relatives returns with another title pun and another symbolic lizard lurking about. But in CLASH OF THE TARTANS we have a whole new slew of mysterious objects pointed to throughout the episode and an X-rated set of circumstances that are clearly going to lead to murder (and Kimberly delighting in Katie squirming in her seat). A mother, sister, husband, fiancé, kind-of cousin and a leather clad gentleman who's name is a mystery are all embroiled in some adult activities done in the dark and need to be kept secret. But who is willing to kill to keep that secret? It's just one of many mysteries in this episode that K & K will try to solve. Will an unsettling doll with a drawn on moustache hold the secret to this horrible crime? HIGHLY HIGHLY doubtful. Will it just add to the confusion? You be the judge. So run a bubble bath, grab a cup of tea and enjoy this very special Double Date - AFTER DARK edition episode.

It's the man, the myth, the pocket square squire - Josh Mankiewicz! He's back for a surprise interview with Kimberly & Katie, who once again try their darndest to not fangirl and fail spectacularly. The conversation topic of the day is Dateline's THE LIFE SHE WANTED, everything from the whispering, the vegetarian defense… and the pillow. Of course, the pillow. There is also dishing about hankies, Mank's yet untold family history regarding jet skis, and his epic facial expressions during interviews. So straighten out that hanky and enjoy this very special discussion with the beloved Dateline host Sir Manky with the Hanky! We are so grateful and happy to be able to get the inside scoop on this case from our favorite legendary smirker, and we can't thank him enough for talking with us and for his support of A Date with Dateline!

Hi...Hi...Hi... Hey you... Dateline's THE LIFE SHE WANTED should be called The Life WE Wanted because it has given us everything we didn't even have the foresight to put on the bingo cards. It's got Hawaiian Mike, Meek/Dirty Diana, and their love story for the ages. Unfortunately Diana is not Mike's wife... his wife would be Sherri who has gone missing from a Target parking lot. Kimberly and Katie have much to discuss including the most cringeworthy interrogation room whispering and stroking of all time, a highly inappropriate family Christmas card, witchcraft at a supermarket deli counter, and a fake disguise complete with props. Who else could act as host for an episode featuring so much outlandish behavior and give it the snark it deserves?? Sir Josh Mankiewicz with the hankies obviously! . So settle in with some meatless snacks (because that will for sure prove you're not a murderer) and join K & K for a very special DATE WITH DATELINE! Official Description from NBCU: Witnesses see a woman handcuffed in a parking lot and taken into an unmarked car by a blond woman. But detectives can't find any record of an arrest.

Kimberly and Katie have found a new and surprisingly confusing ID Network show to discuss on Double Date! Introducing BLOOD RELATIVES. Every episode title is a word play on murder, the voiceover is done by Brenda Strong, and there's cameos from a mysterious insect or reptile in every scene that the actors don't seem to notice. K & K are discussing the latter along with the sad murder of North Carolina stepdad with an affinity for treasure hunts. They have also picked up a potential new hobby along the way. Need a hint? It involves dungeons (not of the Master Bob variety) and Dragons (bearded and otherwise). Grab a large pitcher of water and enjoy their struggle to analyze the symbolism, acting choices, and narrative of this Kafkaesque piece of art from our friends at Investigation Discovery!

It's COLLATERAL DAMAGE, which means Dateline is tackling the frightning following on everyone's mind- NXIVM! There's no murder in this Dateline (that we know about), which makes it a bit off brand (!) for them. But it's still got plenty of Datelineisms to enjoy— a scam artist of the highest order, people in denial, and disturbing photos of our perpetrator in an open bathrobe. It's another case of Him?, but much worse because this time Him? runs a cult. There hasn't been a man inexplicably getting beautiful women's devotion like this since… last week with Tom Randolph. And if you think you know everything about this case, think again. Dateline has brought us brand new interviews, including a backflipping doctor and a wide eyed actress that scared Kimberly to her core. If you want to be an executive success, you better join A Date with Dateline for COLLATERAL DAMAGE! Official Description from NBCU: Former NXIVM member Dr. Danielle Roberts defends branding members of the alleged sex cult; former members India Oxenberg and her mother, Catherine, open up about how they are doing after the group's founder is convicted of felonies.

It's the final episode of Dateline trilogy THE WIDOWER, aka A Pig in Pigtails, aka When Justice Shows up in Khakis, aka Why Did Love Put a Gun in my Hand and an Earworm in my Brain! Tom Randolph is in jail, and he wants to talk. A lot. About women. About the law. And a little bit about bad courtroom fashion. He's the big snake on campus in jail, and is calling all the shots with his rotating parade of defense lawyers who all hate him and wish he would stop talking. Join K & K as they hate watch this hideous human in horror as his every terrible turn of phrase (which he thinks is a great defense of his innocence) makes him sound more and more guilty. Come along as they try to determine the answers to these important questions… is Tom Randolph as smart as he thinks he is? Is he a great legal mind? Or is he actually simply an idiot with a smirk and Daenerys Targaryen hair? But be forewarned, they are NEVER able to answer the ULTIMATE question… HIM? Please enjoy this final A Date with Dateline installment of the three part series from which they will never recover.

In Part 2 of THE WIDOWER we join our favorite Las Vegas detective team on a murder road trip across America! It's a Dateline trip down memory lane where Tom Randolph changes wives almost as much as he changes his significant other. But Kimberly and Katie have some very serious questions as we get further into this story. Such as... why does Tom Randolph have scuba gear, naked pictures, and a bullet proof vest in his garage? Why did he think a John Waters mustache was a good look? And most importantly, why did love put a gun in my hand? Join K & K as we rage scream our way through the Tom's first murder trial, then listen as our faith in humanity is restored as Tom suffers one of the most humiliating arrest scenes of all time. It's glorious. Please enjoy this very special 2nd Night coverage of THE WIDOWER!

Night 1 of this very special DATELINE 3 Part event left Kimberly and Katie with a lot of questions. And with no Josh or Dennis to lay out the case while interjecting special quips or Andrea or Keith to walk the landscape (or lean on the landscape) of the crime's location it's up to all of us to keep up with the machinations of the subject of this story- a man named Tom. Tom has a lot of wives, a lot of gall and a LOT of hair. Night 1 revolves around the murder of a sweet unsuspecting Las Vegas grandmother who thought she was finally finding love and found instead a wolf in a long haired lambs clothing (If that lamb wears Cowboys t-shirts). K & K are ready to take on the The Widower's three part event with all the gusto of a Las Vegas detective duo who are determined to see this maniac behind steel bars. Where there is a "will" there is a way! Please enjoy this first part of A Date With Dateline's coverage of THE WIDOWER!

If you could call a number and say you're sorry, and no one would know…what would you apologize for? For fifteen years, you could call a number in Manhattan and do just that. This is the story of the line, and the man at the other end who became consumed by his own creation. He was known as "Mr. Apology." As thousands of callers flooded the line, confessing to everything from shoplifting to infidelity, drug dealing to murder, Mr. Apology realized he couldn't just listen. He had to do something, even if it meant risking everything. From Wondery the makers of Dr. Death and The Shrink Next Door, comes a story about empathy, deception and obsession. Marissa Bridge, who knew Mr. Apology better than anyone, hosts this six episode series. Listen today at http://wondery.fm/DatewithDateline Learn more about your ad choices.

It's 10 Minutes to Sunset... A time and a Dateline title which makes appears to make perfect sense and yet seemingly baffles Kimberly and Katie so soon into the new year. What they aren't baffled by is the fact that three different people in three different interrogation rooms telling three very different stories makes for a magical Dateline viewing experience. (It also helps that that Mr. Magical himself, Keith Morrison, is reporting on the whole affair) Kimberly falls hard for the episode's MVP, Titan the bomb sniffing dog, and Katie's heartfelt dream of seeing an interrogation room blanket three-peat has finally come to fruition!

It's a new year! 2021 is upon us and we are leaving the holidays and horrors of the previous year behind in a tight little box of emotions never to be opened. Speaking of tight little boxes... A COFFIN FOR CHRISTMAS is the famous Barbara Mackle case covered by ID Network's A Crime to Remember series and now will be retold (less eloquently) by K&K. Kimberly tries to overcome her intense fear of tight spaces (and being kidnapped, and heights, and breathing only through her nose and a few dozen others) and Katie gets waylaid by a yellow sweater that means absolutely nothing. And while as terrifying as the events in this case can seem, there is actually a silver lining to this story. Let's hope the same for 2021! Official Description from ID NETWORK: Barbara Mackle is kidnapped and buried alive in a coffin-like capsule; local police and the FBI race to Mackle's abductor before her time underground runs out.

In honor of last week's 200 ish episode we have dug deep into the ADWD archives to uncover the elusive lost recap to Dateline's explosive episode -Under the Prairie Sky. This was the second episode every released by K&K and it mysteriously disappeared sometime in 2018. Time does strange things to us, as we have learned in 2020, and hopefully this episode will not have aged as badly as Kimberly and Katie feel they have. Please enjoy the following vintage description as well! Can a victim's life truly be quantified by the items found in her abandoned car? Does Gary from Teen Mom have a secret identical twin who also loves women named Amber? Will Kimberly and Katie finally take an old west photograph to solidify their friendship? Will Josh Mankiewicz get beat down in a prison brawl? And is a guinea pig really just a fancy term for a regular old dusty prairie dog?

Andrea takes us on a dramatic journey where a man's life is on the line, and thus Kimberly and Katie are taking it very seriously by discussing if waitresses at The Captain's Club wear pirate uniforms and pontificating for probably too long on one of the worst photoshopped photos in the history of Dateline. Also stay tuned to the end of the episode to find out how Kimberly got #whammed by a listener and has lost all trust in humankind.

Kimberly and Katie attempt to focus not on the arachnids but on the actual anatomy of a very mysterious murder. A couple's failed purchase bid for the Spider Lake Resort is followed shortly by the wife's murder and it looks like the lake might be filled with not just spiders but... secrets. Also some creepy love letters, a forgotten house fire, two suspects who both failed polygraphs, attorneys practicing law during spring break, and a pastor who knows something. This lake is filled with SO many suspicious things it would not be a safe place for jet skis (even free ones). Plus, for the first time in the history of crime, the husband's alibi is… spooning?

And how did her rise to fame ultimately lead to her death?

The ID Network never lets us down with episodes from the BETRAYED series- where the murder victims tell their own story! This week it's "Hells Bells", but the only ringing happening is the wringing of hands that some of the characters in this story may cause. Dear Rhonda Smith didn't stand a chance surrounded by a bunch of people who seem to be likely suspects in her murder. There is a gaggle of church women, a man with a van, a cheating husband with something to lose and a pastor who's demeanor could be considered more personal than professional.

On this fine Manksgiving eve we bring you a Dateline of cold blooded murder filled with mysterious missing documents, secret sensual encounters, questionable motives and... Dennis Murphy? Sure, it may be Manksgiving, but Dennis is more than enough Murphy to report this tragic story of the beloved school superintendent shot At Close Range. Kimberly and Katie have a a lot to discuss as the events leading up to the murder seem to be lacking some very important details and the main informant's attitude is somewhat too calm for the circumstances. Join K & K as they dissect this murder by miscommunication story, and ask the all important question, if someone's life is in danger, is warning them by email sufficient? No, no it is not.

Was it one of her beloved children? Her doting husband (who doted except for this one very important time where he doted on someone else)? Her employees? K & K are searching for this all important answer, as well as equally important other answers, such as… What exactly is this "water business"? Is the son-in-law sexy? Do people actually vacation at Aztec ruins? Does a long lost illegitimate child that was the result of an extra marital affair belong in the family Thanksgiving photo? And seriously, what does that water business do? Please enjoy this very special Double Date episode! Official Description from INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY: Cathy Stroup is a no-nonsense Irish mom who knows what her family needs to survive. But the question is - how will she survive them?

Something's whispering, and for once it's not K & K whispering the word "secrets" in an incredibly creepy and frankly off-putting way. It's HOPE WHISPERS, a wild Dateline where a daughter's mom goes missing and her dad is being… um… unhelpful His behavior has K & K speechless, incredulous, and infuriated, but luckily they have the most delightful K (Keith Morrison) to walk them through it. They're discussing hero cousins who take on the case, men in white coats in a grocery store parking lot, and our second b-roll bridge walk in recent memory. All that, plus a YA novel called Nancy Drew and the Case of the Mystery Urn is rumored to be in the works! Available soon on Amazon (self published)!

When a wealthy woman falls in the shower, her well respected rich doctor husband falls under the microscope. Actually he doesn't, because he's a well respected rich doctor. But when a determined ally seeks answers from a psychic, nay, a medium, it's on. Queen Andrea takes us through this maze of dueling coroners (great band name), a mysterious friend with no benefits, and a juror whose cell phone should be taken away forever. All that, plus, what's the process of selling a blood filled murder house "as is"? AND, there are Jews in this case, so K & K are excited, and brace yourself, because they're still trying to make the Michael Peterson owl theory happen. It's RETURN TO SHALIMAR WAY! Official Description from NBCU: When a woman dies after what appears to be an accidental fall in the shower, two friends join forces to seek justice on her behalf. Andrea Canning reports.

Dateline, with the help of the great Andrea Canning, is taking us to church this week! Actually they do every week, because Dateline is kind of a religion, but this week's case revolves around an actual church and a few of the folks who worship there in sweet home Alabama! Kimberly and Katie are discussing salted and seasoned secrets in a religious community, the detailed schematics of making love in an exterminator van, and the fun of saying "Piggy Wiggly"! And again, Dateline presents us with a thought provoking question of the ages: Are you maybe a murderer and/or a psychopath if you wait to eat your fries until you get home from the fast food drive through? Grab your holy water (or diet coke or whatever is handy) and get ready to fight evil, because not only did the devil go down to Geor— er, Alabama, EVEN THE DEVIL WENT TO CHURCH!

Sir Josh Mankiewicz with the ever changing pocket Hankiewicz returns with a case that spans 40 and is finally solved due to the dedication of a determined cold case detective and the devotion of one really super great Kimberly. No, not ADWD's Kimberly, she did not aid in solving this case. But she did give a lot of unsolicited opinions, with the help of her sidekick Katie, about acapella groups with punny names, height blindness, and the questionable appeal of Ted Bundy's unibrow. If that wasn't enough this Dateline features a yet unseen Baby Dennis! It's another episode filled with questions (like why does everyone speak better in the 1970's) so grab a pen and paper and get ready to jot down some very important notes from this very special edition of A DATE WITH DATELINE!

Get ready for LONE STAR OBSESSION, an update to the first episode of the same story called OBSESSION IN THE LONE STAR STATE. It's close... but different. When a dancing doctor in Texas is murdered, there are several suspects, and they are all ex-lovers of the doctor and his girlfriend. Yes, we said 'lovers." Andrea Canning is giving us a lot to discuss including a mysterious letter from a woman named Tina, the most dapper, Thurston Howell III-ish family friend ever, and a surprisingly genteel gentleman murderer, we do declare. We've also got a new controversial issue that could divide K & K, destroy friendships, and break up marriages. Please be warned if you decide to discuss this with other close to you. The latest hot tea is... Is a tea of the month subscription a good gift for a significant other or no? You be the judge, jury and executioner on that one, but in the meantime please enjoy this very special episode of A Date with Dateline!
