Lester Holt sits down with Andrea Canning to discuss her latest episode, “The Trouble in Bardstown.” When mother-of-five Crystal Rogers disappeared from Bardstown, Kentucky in 2015, it wasn’t the first tragedy to strike the small town — and it wouldn’t be the last. Her father, Tommy Ballard, was killed the following year. This summer, Crystal’s former boyfriend, Brooks Houck, and two other men were convicted in connection to her death. But Tommy’s and three additional murders remain unsolved, and the Bardstown community wants answers. Andrea tells Lester about the crimes that stunned and divided residents and gives updates on where the investigations stand now. Then, she shares a podcast-exclusive clip from her interview with Crystal’s mother, Sherry Ballard. Later, Dateline producer Rachel White, who worked on the episode, joins Andrea to answer viewer and listener questions from social media. Have a question for Talking Dateline?

Blayne Alexander sits down with Josh Mankiewicz and Dateline producer Michelle Madigan to discuss their episode, “Open Water.” When Micki Kanesaki’s ex-husband Lonnie Kocontes invited her on a European cruise in 2006, she thought it would be a chance to rekindle their relationship. But a few days into the trip, Lonnie awoke to find Micki missing from their stateroom. After a boat captain found her body floating in the Mediterranean, both Italian and American authorities zeroed in on Lonnie as a possible suspect in her death. Two of his friends stepped in to prove his innocence – but soon came to an entirely different conclusion. Josh and Michelle share what it was like working on this episode during the pandemic in 2020.
