Talking Dateline: The Farmer’s Wife
Josh Mankiewicz sits down with Andrea Canning to talk about her episode, “The Farmer’s Wife.” In 2021, 42-year-old husband and father Ryan Cooper was shot to death as he slept in a recliner in the living room of the family’s rural Iowa farmhouse. What at first looked like a terrifying home invasion, turned out to be something much darker, involving a hidden relationship, a web of lies, and a motive rooted in desire and greed. Josh and Andrea break down the case, including the chaotic crime scene and the digital trail of messages that ultimately helped crack it. Andrea also shares a podcast-exclusive clip of Ryan’s widow in court. Then she and Josh discuss binge-worthy thrillers on their must-stream lists. Plus, your questions from social media.
