WITH. THE. FEMALE. CONTESTANT.

213: Bad Henry Nov 30, 2021

Show notes

On a February night in 1994, Lamar Woods came home. The door to his apartment was open and his 10 month old son was screaming. In the bedroom, Lamar found his girlfriend, Brandi Henderson, brutally murdered. For a local detective, the murder sounded eerily similar to other killings that had happened in the area in recent years. It was clear that a serial killer was on the loose and it was only a matter of time until he killed again.

FAM! THIS IS APPARENTLY DATELINE'S 'MOST CHILLING EPISODE'! ALSO, KEITH SWEARS, IT'S PRETTY AMAZING.
Chris Smith was living his dream southern California life: close family, great friends, running a small business with trusted colleague. So when he emails his family to say he's giving it all up to travel the world with a, wait for it, Playboy Playmate, his family is confused, but happy for him. But when a year goes by and Chris's only contact is sporadic emails--never a phone call--the family gets suspicious and begins to unravel the real story of what is going on.

210: Dateline: Scorned Nov 18, 2021

Show notes

The text messages came often and always went something like this: "My favorite thing to do is stand outside and stare at you," or "I hate you so much, I want to drive a knife into your heart." The texts were sent to Dave and to his ex-girlfriend Liz. The texts came from Kari, who was stalking them both, but who nobody had physically seen in over a year. It was a love triangle, that could only end one way: Murder.
