About Dateline NBC
Dateline NBC comes from NBC News and, by its own description, mixes current and older episodes of true crime mysteries, documentaries and investigations. Full episodes follow a single case and are reported by Dateline journalists such as Keith Morrison, Andrea Canning and Josh Mankiewicz.
Examples from October 2026 include “Blindsided,” in which Brandon Boudreaux gives his first network interview, describing for Keith Morrison the day a gunman fired at him in an attack the episode ties to the Lori Vallow Daybell cases; “The Betrayal of Kirby Carpenter,” about the 2022 killing of Kirby Carpenter, a businessman in Mississippi and a father of two, outside his home; and “Heartless,” about the 2020 disappearance of Talina Galloway in Oklahoma and the online volunteers who called themselves “Talina's Army.”
Each of those stories has a companion “Talking Dateline” episode, in which reporters and producers explain how the story came together, sometimes share extra interview clips, and answer listener questions from social media. Separate news episodes follow trials and arrests, such as the Massachusetts trial over the death of Sandra Birchmore and the case of Faith Hedgepeth, a University of North Carolina student. Each also adds a practical topic, such as handwriting analysis, job scams or campus safety. The feed also carries short previews of related shows, including Keith Morrison reading Edgar Allan Poe in “Morrison Mysteries” and “Before & After with Lester Holt.” It suits listeners who want both the investigation and an inside view of how it was reported.
