The Charleston Affair S.23 Ep.52

Keith Morrison is back with a Dateline DOOZY. Who is Sarah? What happened when she Came Along? Is she the female Tom Randolph (AKA The Widower)? The one thing we know for certain is family, husbands, boyfriends, new love interests of former husbands or boyfriends, children, nephews, neighbor's children... no one seems to be safe when this mysterious Sarah comes along. Our Lean King Keith Morrison is taking us all over the U.S., from Missouri to Flor-ida(?), following a trail of bodies and interviewing a slew of folks who are just lucky enough to still be alive. So rent that U-Haul, invite in the propane guy for some company with his propane accessories, and put a lock on your bathroom, because remember, when it comes to Sarah, where there’s smoke, there’s fire(s)! It’s ALONG CAME SARAH! Trigger Warning: We will be briefly talking about SA and child abuse, please take care when listening. Time Codes: 00:12:14 through 00:12:53 and again from 00:25:45 through 00:26:48.

Sir Josh Mankiewicz is back on the pod and discussing not one but two of his latest Dateline episodes with us, Justice for Kristin Smart and Behind Door 813! We’re getting all the behind the scenes gossip, like did Mank finger gun the defense attorney when he dropped the metaphorical mic, was gum code for drugs, and what was the deal with our newest obsession, Matthew, the most interesting man in Irving, Texas! And despite being on ADWD multiple times, Sir Mankie with the infinite number of hankies still has incredibly cool stories that we haven’t heard. For example, his casual mention of the time he got kicked in the chest by Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh. Yes, that Michelle Yeoh. And be sure to stay tuned until the very end when Josh keeps us all in susp(ender)ense with his very own fashion police moment! Hear all about it and WAY MORE on A DATE WITH DATELINE: Kicking It with Mank! A huge thank you, as always, to Josh for his time and support of this podcast.

We’ve been treated to our second dose of Mank in as many weeks, and we’re relishing every moment of it! In BEHIND DOOR 813, a golden hankied Josh Mankiewicz brings us a case of fatal attraction, which means that no bunnies, no pregnant sister-in-laws, and no women in elevators are safe from the blind jealousy of a woman named Brenda (did you know that jealousy could be blind?). We meet the lovely and dedicated family and friends of deceased Jonathan Crews, run into a repeat Dateliner PI that we first met a decade ago, and because it’s A Date with Dateline, there will be plenty of discussion on such trivialities as the inevitable disappointment of major television series' final seasons, the financial commitment of Chinese take-out and if there can ever be too much doggie B-Roll. Spoiler alert, there cannot. The truth to this mystery is all necktied up, and K and K are here to unknot it for you! Trigger Warning: This piece discusses suicide, and some people might find it disturbing. If you or someone you know is suicidal, please, contact your physician, go to your local ER, or call the suicide prevention hotline in your country. For the United States, the numbers are as follows: The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255), or message the Crisis Text Line at 741741. Both programs provide free, confidential support 24/7. NBCU Official Description: After 27-year-old Jonathan Crews dies mysteriously in his Texas apartment, his family takes matters into their own hands in an effort to find answers.

Dateline is bringing us a case we’ve all been following for years that has finally gotten justice! We meet the parents of student Kristin Smart, who disappeared in 1996, and learn how their dedication, along with a bearded podcaster’s skills and commitment, have finally given us answers in this tragic case. And of course, making defense attorneys all over the country squirm with his shrewd questions and raised eyebrows, it’s Josh Mankiewicz! He’s reassuring us that we aren’t in fact “ladies of a certain age” after all (sorry, Keith!), he’s teaching us what gum might really be code for, and he’s single handedly ending decades of victim blaming! Well, not really that last one, but he’s definitely a proven champion of women. This episode has been a long time coming, and K and K are ready to break it down for you.
