Righteous Obsession S.31 Ep.6

Since the Warren Jeffs episode had teenage brides that were kind of a downer, Kimberly and Katie decided to liven things up with some good old fashioned murdery mystery with the Dateline Classic, INDISCRETION. When a young billiards-playing woman is found murdered with a #1 written on the wall above her body, is it a (literal) sign of more murders to come? Or is it just one more anomaly in a series of misguided decisions made by the dumbest duo of criminals since the Wet Bandits. How does a No Doubt/Korn concert and a mysterious not-on-the-face tattoo come into play? Why would you shop at Home Depot if you work at a Lowe’s? Is a prison themed nightclub with drink specials called "Gen Pops" terrible or just terribly clever? We’re answering some of these questions, and some we’re just chalking up to these criminals being really, really dumb. Get ready for some extra sassy Dennis quips, call a “discreet house cleaner,” and— Eureka! That’s why this episode is called "Indiscretion". Ignore Kimberly and Katie as they spend an entire episode trying to figure that out. Maybe they should stop calling criminals dumb... Please enjoy this extra special slammer episode of A Date with Dateline! Official Description from IMDB- Maryland, 2000: Heidi Bernadzikowski is stabbed. Her boyfriend is ruled out and unknown DNA is discovered on her body. It would take DNA advances during the new millennium to bring about justice. Dennis Murphy reports. This episode is dedicated to a new girl group climbing the charts of Patroni Billboard, Malia, Melanie, and Amelie! Thank you ladies! Mmm-bop, we appreciate you so mmmuch!

What Happened To The Children? Spoiler Alert: We still don’t know. But we’re getting closer! The next Dateline episode on this story will hopefully have an exclamation point instead of a question mark. But in this case the punctuation is appropriate as this bizarre continuation on the Lori Vallow Daybell saga leaves us with more questions than answers. Questions such as is the ginger intern journalist not allowed to speak? Were K & K impressed with Lori’s beauty pageant b-roll? Is this episode sponsored by Nike? Is Coronavirus an omen for July 22nd’s end of time? Should Kimberly join the LDS dating app "Principalities" (its not called that)? Can Katie hire Zulema to be her professional massage therapist or will she be turned into beryllium? What the heck is going on with cousin Melanie? Would you wire tap your new bride for the FBI? Has a zombie infected your grandma or your Excel spreadsheet? You’ve got three days to find the answers to these questions before you’re “translated” and are able to perform Harry Potter spells! Put on your tinfoil hats and tune into this very special continuation of Dateline's wildest story in years. This episode is dedicated to Olivia W and Elizabeth M. And Heather B.! Enjoy your “secret” messages that drove Katie crazy!

A cop, a rabbi's son, and Keith Morrison walk into a bar...and then things get insane. When a college student is found murdered, police are forced to investigate one of their own, and Kimberly and Katie are forced to analyze the dramatic Fosse inspired lighting that is unlike anything ever seen before on Dateline and not on a Broadway stage. The reviews on the lighting were mixed, but the reviews on Kimberly and Katie butchering “All That Jazz” are sure to be in agreement. This episode also features people named Berri Bumgardner (shockingly not British), Gillis Leonard (shockingly not the worlds best Jimmy Stewart impersonator), and Morley Swingle (shockingly not a character in Yogi Bear cartoons of yore). Those are there real names. And these are their stories. BEFORE DAYLIGHT may have left K & K conflicted, but there is no doubt that this episode features the lean king Keith Morrison at his very finest. Official Description from NBCU: A college student is found murdered and investigators are left with no answers in sight. As police search for the truth, they are stunned to learn who might be involved. Keith Morrison reports. This episode is dedicated to Melissa V. and Ashley D.

And a very good example of why you need to keep a sharp eye on your neighbors as well as your underoo drawer.

Grab some poutine and butter tarts and settle in for another spooky story from ID!

Title three from the "Episodes You Shouldn't Watch Alone" ID Network list is just as bonkers as the previous two. It's another doozy from the YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE series with the very non-frightening title "Murder Mouse". No. That's not right.... "Murder HOUSE". To this date there has yet to be a murderous mouse, that we know of. We are going back in time to a Clue-esque mansion filled with creepy classical music, booze filled rantings and a secret tucked away in an upstairs bedroom. Topics will include include: a grandma with a mysterious accent that may or may not be a Nazi, a little bit of venereal disease (ok, maybe more than a little), and another religious zealot that has somehow found a bible passage OKing his homicidal tendencies. Kimberly and Katie are prepared to Rip(van Winkle) this murderer a new one in this very very special episode of Double Coffee Doughnut Date with Dateline! Official Description from INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY: Westfield, New Jersey, an affluent suburb just outside the bustle of New York City, is home to picture-perfect homes and families alike. In 1971, in the grand home of John List and his family, a true monster hides behind the stately facade. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
