About this episode

<p>Blayne Alexander sits down with Andrea Canning to discuss her latest episode, “Slow Burn.” In November 2018, 911 operators in Colts Neck, New Jersey, received reports of a house engulfed in flames. When first responders arrived, they discovered the bodies of Keith Caneiro, his wife, Jennifer, and their two children. Investigators soon determined the family had been killed before the house was set on fire. Just hours earlier, in a neighboring town, authorities responded to another house fire, this time at the home of Keith’s older brother, Paul. As detectives pieced together the evidence, they uncovered the truth –  Paul had murdered his brother’s family, and set fire to both homes in an attempt to conceal his crimes and misdirect authorities. Andrea and Blayne discuss how the murders affected the Colts Neck community, and examine the growing tension between the two brothers in the years leading up to the killings. Plus, Andrea shares a clip of Jennifer’s mother delivering her victim impact statement. Later, Dateline producer Cassandra Marshall joins Andrea to answer viewer and listener questions.<br><br> Have a question for Talking Dateline?
