Talking Dateline: In the Matter of Alex Murdaugh

<p>Andrea Canning sits down with Dateline producers Carol Gable and Haylee Barber to discuss Craig Melvin’s latest episode, “In the Matter of Alex Murdaugh.” In June of 2021, the wife and son of prominent South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh were found shot to death in the back of their family estate. One year later, Murdaugh was indicted for their murders. He pleaded not guilty. His trial began in January 2023 and was labeled "the trial of the decade" by local news outlets. A jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to serve life in prison. But last week, the South Carolina State Supreme Court overturned the convictions citing conduct on the part of court clerk Becky Hill that denied Murdaugh a fair trial. Haylee and Carol share what it was like to learn such major news on a case they’ve been covering for years. Andrea shares an extra clip of Craig discussing the overturned verdict with Murdaugh’s defense attorneys. Plus, Haylee and Carol answer your questions from social media.</p> <p>Have a question for Talking Dateline?

<p>Blayne Alexander sits down with Andrea Canning to discuss her latest episode, "Temptation."

Talking Dateline: Deadly Detour

<p>Blayne Alexander sits down with Josh Mankiewicz to discuss his episode, “Deadly Detour.” In 2016,  Atlanta power couple Diane and Tex McIver were driving home with a friend when Tex’s gun went off and fatally shot Diane through the passenger seat. Tex said the gun went off accidentally, but investigators disagreed. They believed Tex McIver intentionally pulled the trigger to kill his wife and inherit her money. Tex went to trial in 2018, where he was convicted of felony murder and sentenced to life in prison. Then, in 2022, the Georgia Supreme Court overturned the verdict. Tex pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, and in 2025 was released from prison on parole. Josh talks about what it was like to drive the fatal route with the McIvers’ friend, Dani Jo, and Blayne describes her days as a local reporter in Atlanta, covering some of the same lawyers who worked on the case. Later, Josh shares an extra clip from his interview with three jurors from Tex’s murder trial and answers your questions from social media. </p> <p>Have a question for Talking Dateline?
