Talking Dateline: Twisted Tale

Blayne Alexander talks with Josh Mankiewicz about his episode, “Twisted Tale.” In March 2015, Aaron Quinn called the Vallejo Police Department to report that someone had broken into his home, drugged him and kidnapped his girlfriend, Denise Huskins. The police began searching for the missing woman, but they also seemed suspicious of Aaron's story. Two days later, Denise resurfaced 400 miles from Vallejo, and described being held against her will, drugged, and assaulted. At a press conference following Denise’s reappearance, Vallejo police accused the couple of faking the story for publicity. It wasn't until months later, after a man was caught following a similar crime, that Aaron and Denise’s story was proven to be true. Blayne and Josh dive into the media frenzy that surrounded the case and explore how Harvard-educated former Marine, Matthew Muller, was ultimately linked to a string of crimes. Josh shares a podcast-exclusive clip from his interview with journalist Henry Lee, and catches Blayne up on how Denise and Aaron are doing today. Have a question for Talking Dateline?

After the Verdict: Death at the Spa

SUBSCRIBER EXCLUSIVE: Valerie Stone began dating Stephen Beal in 2018 -- unaware he’d soon be accused of committing a horrific crime. That same year, Beal planted a bomb at a spa in Aliso Viejo, California, killing his ex-girlfriend, Ildiko Krajnyak, and injuring several others. As the investigation unfolded, Valerie found herself in the middle of it -- wearing a wire for the FBI and later standing by Stephen throughout his trial. In 2023, Beal was convicted of murder. Valerie remained loyal -- until she spoke with Dateline in 2024 and discovered new details about her relationship. In this episode, Josh Mankiewicz sits down with Valerie to talk about why she walked away and how she’s rebuilding her life after a relationship that upended everything she thought she knew.

Obsessed with dateline BUT…

I love Dateline. I could listen to ALL the hosts voices all day long and I find the way they weave the stories and the calibre of questions/interviews to be consistently at a high level and intriguing. However, I have the Premium subscription and have been finding there’s a lot of repeats released as “new” and reuse of the same stories and clips, they aren’t reworked enough to be originals.
Used to be my favourite podcast
