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.

TRUE CRIME
Two days after Christmas, 2011, Russ Faria came home from game night to find his wife, Betsy, dead. He was soon charged and convicted of her murder. But Russ Faria insisted he did not kill his wife. Betsy’s brutal murder set off a chain of events that would leave one man dead, another man implicated, and expose a diabolical scheme. It would also see Dateline NBC—the true-crime original—become a part of the never-ending saga that proves the old adage: Truth is stranger than fiction.

Love Dateline

Makes commuting so much faster! Still putting out real journalism and great stories. Please get rid of the diddy news. Get back to classic and interesting, in-depth stories. Diddy is TMZ level, not dateline worthy.
So Tired of the Combs Coverage

JeannieEco

I normally love Dateline and would have rated you much higher. But the nonstop Sean Combs coverage is insane. It’s like 4 of every 5 or 6 podcasts are about him! I’m also not a fan of the stupid, lazy episodes where you just re-discuss old episodes. It’s like someone was like “hey! We can milk 2 episodes out of one topic!” It’s lazy journalism.

Well, Dateline is the original true crime show. Love it so much BUTTTT, I don’t want all the other shows in the same feed as the Dateline episodes! I certainly don’t care to listen 40 different Sean Combs episodes. Come on. With all the money this show has, fix your podcast!
Dateline was great

I’ve listened to dateline for years. It’s always been my favorite podcast period!!! Lately though this change to “Talking Dateline” once a week was a bad idea. It’s good and all but I feel like it’s just costing us an episode a week to have it. Now we just get one episode a week instead of two. All the talking dateline does is recaps and gives a lil insight. I’ve tried listening to them but I usually just skip them and listen to 20/20 or 48hrs untill another episode comes. Please go back to the old show format!!! There are also starting to be a lot of repeat episodes. I listen to podcasts daily and Dateline used to be at the top of the list. The past year has started to see Dateline down my next up list and at this point it doesn’t really even pop because I don’t listen anymore. I don’t listen anymore because it’s mostly repetitive stuff.
