Description
Blayne Alexander and Keith Morrison sit down to discuss his episode, “After the Halloween Party.” Friends and family were at a loss when Karen Swift, a Tennessee mother of four, went missing on October 29th, 2011. It took investigators 6 weeks to find Karen’s body and prosecutors 11 years to charge someone with her murder, but the case is anything but closed. Keith and Blayne talk about the small-town gossip that plagued the investigation in Dyersburg, Tennessee, and the private investigator from out of town who set out to solve the case herself. Then, Keith shares a podcast-exclusive clip from an interview with two of Karen’s neighbors who knew her as a child, and Dateline associate producer Sam Springer joins Blayne to answer viewer and listener questions from social media.
