  • Talking Dateline: A Little Patch of Perfect

    Talking Dateline: A Little Patch of Perfect
    Jan 22 2025

    Andrea Canning catches up with Keith Morrison about his latest episode, “A Little Patch of Perfect.” When wealthy Atlanta lawyer Gary Farris was found dead in a burn pile on his estate in 2018, police wondered if he had fallen into the fire while tending it. But a further investigation revealed a family full of secrets and grudges, which led authorities to believe Gary had been killed by one of his own. Keith and Andrea discuss different theories about the murder and the victim’s reference to Dateline before his death. Plus, Keith shares a podcast-exclusive clip from an interview with the 11th-hour witness whose testimony shook up the killer’s trial. Then, Andrea is joined by one of the episode’s producers, Keith Greenberg, to answer viewer and listener questions from social media.

put together well as usual Dateline. great job

I found it odd that Bob Markham had a buddy run her name in the next day and FBI agent gotta hold of him to say he was investigating her disappearance.. Why wouldn't the FBI agent call her dad during the investigation of her disappearance?

Crooked Cops, Ignorant Jury

The DA should be in prison, along with the officers involved i the investigation. The jurors should sent back to elementary school, since they lack basic intelligence.

Oscar Pistorius all over again

I can not believe this man thought he could be believed. Does he think everyone is stupid?

Best True Crime Podcast Hands Down

I absolutely love this Podcast. I use this Podcast in the morning on my drive to work and in the afternoon driving back home. The narrator's voice is perfect. It almost feels like you're watching the show on television without the visual. I also really enjoy how it does not sound like a documentary but it's still very intriguing.
