A Date With Dateline

On June 10th, 1983, the decomposing body of a well-dressed man was found in a desolate canyon near Los Angeles. John Doe #94would soon be identified as missing variety show producer Roy Radin. He'd last been seen after meeting with a mysterious woman in a gold dress. Her name was Lanie Jacobs. Jacobs and Radin were obsessed with becoming Hollywood movie producers. And when their paths collided, it led them to a tantalizing film deal promising fame and fortune. But then, a twisted script unfolded, plunging them into a million-dollar cocaine and cash heist, a tangled web of lies, and ultimately – murder. The trail led investigators right to Hollywood's doorstep, linking former golden boy producer Robert Evans to the case and dredging up Radin's own troubled past. But the case turned ice cold. It would take more than five years of dogged pursuit by the L.A. Sheriff’s Department detectives, a secret undercover witness, and another murder almost 3,000 miles from Hollywood – to unlock the truth. This is the story of a doomed Hollywood partnership, a grisly murder and the search that stretched across the country for a killer – or killers. From Wondery, and the team behind the hit series Hollywood & Crime: The Dating Game Killer, The Wonderland Murders, Death of Starlet, and the Execution of Bonny Lee Bakley comes a six part series that dives into the dark side of Hollywood through a shocking murder – fueled by ruthless ambition and desperate dreams. Co-hosted by Tracy Pattin and Josh Lucas. Listen to Hollywood & Crime: The Cotton Club Murder: Wondery.fm/TCCM_ADWD Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Come on, ride the train right back to 1996, where the technology was primitive and the cars were ooooddd looking, but the music was poppin’ and the fashion was… something special. When a successful Atlanta entrepreneur is found murdered in his home, detectives soon uncover a whole world of secrets. Financial secrets, hip hop club DJ secrets, and women secrets. Oh my, the women secrets!. This mustachioed man in his Lotus Esprit was catnip for the ladies, especially the ones looking for money, gifts, and trouble. Oh, what a tangled web we weave when we lease our sidepiece a Mercedes. Thank goodness we have a classy woman who hasn’t aged since the 90s named Andrea Canning to navigate our way through all of these suspects. Join Kimberly and Katie as they discuss THE KILLER AMONG THEM!

In this episode, Dateline has commissioned the incomparable Andrea Canning for a long and twisted story with a DEADLY OMISSION! It’s a case involving a man who played too good a game of Peek A Boo and somehow lost two wives, through no fault of his own, of course. Despite the tragic untimely deaths of multiple (?!) victims, this episode had everything that Kimberly and Katie like to see in a Dateline: 90s hairstyles, a Habitat for Humanity Pink Poodle Club Wolf Pack, and a scene that demonstrates what it would be like if Kimberly’s parents tried to wiretap a relative. Join us for the justice times two (!) in DEADLY OMISSION/COMMISSION/EMISSION/COMPOSITION/DEPOSITION! Official Description from NBCU: A murder unearths an unsolved mystery from years earlier; as the connection between the two cases becomes clear, a long-hidden truth surfaces. Andrea Canning reports.

We were hoping for a fun light episode this week, maybe a good heist story or a con man gets his comeuppance after a long FBI cat and mouse. And Dateline has answered our prayers with THE MENENDEZ BROTHERS: A CHANCE AT FREEDOM! Here is the thing, there is nothing light and fun about this case, so please listen with caution! But never fear, despite this case being 35 years old, Kimberly & Katie are ever questioning and trying to gain knowledge, and we have scholarly questions. Were all 90’s lawyers assigned a trendy hairstyle or did they get to pick? Why was there a boy band named after soup? What day is bring your son to the homicide press conference day? Do you still have to pay for sessions when you’re sleeping with your therapist? Did OJ Simpson worm his way into every murder trial in 1994? Find out the answers to none of these important questions by joining us as we dive into the deep rabbit hole of a very famous case! Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of childhood sexual abuse. Please listen with caution and take care of yourself. https://rainn.org/ is available 24/7 with help.

Kimberly and Katie from A Date With Dateline Podcast pair up with their BFF, the witty and legendary Dateline host Josh Mankiewicz, and the hilarious and brilliant Peaches of the instagram account @peachesanddiesel104, creator of the famous "If I Go Missing Dateline Binder" videos! Peaches is going to walk us through creating our very own binders, and you can follow along and make yours at home! We'll be talking about the importance of picking your missing photos ahead of time so that you look young and hot (your family can't be trusted to pick the right ones), to making a list of anyone in your life that you've pissed off that the police need to look at right away. With Peaches as the expert in Dateline binders, Sir Manky with Hanky as the expert in Dateline, and Kimberly and Katie as the experts in (*still pending, add expertise when we think of it), we'll have the best binders around. They'll be useful if anything horrible ever happens to us, but if not at least we'll figure out who we need to be wary of before anything happens. These binders can save your life! Or at the very least, we'll learn who's out to get Kimberly. Join us on Wednesday October 23rd at 6pm PST/ 9p EST!

Season 33 of Dateline is bringing the doozy early in the season with a Texas size case of tragedy and... teenagers. And if you think this case sounds familiar, listen carefully to hear just how long it took Kimberly and Katie, two supposed professional podcasters and their professional goldfish brains to realize why! But even though its been discussed it before, this time we’re watching the case unfold Dateline style, which means not only are we getting the full story (#journalism), we’re getting Keith Morrison's beautiful prose and sympathetic smiles. However, this case also contains unfortunate animal terms of endearment, Twilight fan fic, Hitchcock, crab shacks, notable notes, and something that rhymes with shmugs. It’s a wild ride and you don’t want to be late for this very important date. Hop to it and join K & K for DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE! Official Description from NBCU: A 16-year-old calls 911 to report a break-in at her family’s home.

In the episode Bad Blood a retired corrections officer Ray just wants to barbecue in peace, but running children and his wife’s entire family are ruining it for him! Join us to find out just why he hates when kids run around so much, if a double negative leads to proof positive, and if the guy who previously tried to blow Ray up is the murderer or is that too obvious? And if you’re thinking this case sounds familiar, you’re right! We covered the Dateline version of this case years ago but trust us, ID tells the story… differently. Official Description from ID: Retired corrections officer Ray Kotomski believes he has put peril behind him, then he faces danger in the form of his second wife, her hostile brother, jealous ex-husband, and deranged stalker.

It’s a summer of firsts! For the first time ever, Kimberly and Katie revisit their very first Patreon episode from 2017, hoping to finally decide the answer to the ultimate Dateline question, did the husband do it? We couldn’t figure it out 7 years ago, but we now have hundreds of Dateline recaps under our belts. Have our instincts been finely honed? Or are we still judging a case solely on invisible tears, a group of women’s less than stellar memories of their deceased sister, and an ever enduring Dawson’s Creek caesar haircut? Has Josh Mankiewicz's trip to slightly sinister cornfield led us any closer to the truth of this case? Let us know what your verdict would be! It’s a Dateline classic, MYSTERY AT HEATH BAR FARM! OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION FROM NBCU: When Tom Foley becomes the top suspect in his wife's murder, he spends the next two years trying to prove his innocence. Josh Mankiewicz reports.
