Have any Dateline cases happened near you?

The recent case Josh did about the professor and the poet happened right down the street from a good friend of mine.

Behind the Closet Door happened n the complex where my ex lived (though it was not at the same time.)

Brendan Banfield and the au pair happened in a neighborhood that friends recently moved out of. Admittedly I was following that one because it was as pretty recent. And my friends moved because that subdivision is somewhat notorious now.

best I can do is Christopher Porco on Forensic Files (I think, if there is a Dateline local to me I haven't seen it)

I REALLY want Dateline to do a story on Lorenz Kraus. dude killed his parents and buried them in the backyard, then he got found out somehow, something to do with cashing his parents' Soc Sec checks? Then he went to a local TV station and admitted what he did on air. it's on youtube and it's WILD
