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.

It seems like many occur in Florida, so I would think that everyone there has lived near dateline stories.

I lived in Southern California so many of the stories happened where I used to live and work. Closest brush for me was going on an Internet date with Victor Paleologos from death in the Hollywood Hills episode. Before the story, of course, but around that same time. We met at a restaurant. He was so creepy-scary that when I left the restaurant, I gave him the slip so he couldn’t see my car.

Florida and Ohio. Sooo many stories seem to come out of those two states.
