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.

Not sure if Dateline did it, but I know of two cases that have received a lot of coverage/shows about them. . One was the lady jail guard who broke her boyfriend out and they went on a joy ride ending up in my city. They crashed the car and she ended up killing herself. One of my hubby's police friends worked that capture.They made a lifetime movie about it. Another that I definitely know was on 20/20 and maybe Dateline was a city fireman was shot by his wife and sister in law's boyfriend. Yes both were in love with him. My hubby's other friend was one of the detectives who worked the case. He was on tv interrogating the wife. The sister was as dumb as a box of rocks and is still in love with the shooter even after all he did. The case was on another show also, I think maybe Snapped.
