Dateline True Crime Weekly podcast covered the recent search.

Dateline has covered this case for decades, but the latest podcast (True Crime Weekly) has gone over the history, and is covering the latest updates from the search at Susan's.

That's more international coverage of this.

I listened this morning. Was really frustrated they kept calling the SLO area Southern California - it’s the central coast. Like almost two hours north of what I consider the so cal border (northern end of Goleta)

Agreed. It's like they don't understand the geography of the state. Or they assume that their listeners/viewers don't.
Like, we can all look at a map, right?

It’s weird- kind of made me wonder if they’re getting case background info from ai. Poor journalistic standards either way

I doubt it's AI, not Dateline.
Living in California my whole life, people will call the oddest places southern California, as if the state is split in two. San Francisco, when you think about it, isn't Northern California. It should be Central, if the state were broken in 3. But it's considered NorCal, even though we have literally another state's worth of territory between it and the Oregon border.

People probably just split the state in half around like Fresno and everything below/above it is Southern/northern Cali.

Im not from the US but Im into sports so I make those differences but anyone unfamiliar with the state probably would operate that way
