  • Summary

  • Two days after Christmas, 2011, Russ Faria came home from game night to find his wife, Betsy, dead. He was soon charged and convicted of her murder. But Russ Faria insisted he did not kill his wife. Betsy’s brutal murder set off a chain of events that would leave one man dead, another man implicated, and expose a diabolical scheme. It would also see Dateline NBC—the true-crime original—become a part of the never-ending saga that proves the old adage: Truth is stranger than fiction. This original series from Keith Morrison and Dateline defies all expectations.

I can't believe this story is real

Sounds like a far fetched movie plot, except it's real. I couldn't help but laugh with disbelief at the audacity of that lady. Highly recommend if you like murder mystery type stuff.

I can't get the ending!

Episode 9 keeps saying that there is a playback error! The story is crazy I wish I could hear the whole thing!

Keith Morrison At His Best

This is top quality Keith Morrison story telling. Great story, great story telling, great all around! Listen to this before watching the Netflix series of the same name, staring Renee Zelwiger.

Can't download final episode 9

Episode 9 in the podcast, which is still labeled "The Thing About Pam", looks like it's going to be about the fun Silvio Berlusconi had in office. Or maybe it's just an ad for another podcast.

I'm not interested at all in the Renee Zellweger scripted presentation, which is the subject of the last episode (10). I just wanted to hear what happened at the end of the true crime version.

Disappointing.
