4.2/5
Critic Rating
When 18-year-old Michelle O’Keefe is found murdered in her shiny new blue Mustang in a California park and ride, investigators encounter a confusing crime scene and a witness who seems to know too much. In Dateline’s latest original podcast series, Keith Morrison takes us to the High Desert outside Los Angeles for a story featuring twists, turns and a sharp-eyed Dateline viewer who steers the case in an entirely new direction.

"Keith Morrison, you know I love you, but in 2010 when the episode first aired on Dateline NBC and then as a podcast series in 2023, can we stop talking about “lie detectors” like they mean anything? They mean nothing! I didn’t think this podcast series was as interesting as the prior few Dateline NBC podcast series...but I do think it’s worth listening to if you want to see how two good men free an innocent man from prison."

"Listen to the podcast and make up your own mind, but there are some facts that make this mystery less straightforward. The Dateline podcast specialises in strange crime and the latest series is a weird one. It’s worth a listen if only for the smooth talking host Keith Morrison. It’s hard to imagine Morrison doing anything other than narrating true crime stories, although the journalist has lent his voice to navigation app Waze and the mediation app Calm. Also hats off to the succinct, if at times hammy, scripting."
