Kimberly and Katie have dug into the archives to revisit the classic-est of all the classic Dateline episodes we’ve ever covered. This episode truly has everything: Pizza bomb. Casual lollipoping. Escape room fail. JJ the Scapegoat. Terrified coroner. A documentarian’s white whale. A pretentious man in bib overalls. 400 pounds of government cheese in an attic in July. The worst courtroom sketch ever that you will see in your nightmares. A crack dealer fishing buddy. A prison snitch with epic goldenrod hair. Also Dennis Murphy in a cherry red windbreaker. All this in an episode full of chaos, we’re left with one burning question: If having a garage fridge filled with beverages means that you’ve made it in life, what does having a dead body in a garage freezer mean?  Official Description from NBCU: A man dies after robbing a bank when a bomb that was placed around his neck detonates. Dennis Murphy reports. Shopping with our sponsors is an easy way to support our podcast! Tell them we sent you!
