Ep. 294 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “DATELINE: Siren Song”

Look, Christopher and Eric love DATELINE as much as the next true crime junkie. But sometimes the show's rush to get an episode on the air can lead to a rush to judgment. That's their concern with a recent episode entitled "Siren Song", the seventieth episode of their thirtieth – that's right, thirtieth! – season. TV show detectives love to say it's always, always, always the husband. Or boyfriend. Or fiancé. But is that really the case in the strange disappearance of Sarm Heslop, who vanished from her boyfriend's luxury catamaran off the coast of the US Virgin Islands in the hours before dawn? COVID kept her friends and loved ones from joining the search and now they fear the local authorities let the most likely suspect slip through their fingers.
