Josh Mankiewicz and Blayne Alexander sit down to talk about Blayne’s episode, “Deadly Entanglement.” In 2013, Desiree Sunford was found brutally murdered in her Yakima County, Washington, home. While authorities initially focused on the behavior of Desiree’s husband, a deeper dive into the couple’s relationship revealed a complicated connection to another woman and then to another man. Blayne and Josh discuss the tangled web that eventually led investigators to a suspect, as well as Blayne’s exclusive interview with the woman at the center of the story. And Blayne shares a podcast-exclusive clip in which the woman describes her relationship with the killer and her fears if he were to be set free. Plus, Dateline producer Susan Leibowitz joins Josh to answer viewer and listener questions from social media.
