It's that time of year... stockings are hung, hot cider is simmering and Father Keithmas, better known as Keith Morrison is regaling us with a case that takes place during the time of year usually reserved for holly and jolly. A family is ripped apart by the death of a wife and mother on Christmas eve. But was the death actually a crime? Kimberly and Katie are here to discuss the cold hard facts and the townsfolk involved. Which include; a charming gun and pawn shop owner who hates khakis and the police, a defense attorney named Mr. Deputy, and an investigator/blood spatter expert with an interesting take on the evidence. So pop in your favorite Bump-It and get ready to go Polkin Around in a very special year end episode of A DATE WITH DATELINE! Happy Holi-Dateline!
