Dennis Murphy is in Mark Twain country, which on a Dateline usually means something terrible has happened in a picturesque and seemingly safe town. In GHOST RIDER a wife, mother, nurse and just all around wonderful person, Becky Bliefnick, is found murdered in her bathroom shortly after Valentine's day. In this Cheat Date with Dateline Katie is joined by Jake to discuss bow ties, bogus judicial rulings and bags, bags and more bags. It may be a classic Dateline tale of someone close to this woman has done her horribly wrong, but a few extra precious moments as well as some super extra jerkface moments will make this a story that's hard to forget. So grab a piece of toast and join us for A DATE WITH DATELINE: Survey Says- I DO (find you to be a raging jerk)!

Official Description from NBCU: After a nurse and mother of three is found fatally shot inside her Illinois home, investigators uncover security camera footage that could be key to solving the case. Dennis Murphy reports.

Kimberly and Katie have stepped out on a Double Date from Dateline with the hilarious Ellyn and Joey from the I THINK NOT Podcast! Topic of the night... what else? Phrogging. Specifically the Phrogging: Hider in my House episode CREEPY CRAWLERS (S.1 Ep.5). It's a tale of two Tims: one Portland beer connoisseur, one Oklahoma oil baron and the men who phrogg them. There is also an epic closet tour, a cat in a sweater and nerve-wracking bathroom situation.

Please be warned, not only will we be discussing people living in the walls of your house without you knowing, this is also a more adult conversation. This is a late night Double Date with Dateline... the kind where you put the kids to bed, find the old bottle of Malibu Rum you forgot about and make a night of it!

A big thank you to Ellyn and Joey for the laughs, songs and a Double Date for the ages. We hope they call us for a second!
