Dennis Murphy looks the part of a upstanding politician meandering the marble laden halls of the Arkansas State Capitol building, where this Dateline murder investigation sets it's scene. This episode revolves around the surprising murder of a former state senator by an alligator dressed as a congressman that had been transported over the Arkansas state lines by Ivanka and Justin Bieber. No? Well maybe this is a bit far fetched, but because the victim was in the political sphere the theories in this case flew fast and loose. Even when the true motive behind the murder is much more simple, senseless and sinister. Kimberly and Katie take a break from creating their Daily Dennisisms flip calendar to caucus on the crime at hand and special delegate Joni weighs in with her feelings on the issues. Oh say can't you see this is going to be a great episode? Please enjoy this very special installment of A DATE WITH DATELINE: Checks and Balances or Chelsea's Revenge.

Official Description from NBCU: When a former Arkansas State Senator is found fatally stabbed, investigators must determine if her murder is connected to her political career or her personal life. Dennis Murphy reports.

Dateline has returned after hiatus due to a long worldwide sporting event wherein there are events like "salmoning" where humans race downstream to the ocean after being born. That's not right, but there are many things about this most recent Dateline case that aren't right and are downright fishy. But thank god, Keith Morrison is on the scene in stunning Colorado to find out just what is happening in the search for missing mom, Suzanne Morphew. Kimberly and Katie are gathering up clues like chipmunks gathering nuts, but they better watch their backs because the main suspect in Suzanne's disappearance is an avid hunter with a penchant for little squeaky fur balls. The question right now is... is it only animals that he set his site on? Or did something terrifying happen to Suzanne in the canyons? Time to dust off your armchair detective hat and enjoy this very special part one of what will inevitably be a multi part coverage. It's A DATE WITH DATELINE: Barry Odd Behavior.
