Do you refuse to watch an episode of Dateline called BEFORE THE STORM where Dennis Murphy says, "There's a storm a-brewin'!" Then this is the Dateline for you! Because he doesn't say that. But he DOES have a little extra cowboy gumshoe detective flair as he walks us through the tragic disappearance and murder of a beautiful mother and the two main suspects who knew her… um… "intimately". But not even Dennis and his more than enoughness can distract Kimberly and Katie from the plethora, the parade, the art exhibition of… COWBOY HATS. Different shapes, sizes, and materials, what do they all mean? So, grab your 10 gallon Stetson, commandeer an airboat, borrow a gun from your local beautician, and head on down to Texas for BEFORE THE STORM!

Official Description from NBCU: A mother of two who vanishes during a storm turns out to be a victim of something sinister. Dennis Murphy reports.
