Blayne Alexander talks with Keith Morrison about his episode, “The Bucket Hat Mystery.” In 2022, acupuncturist Jon Tokuhara was found shot inside his Hawaii clinic.

Blayne and Keith discuss reporting the story in Hawaii and the creative ways the team came up with to tell it. Plus, they dive into how security footage and a fallen bucket hat became key pieces of evidence.

Lester Holt sits down with Josh Mankiewicz to talk about his latest episode, “The Phantom.”  In the fall of 2023, Colorado mother Kristil Krug was found murdered after she was stalked for months. Investigators initially believed her stalker and potential killer was her high school ex-boyfriend. But they soon realized they’d been led astray, and the killer was in front of them all along: Kristil’s husband, Daniel Krug. Lester and Josh discuss how Kristil helped solve her own murder through meticulous logging and how police finally zeroed in on Dan. Later, Josh shares a podcast-exclusive clip from his interview with Kristil’s cousin, who’s now an anti-stalking advocate. Then, Josh and Lester answer your questions from social media.
