For the first time in history ADWD is releasing a... drumette roll please... Patreon only episode that Kimberly and Katie reference probably 2-3 times a month. RANSOM is a Dateline classic with kidnapping, bungled money drops, many mistaken identities, very rich people, very confused Germans and a first name that once you hear it- you'll never forget it. Please stay tuned to the end of the episode for a special conversation with the man himself Josh Mankiewicz on this fascinating case. Get your Diet Coke at the ready because it is time for a QUINNtessential episode of A DATE WITH DATELINE.
