A drummer skips a beat, a young girl tries banking for the first time and a person with suspiciously plastic smelling hair doesn't know how to drive a stick shift. These could all be day to day seemingly innocuous occurrences, but this is DATELINE people! And Dennis Murphy is just outside Detroit to talk about rock-n-roll, multi-jurisdictional detective work and the crimes committed over a three day period by a chain of breakfast food restaurants. Confused? Never fear... Dennis is ready to take us through all the seemingly unrelated events surrounding this classic episode TAKEN (Season 19 Episode 2) in great detail. Which Katie will need more than ever because she doesn't have her best and most smartest friend Kimberly this episode to explain it all. But at least guest host Jake was available to dive into the genres and subgenres of metal music, gas station apparel and drop a few good SAT words on the chat. So prepare to laugh a little and cry a little and enjoy this cheat date with Jake episode of A DATE WITH DATELINE: Communication Breakdown.

Official Description from PEACOCK TV: Detectives connect a series of seemingly random crimes to crack the case of a missing young man. Dennis Murphy reports.
