It's the big 3-0 for Dateline and in this 30th season premiere they are staying on theme with a triple homicide. Keith Morrison is staying forever young, leaning into the future in small town Kentucky where strange circumstances surround the brutal murders of a husband, wife and their unsuspecting neighbor. This episode is fright filled drama from the start: evidence appearing out of no where, boarded up doors, a gasp on the other end of the phone line and old houses with secrets that want to stay hidden. However, Kimberly and Katie are refusing to age gracefully and have as many pressing questions as ever. What is the actual timeline of the crime? How do you pronounce Louisville again? What or whom is a "quark"? And does maritime law apply to possibly angry sea captains who would like you to move out of their family home immediately? Theories abound in this season opener so grab your coffee, with or without whisky, and get ready to fall y'all for THE EVIL THAT WATCHES!

Official Description from NBCU: A triple murder divides a small town in Kentucky. As secrets come tumbling out, residents begin to wonder: How well do we really know our neighbors? Keith Morrison reports.
