Talking Dateline: The Trouble in Bardstown

Lester Holt sits down with Andrea Canning to discuss her latest episode, “The Trouble in Bardstown.” When mother-of-five Crystal Rogers disappeared from Bardstown, Kentucky in 2015, it wasn’t the first tragedy to strike the small town — and it wouldn’t be the last. Her father, Tommy Ballard, was killed the following year. This summer, Crystal’s former boyfriend, Brooks Houck, and two other men were convicted in connection to her death. But Tommy’s and three additional murders remain unsolved, and the Bardstown community wants answers. Andrea tells Lester about the crimes that stunned and divided residents and gives updates on where the investigations stand now. Then, she shares a podcast-exclusive clip from her interview with Crystal’s mother, Sherry Ballard. Later, Dateline producer Rachel White, who worked on the episode, joins Andrea to answer viewer and listener questions from social media.     Have a question for Talking Dateline?
