Talking Dateline: The Mushroom Mystery

Talking Dateline: The Mushroom Mystery

Josh Mankiewicz sits down with Blayne Alexander to discuss her episode, “The Mushroom Mystery.” In April 2020, the body of beloved cyclist David Fouts was found in a ditch in Hamilton County, Indiana. The autopsy was inconclusive, but did reveal David had consumed toxic mushrooms, just not the lethal kind. Detectives pieced together a case against David’s widow, Katrina Fouts, accusing her of devising an elaborate plot to kill her husband with the help of her friend, retired police officer Terry Hopkins. The two were charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder. While awaiting trial, Terry told investigators he’d strangled David. He died a few months later. In 2022, a jury acquitted Katrina of murder but found her guilty on the conspiracy charge. Blayne shares a podcast-exclusive clip from her interview with Terry’s ex-wife. Plus, Blayne and Josh swap stories from their time starting out as local news reporters, and answer your questions from social media. Have a question for Talking Dateline?

Talking Dateline: Slow Burn

Blayne Alexander sits down with Andrea Canning to discuss her latest episode, “Slow Burn.” In November 2018, 911 operators in Colts Neck, New Jersey, received reports of a house engulfed in flames. When first responders arrived, they discovered the bodies of Keith Caneiro, his wife, Jennifer, and their two children. Investigators soon determined the family had been killed before the house was set on fire. Just hours earlier, in a neighboring town, authorities responded to another house fire, this time at the home of Keith’s older brother, Paul. As detectives pieced together the evidence, they uncovered the truth –  Paul had murdered his brother’s family, and set fire to both homes in an attempt to conceal his crimes and misdirect authorities. Andrea and Blayne discuss how the murders affected the Colts Neck community, and examine the growing tension between the two brothers in the years leading up to the killings. Plus, Andrea shares a clip of Jennifer’s mother delivering her victim impact statement. Later, Dateline producer Cassandra Marshall joins Andrea to answer viewer and listener questions.
