Talking Dateline: Murder & Magnolias

Blayne Alexander sits down with Keith Morrison to discuss his original series, “Murder & Magnolias.” In 2017, a bitter divorce between prominent Charleston, South Carolina, couple Chris and Nancy Latham spiraled into a murder-for-hire investigation that stunned the community. Blayne and Keith break down the key moments in the case, including the unlikely person who helped authorities crack it, and the “hit packet” that brought the plot into focus. Plus, Dateline producer Carol Gable joins the conversation to discuss where Nancy Latham is today and what it took to report the story. Keith also talks about what -- if any -- his aspirations were before getting into journalism, and the team reflects on some of their most dangerous moments in the field. Plus, they answer viewer and listener questions. Have a question for Talking Dateline? DM us @DatelineNBC or leave a voicemail at (212) 413-5252.
