murder investigation

It should have been a leisurely Saturday off work for 13-year-old Mary Phagan, who was looking forward to celebrating the Confederate Memorial Day holiday. It should have been an easy day for Leo Frank, too, who hoped to leave his job at the factory early to go to the local baseball game with his wife. It should have been a carefree day for 16-year old Grace Hicks, who was enjoying a rare day off, and waiting for her friend to join her at the parade.

It was anything but a beautiful, joyful, restful day. 

Mary Phagan would never make it to the parade. Grace would soon be faced with an unimaginable task. And Leo Frank? Why couldn't the police get in touch with him? What happened in the basement of the pencil factory at that grisly crime scene? And who wrote that strange note? Join us for part two of this seven-episode series, The Vigilantes.

Andrea Canning and Dennis Murphy discuss his latest episode, “A Life Interrupted.” Within months of the disappearance of Connecticut mother of five, Jennifer Dulos, Dennis sat down with her estranged husband, Fotis Dulos – the man investigators believe murdered her. Dennis tells Andrea what it was like in 2024 to sit in a Connecticut courtroom and see not Fotis, but his girlfriend Michelle Troconis on trial for conspiracy to commit murder, among other charges. Dennis brings Andrea up to speed on the high-tech investigation at the center of the case and the heartache of those left behind. He plays a podcast-exclusive snippet of his powerful interview with a group of Jennifer’s friends and answers viewers and listeners questions from social media.

Josh Mankiewicz and Dennis Murphy go behind the scenes of Dennis’s recent episode, “Family Matters.” Since the 2014 killing of Florida State University law professor Dan Markel, Dateline has followed the complex murder-for-hire case through multiple arrests and convictions, including that of Charlie Adelson, Dan Markel’s former brother-in-law. Dennis answers listeners’ questions about the case and shares extra audio from a jailhouse call Charlie made to his mother, Donna, who was recently charged in the case herself and has pleaded not guilty.
