Talking Dateline: The Professor & The Poet

Talking Dateline: The Professor & The Poet

Keith Morrison and Josh Mankiewicz sit down to discuss Josh’s latest episode, “The Professor & The Poet.” Sue Marcum, a beloved accounting professor at American University, was found dead in her Bethesda, Maryland, home. When police tracked down her stolen car, they thought maybe her murder was the result of a robbery gone wrong. But DNA pointed to someone much closer to home: Sue's Spanish teacher and friend, Jorge Rueda Landeros. By the time authorities connected him to the crime, Landeros had fled to Mexico, where he lived and taught yoga for more than a decade before his arrest and eventual conviction.

Josh and Keith talk about the dangers of loving the wrong person and the importance of listening to your friends’ advice. Plus, Josh reminisces about his childhood in Bethesda and what it was like to go back there as a Dateline correspondent. He also shares an extra clip from his interview with the killer’s ex-girlfriend.
