LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: This week, NBC has made changes to the 'Dateline NBC' broadcast schedule. Normally, reruns of previous 'Dateline' episodes air on Sundays, but this week, the schedule is different.
On Saturday, May 25, at 9 PM ET/8 PM CT, NBC will air 'Dateline’s Shannon’s Story'. This episode covers the disappearance of a college student who went missing in broad daylight from her off-campus job at a softball field. Investigators receive a mysterious phone call that changes the course of the investigation. The story is reported by Dennis Murphy and features interviews with Special Agent Joe Fonseca, Luis and Yvonne Melendi, and former ADA John Petrey.
Notably, NBC releases fresh episodes of 'Dateline NBC' only on Fridays, as fans get to revisit old cases on Sundays.
When will the next 'Dateline NBC' episode air?
The highly anticipated new episode of 'Dateline NBC' is set to air May 31, at 9 PM ET. While fans eagerly await its release, NBC has yet to unveil the details of the upcoming episode.
It's a common practice for networks to withhold episode details until a few days before the air date, building anticipation and keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. As the air date draws closer, viewers can expect NBC to release more information about the episode, giving hints of what's to come.
What happened on 'Dateline NBC' last Friday?
The last episode of Dateline NBC delved into the murder of Teresa Sievers, a well-respected holistic physician, which shocked the serene community of Bonita Springs, Florida, and captivated national attention with its chilling details. On June 28, 2015, Teresa was brutally bludgeoned to death in her own home by two men, Curtis Wayne Wright Jr and Jimmy Ray Rodgers.
The gruesome crime was later revealed to have been orchestrated by Teresa's husband, Mark Sievers, driven by a blend of financial greed and personal desperation. Mark feared losing custody of their children and sought to claim over $4.433 million from Teresa's life insurance policies. This sinister plot, involving a web of betrayal and calculated violence, unfolded like a real-life crime thriller, leaving Florida grappling with fear.
