Summary

Keith Morrison talks to Andrea Canning about her most recent episode, “A Girl Named Egypt.” In June 2017, a young woman named Egypt Covington was found murdered in her Michigan home. The local police quickly zeroed in on someone close to her as a possible suspect, only for the case to go cold. Andrea tells Keith about the family’s painful search for answers over the years and the unsettling motive Michigan State Police discovered for the murder after they took over the case. Andrea and Keith also discuss what they’ve learned from other stories they’ve worked on involving the wrongfully accused and put their Dateline knowledge to the test with some trivia questions.
