Well, hello, everybody. I'm Keith Morrison, and we are Talking Dateline. Today I'm joined by Blaine Alexander to talk about her episode, Window of Time. Interesting title for this one. If you haven't seen it, you can watch the episode on Peacock or listen to it in the Dateline podcast feed and then

come right back here. And later, Blaine will share a clip from Chris Melton's first ever television

interview what he had to share with Blaine about moving on after Tara's brutal murder.

And we'll answer viewer and listener questions from social media, which could be interesting.

Okay, let's talk Dateline. Let's do it. Blaine, this was a really interesting one. And,

you know, we have done a lot of cold cases over the years at Dateline, but this one just seemed to be more,

I don't know, more full of angst as it went along

and just attracted a lot of attention. It really did. I mean, I think that, for one,

the setting had a lot to do with it. I mean, you're talking about a young lady who was in her

first year of law school. They're in UGA. And if you've been to Georgia, you know that UGA, Athens, it is certainly a focal point.

I think that's putting it lightly here in the state of Georgia, right?

You can't walk 20 feet without finding somebody who has some sort of tie to UGA, whether

they're a dog themselves, whether their kids went there, their parents, they went to UGA law, whatever it is.

I think if I poked you, I discover you have a tie to UGA too. Indeed, I do. Indeed, I do. I'm a dog by marriage. That's what I say. My husband is a very proud Georgia bulldog. So it's kind of become my adopted campus as well. not to mention the fact that just as a local reporter here, I've reported on UGA stories, I mean, dozens of times.

And so this really... adopted campus as well, not to mention the fact that just as a local reporter here, I've reported

on UGA stories, I mean, dozens of times. And so this really is an important place in the state

of Georgia. Then you talk about the fact that you're referring to a student, somebody who was found

dead in her home, a home that, you know, it's supposed to be a safe place.

The last time that she was seen, she was studying at the law library with her friend, you know, leaves, goes home.

The next morning, there's a call that her house is on fire, and she is found brutally murdered inside.

And then over the next few decades, no one's able to solve the crime.

They look at her boyfriend, Chris Melton, who now we know was not terrorist killer. They look at the maintenance man.
