Summary

Andrea Canning and Josh Mankiewicz sit down to talk about Andrea’s episode "Poison Twist.” In 2017, Katie Conley was convicted of poisoning her boss and ex-boyfriend's mother, Mary Yoder, a beloved chiropractor in upstate NY. But after a stunning development this year, Conley was released from custody. Andrea shares a podcast-exclusive clip of her interview with Conley’s defense attorney, and she and Josh discuss what might be next for Conley. Plus, they dish about their favorite fast food, Andrea’s uncanny ability to spot a Canadian accent, and welcome a special guest, NBC News Legal Analyst Danny Cevallos, to help answer viewer questions. If you have a question for Talking Dateline, send us an audio message on social @datelinenbc or leave us a voicemail at (212) 413-5252.

Hi, everybody. I'm Josh Mankowitz, and we're talking Dateline today with Andrea. Hi, Andrea.

0:10.3

Hi, Josh. We are here to discuss Andrea's episode called Poison Twist. Now, if you have not seen it,

0:15.5

it's the episode right below this one on your Dateline podcast feed. So go there, listen to it.

0:20.0

You can also watch it on

0:21.7

Peacock and then come back here. Now, just to recap a little bit, this is about the death of a

0:26.9

chiropractor named Mary Yoder back in 2015. That turned into a criminal investigation.

0:32.3

And it turned out she had been poisoned. And a very weird anonymous letter eventually led them to a possible killer

0:39.6

who was Mary's office manager, a woman named Caitlin Conley, also known as Katie. And there's a new

0:45.7

development, and it's turned all of this kind of upside down. And it's a great who done it. So for this

0:51.7

talking dateline, we have an extra clip of Andrea's interview with Katie Connolly's

Sounds like trying her again is going to be a lot harder than trying her the first couple of times.

1:20.1

Yeah.

1:20.4

I was literally just thinking about that seconds before you said it, Josh, about will they go after Katie Conley again? No question.

1:29.4

It's more difficult now that the cell phone evidence can't be used. Yeah, I mean, when it has

1:35.0

your defendant searching for poison, I mean, that doesn't look good. Why are you searching for poison?

1:42.1

Although they say that Adam had access to all of her

1:44.6

electronics. But still, it's not something that you want a jury hearing if you're the defense.

1:51.9

And, you know, if this is her being framed by Adam, which I'm not taking a position on, but if it is,
