Summary

Keith Morrison and Josh Mankiewicz sit down to talk about Keith’s episode, “The Devil Wore White.” It’s the story of the charismatic and manipulative grifter Sante Kimes and her two sons. One son was able to escape their mother’s grip. The other was not. Kenny Kimes would do anything his mother asked, including murder. Josh and Keith break down the dynamics of the Kimes family and explore what drove Sante and Kenny to kill. Keith shares an extra clip from his interview with Sante’s eldest son, Kent Walker, highlighting what it was like growing up with Sante as a mother. Dateline producer Ann Preisman joins the discussion to help answer viewer and listener questions. Plus, Josh and Keith address those pesky rumors that they don’t get along.

Hi, everybody. I'm Josh Mankiewicz, and we're talking Dateline today with Keith. Hi, Keith.

0:10.6

Oh, hello, Josh. So this episode is called The Devil War White, and it's the kind of story that we almost never do at Dateline because it's less about the relationship between killer and

Now, this is the story of a criminal mastermind, someone you might have heard of.

her surprising partner in those crimes and those murders, her youngest son, Kenny. Now, if you have not

1:30.7

So stick around for that.

1:32.2

Or stay tuned, as we often said in 1961.

1:34.9

Keith, do you remember saying stay tuned?

1:36.4

I remember saying that.

1:37.6

I still say stay tuned, Josh.

1:39.0

Yeah.

1:39.3

There's no tuner anymore.

1:40.6

That's the problem.

1:41.7
