Hello, I'm Blaine Alexander, and I'm here with Andrea Canning, and we are talking

Dateline. So this episode is called The Premonition. It's about the 2006 murder of a beloved dentist,

John Yelnik, who predicted his own death and the obstacles that investigators had to overcome in bringing his

killer to justice. Now, if you haven't listened to the show yet, it's the episode right below

this one on our list of podcasts. So just choose from that. You can go there, listen to it.

Or if you want to watch it, of course, you can stream it on Peacock and then come right back here.

When you come back, Andrea has an extra clip that she wants to play for us from her interview

with Dr. Mark Perlin, the chief scientific and executive officer at Cybergenetics.

And then later, of course, we're going to answer some of your questions from social media.

So make sure you stay tuned for that.

Okay, let's talk Dateline.

Let's talk Dateline.

Hey, Blaine. Hey, Andrea, how are you?

I'm good. I haven't even seen you in the new year. So it's a little late, but happy New Year, Blaine. Thank you. It's always appropriate and happy New Year back to you. Yeah. I have to tell you

that this story, it literally had me hooked from the very first line, right, to say, hey, I paid you $10,000 to investigate my murder and I'm not dead yet. That's wild.

It is wild. And it's something we see in different forms on Dateline where someone writes a letter to themselves or they write it to someone else or they tell someone,

you know, if something happens to me, you know, so this was more uncommon because he's paying

money and he's actually like enlisting the help of his attorney. But definitely over the years,

people have predicted their own murders on Dateline, sadly.

There were so many parts of the story that were just gripping. I think past the premonition,

the person who found John's body, his nine-year-old neighbor, Zach found his body and this really

gory scene. What was it like talking to him? Of course, many years later, but that was just a hard, hard thing.
