Well, hi, everybody. I'm Lester. Hold, welcome to Talking Dateline. Today, we're with Andrea Canning to talk about her latest episode, The Trouble in Bardstown.

Andrea, first off, it's good to see you.

You too, Lester.

All right, so to recap, Mother of Five, Crystal Rogers disappeared from Bardstown, Kentucky in July of 2015.

The mystery went unsolved for eight years until police charged Crystal's former boyfriend,

Brooks Halk, with her murder. This year, Halk and two other men were convicted in connection

with Crystal's death, but four additional murders

remain unsolved, and Bardstown still wants answers. Now, for this talking dayline, we have an

exclusive clip from Andrew's interview with Crystal's mom, Sherry. So let's get started.

Andrew, before we get into the nuts and bolts of the case itself, let's talk a little bit about the town.

This is a town that people took a lot of pride in.

They called it the most beautiful small town in America.

How did that reflect in your reporting as you went along in the story?

Yeah, I mean, first of all, I actually have a friend from Bardstown.

So when I was a local anchor in Cincinnati, my next-door neighbor was from Bardstown,

Therese, Weddington.

So I had already heard about it through her, but it's a very charming small town in Kentucky.

It's just, you know, 40 minutes from Louisville, and it's the Bourbon Trail.

And, you know, it's just one of those Americana-type towns, you know, a little bit like Mayberry.

It's beautiful. The people are all so nice, and the downtown is very charming. So it is quite the

juxtaposition, you know, when you think about the town and everything that's happened in the town and around the town, you know, it's almost like they don't fit together.

Yeah, I mean, let's face it, five murders in four years, there's a shocking statistic in a small town like that.
