0:00.0 | Hi, everyone. It's Blaine Alexander, and today we are talking Dateline. I am so happy to be joined by the one, the only Josh Mancowicz. Hi, Josh. Hi. Hello. How you doing? I am great. So we're talking about your episode, The Widow of Woodland Hills. If you haven't seen it, it's the episode right below this one on your Dateline podcast feed. |
0:24.0 | So go there, listen to it, or stream it on Peacock, of course, and then come right back here. |
0:29.2 | Quick recap, when Hollywood hairstylist Fabio Cimentelie was stabbed in his own backyard, |
0:34.8 | investigators wondered if it was a burglary gone wrong. What they uncovered |
0:38.8 | instead was an affair that turned deadly. For this talking Dateline, we've got an extra clip from |
0:44.5 | Josh's interview with Fabio's sister and more about how the murderer has torn this family apart. |
0:50.6 | Okay, let's talk Dateline. Let's talk Dateline. |
1:04.5 | You know, I think that this story is kind of what talking Dateline is made for because as we sit here recording, it's 3.36 p.m. Eastern Time on a Friday. |
1:07.7 | We just got the verdict two out, three hours ago? |
1:08.8 | Something like that, yeah. |
1:10.9 | This was kind of a breaking news bit for us. |
1:13.9 | And it's great when that kind of thing can happen. |
1:18.9 | When we can go on the air at 9 o'clock on a Friday night and say, this happened today. |
1:21.2 | That doesn't always happen that way. |
1:28.1 | A lot of times we do stories that, you know, were adjudicated more than a couple of years before we went on the air. But when we're covering a trial right down to the minute, it's great to be able to say, this is the latest news on this, |
1:33.7 | the actual verdict. And I think it's a testament to just the dexterity of our producing team, |
1:40.4 | of everyone who puts these shows on the air, because I mean, yes, to scramble and get that together and fill the holes that need to be filled, yeah, it takes a team. It takes an effort. |
1:48.8 | No, no. I mean, Chet Najoshi, Jessica DeVera, Michelle Madigan, the producers who worked on |

2:05.6 | And as a result of the incredible organization of this team, we were completely ready. |
2:12.8 | Well, I love it. It's amazing to see. It's amazing to watch it. And, you know, at least from the |
2:17.4 | podcast side, be part of it for today. So let's jump into this episode, Josh. I think the first thing that if you watch Dateline, you work on Dateline, you always know, okay, they're going to look at the partner first, right?
