About this episode

<p>Josh Mankiewicz sits down with Blayne Alexander to discuss his Dateline episode "Deadly Mirage" about the 2014 murder of Rob Limon in Tehachapi, California. The subsequent investigation uncovered an affair in which the Bible was used to justify murder. Josh and Blayne discuss Rob, his wife, and their friends – the self-proclaimed “Wolf Pack” –  and the unorthodox secrets of the desert oasis they called home. Josh tells Blayne how the confessed murderer pointed prosecutors to another key player in the scheme. Later, Josh shares an extra clip from the killer’s testimony at trial. Plus, he answers your questions from social media.</p><p><br /> </p><p>Have a question for Talking Dateline?
