About this episode

<p>Blayne Alexander sits down with Andrea Canning to talk about her episode, “Take Two,” about a murder-for-hire plot targeting the wife of podiatrist Ira Bernstein. Blayne and Andrea break down the undercover sting involving a car salesman who stepped in to play the role of hit man, and the shocking twist that happened after the guilty parties had done their time, making the case feel more like a movie than real life. Plus, they play a portion of Andrea’s interview with a detective that didn’t make the broadcast, which reveals another potential plot against Susan Bernstein. Andrea reflects on her own experience going undercover, and she and Blayne answer your questions from social media.</p> <p>Have a question for Talking Dateline?
