Talking Dateline: Open Desert

Over deze aflevering

<p>Andrea Canning talks to Josh Mankiewicz about his episode, “Open Desert.” On March 8, 2020, 16-year-old Britney Ujlaky told her dad she was leaving a park to meet up with a friend. She never came home. Her partially-clothed body was found three days later in the Nevada desert. Detectives investigated multiple potential suspects before they turned their attention to the last person to see Britney alive. Josh and Andrea discuss Britney’s strong relationship with her father, Jim Ujlaky, and the blackmail scheme that gave her family false hope after she disappeared. Later, Josh shares a podcast-exclusive clip from his interview with Jim about his first impressions of the killer. Plus, Dateline producer Ann Preisman joins the conversation to share her experience making the episode and to answer viewer and listener questions from social media.</p><p> </p><p>Listen to the full episode of “Open Desert” on Apple: <a href="https://apple.co/3ZD8uRI">https://apple.co/3ZD8uRI</a></p><p>Listen to the full episode on Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/2TsAqez4bG3bmKKbz31Yhg">https://open.spotify.com/episode/2TsAqez4bG3bmKKbz31Yhg</a></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
