About this episode

Andrea Canning is joined by Lester Holt to discuss his episode, “Deadly Intersection.” In December 2018, a frantic husband called 911 to report his wife, Jacquelyn Smith, had been stabbed multiple times by a panhandler. After Jacquelyn’s death, Keith Smith and his daughter Valeria made TV appearances warning the public about helping the homeless. But investigators couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was lying to them. Andrea and Lester talk about the clever investigative tactics used to catch the killer. Lester shares an extra clip from his interview with Jacquelyn’s friend Sarah, who talks about the guilt she feels over having introduced Jacquelyn to Keith. Plus, they answer your questions from social media. Have a question for Talking Dateline? Send us a DM @DatelineNBC or leave a voicemail at (212) 413-5252.
