How can I watch old episodes of Dateline?
Fans can catch up on previous Dateline episodes on Peacock. The streaming service currently offers hundreds of episodes from Seasons 18 through 32.
The most recent new episode available is “The Breakup,” a harrowing story that began after California nurse LaNell Barsock was found dead in the garage of her Palmdale home. Although authorities initially focused on Barsock’s live-in boyfriend, the case would take a surprising and unexpected turn as the investigation continued.
As seen in the “Dark Intentions” episode, "absolute panic” gripped the Arlington, Texas, community after a serial rapist and killer known ominously as the "Bathtub Killer” targeted women in the 1990s. The elusive rapist was finally apprehended, in part, due to the courage of his surviving victims, who came forward to share their chilling encounters with the killer.
In the “Sound and Fury” episode, viewers were transported to the booming Atlanta hip hop scene after the wife of a popular DJ was fatally shot in her home. Tiffany Jackson Pugh was heartlessly gunned down in her bed while her two children were at home. The brazen attack left many in the community wondering whether someone was targeting the influential DJs known for driving the careers of young rappers, or whether there was a more personal motive.
