Ep. 318 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “Dateline: On A Dark, Deserted Highway”

Hot Dateline Month continues with this breakneck chase down the long dark highway of mental illness. Episode 16 of season 31, entitled "On A Dark, Deserted Highway", begins decades before the terrifying police pursuit that gives this episode its name. It’s the dark saga of a tormented man whose twisted actions towards his wives and loved ones should have resulted in his confinement and treatment years before he went on a deadly shooting spree and high speed chase on a peaceful Montana night. How does one man end up turning against the very system that allowed his crimes to go unchecked for years?  That's the question Christopher and Eric wrestle with in this truly disturbing installment of one of their favorite true crime shows.
