Talking Dateline: Justice for Joy

Andrea Canning talks to Blayne Alexander about her most recent episode, “Justice for Joy.” In 1991, Joy Hibbs was stabbed, strangled, and her Pennsylvania home was set on fire to cover up the brutal crime. The investigation went cold until a detective with the Bristol Township Police Department picked up the case file decades later and uncovered a connection between the department and a man who’d been interviewed at the time of Joy’s murder. Blayne tells Andrea about the Hibbs family’s desperate search for answers and plays a podcast-exclusive clip from her interview with the woman who finally unlocked the mystery. Blayne and Andrea also discuss how motherhood has affected their approach to interviews. Blayne and Dateline producer Justin Balding answer viewer and listener questions about the episode. Listen to the full episode of “Justice for Joy” on Apple: https://apple.co/4gePjVdListen to the full episode on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6YDAOYItlXcwlAVXxu1c1m Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
