Talking Dateline: The Bluegrass Mystery

Dateline NBC

Andrea Canning sits down with Blayne Alexander to discuss her episode “The Bluegrass Mystery.” In October 2019, Glenn Jackson reported his wife, Ella, missing. The next day, her adult son, Phillip, did the same. After interviewing Glenn, Phillip, and Ella's ex-husband and close friend, Jason Hans, investigators focused on Glenn, based on his odd behavior and Ella's own words. Test results confirmed their thinking, and police arrested Glenn. But just before trial, a discovery changed everything. Blayne shares an exclusive clip with one of Ella's friends, who remembers her as a devoted mother to her young son, Alex. Blayne and Andrea also discuss the surprising and touching outcome for Alex after his mother’s death. Plus, we answer your questions from social media. Have a question for Talking Dateline?
