Talking Dateline: The Haunted House Confession

Blayne Alexander and Josh Mankiewicz sit down to talk about Blayne’s episode "The Haunted House Confession.” When 25-year-old Chantay Blankinship’s remains were found near an abandoned farmhouse in a small Texas town, investigators wondered if someone from the close knit congregation at her church was responsible. Blayne talks about her emotional interviews with Chantay’s family and boyfriend, and shares a podcast-exclusive clip of her interview with two members of Chantay’s congregation who witnessed the killer’s surprising confession. Plus, they answer viewer and listener questions, and Blayne reveals what she learned about cowboy hats and Texas Rangers.
