I wanted to come here and just do everything that I can in my power to find my friend.

Good morning, everyone.

You're listening in to the Dateline Story Meeting.

Our producers are catching up on breaking crime news.

Do you think there's going to be cameras in the trial?

Welcome to Dateline True Crime Weekly.

I'm Andrea Canning.

It's May 28th, and here's what's on our docket.

In San Diego County, California, it's week two in the murder trial of a man accused of paying people to cast magic spells on his wife.

I can't remember a time that we talk about magic or spells in general when we're talking about homicide trials.

In Dateline Roundup, we've got the latest from the courtroom in the case of Barry Morphew, a Colorado man accused of murdering his wife using animal tranquilizers.

And a New Jersey businessman convicted of murdering his own brother and his brother's family faces the judge at his sentencing.

Plus, the widow of a man murdered in front of their two-year-old child tells us about her campaign to bring comfort to children who end up alone and scared at the police station.

So as I reflected on that night, wishing that there had been more to comfort her, that she had a diaper that fit her, I just thought we have to do something.

But before all that, we're off to Los Angeles, where a TikTok star has been charged with attempting to take out a hit on her ex.

Beautiful lifestyle influencer Gabby Gonzalez has built a devoted following on social media, documenting her life in Hawaii and beyond.
