Lester Holt

Good morning.

You are listening to the Dateline Story Meeting.

Our producers are catching up on breaking crime news.

The ambulance driver thought he was just torn up about his son dying.

The local police are now, I think, more on this case.

Welcome to Dateline True Crime Weekly.

I'm Lester Holt.

It's April 30th, and here's what's on our docket.

In California, a man is heading to trial for allegedly murdering his wife after investigators say he paid a spellcaster to put a hex on her.

In Dateline Roundup, Jake Reiner, the son of legendary Hollywood director Rob Reiner and producer Michelle Singer Reiner, shares his story for the first time since their murders.

And nearly 20 years after the murder of rap star Jam Master Jay, there is a surprise plea.

Plus, Andrea talks to NBC's Alison Barber about Allegedly, her new video podcast on Netflix that digs deep into some of the most high-profile cases in true crime.

But before all that, we're off to Florida and a story that has captured attention across the country, the disappearance of two college students.

Two University of South Florida graduate students are missing this morning and investigators are asking for your help to find them.

This week, there was a big break in the case.

Two weeks ago, on the morning of April 16th, Nahida Bristi, a doctoral student at the University of South Florida, called her parents back home in Bangladesh.

It was the last time her family ever heard from her.

A few days later, the University Police Department announced that Nahida's family had reported her missing, and she wasn't the only student who vanished.

Nahida's friend, Jamil Lamone, was missing too.

On Friday came the devastating news.
