Hi everyone, I'm Blaine Alexander, and today we are Talking Dateline. And I am so fortunate today because I'm joined by not one but two stellar journalists to talk about this episode. So I'm glad to have my dear friend Keith Morrison joined by super producer Cassandra Marshall. Hi guys. Hello, Blaine. Good to see you. Hi
guys. Hi Cassandra.
Small family reunion here on Talking Date Line. We love it. So this episode is called Suspicion in Silver City and it's about the murder of twenty-three year old nurse and mother of two Cassie Farrington. And of course if you haven't seen that episode yet, you can stream it now on Peacock or listen wherever you get your podcasts, then come right back here and listen to this episode. And later on we'll play an extra clip from a former judge who has been following this case very closely. And as always, we will end by answering some of your questions from social media. All right, friends, let's talk dateline.
Sounds good. All right.
So Keith, I have to say this is my first time actually seeing you in a while. It's so good to see you.
It's it has been a while, yes.
But I have to say there's an important piece of business to attend to. I learned that you and I are almost birthday twins. Yeah. You are you are a cancer king and I'm a cancer queen. I'm July ninth. And Keith, you're the sixth, right?
I no, I'm the uh second actually. So you're one week younger than I am. Magic that's
exactly it. Exactly. Um, well, this was a this was a fantastic episode for me, as you started getting into the investigation, had it not been front for uh the determination, the dog determination of this family. We may may not be sitting here talking about this case.
Sure. It's a question many families face, and we run into it all the time. How hard should a family push to get the legal system to actually do something? In many cases, families don't feel they have the right to do that, or they just assume that Uh, you know, the police departments are going to do their level best to to uh you know, find justice for their loved one. But families can make a huge difference just Calling and calling and calling and keeping up the pressure. And if they think that something has gone wrong, say so.
Well, I w I wanna talk a little bit about how you all Discovered the story, how you dove into the story, but Keith, if you could just give me a summary of a quick overview of this case.
Well, this is a story of a y young woman just starting out in life. She uh had two children already at the age of twenty-three, and uh had had was now, you know, starting a career at the same time. So she was a very busy woman. Uh she had been married to a uh a local police officer. The relations between the two were not that great. And so it's one of those classic cases where you would expect when she uh they they discovered. Her body in a bathtub and the water flowing over the bathtub to the floor of the home that she lived in, that, you know, one of the first things they might do was have a good look around and see if there was a struggle and if there was to take some whatever evidence they could, but also immediately go and speak to the husband, because, you know, quite often it is the husband in a case like this, but it finally took it a new investigator.
