What happened to Diane Kine and why is her death a mystery?
Hi, I'm Kate Snow, NBC News Anchor and host of the NBC News podcast The Drink. This month I'm sitting down with actor, writer, producer Brendan Hunt. Most of you know him as Coach Beard from Ted Lasso, but there is so much more to his story. We sit down, we talk about all of it, from his bumpy upbringing to his years in improv comedy, and how a Hollywood rejection opened the door to co-creating Ted Lasso. It's an open Open funny conversation about perseverance, creativity, and the winding road that brought him right here. We hope you'll join us for the drink, listen, and follow wherever you get your podcasts.

Tonight on Dateline, Mystery in Paradise, a classic Who Done It along
Florida's picturesque Gulf Coast. It's an unusual case from the beginning. It's almost like an Agatha Christie mystery. There's only three people there, and one of them is dead. The killer has to be one of the other two.
Oh
non frère ! I don't think she's breathing. It was heartbreaking. It was absolutely heartbreaking. They believed that Diane was both smothered and strangled.
There's some broken glasses at the bottom of the bed and a shoe three small spots of blood on her leg. You've got the son and you've got the stepfather. Each is accusing the other of the crime. Yes. I grabbed him, I said, stop. And he throws me to the
ground and takes off running. He's very good at making up stories, but that's not true.
No one on our side of the family had any
doubt.
His story is all lies. I didn't do it.
It was just such a battle. Both sides are coming, guns blazing.
You may have the wrong guy in jail here.
Hier's Dennis Murphy with True Lives.
Bill Kine knew he was a lucky man. The single dad with five kids was getting a second chance at love. She was the most wonderful lady I've ever met. He first set eyes on her at a nail salon, a business she ran with her twin sister. And they're standing in front of this big neon sign that says nails. And uh I says, uh do you all do nails here? And they just looked at the sign and then looked at me and uh said uh yeah. Her name was Diane, a vivacious blonde with a ready smile.
He saw Diane through the window, so uh the next weekend I went to get my nails done.
Rebecca Kine is Bill's youngest child.
Gave him an excuse to meet her.
Rebecca, you were being used as bait. Do you realize this now looking back?
Oh, I I was fully aware at the time.
It was a light moment and just what Bill needed. Only eight months earlier, he'd become a widower. My wife, Krista, she fell in the middle of the night. They say she hit her head and she drowned in the pool. I pulled her out of the pool Easter Sunday morning in 2000. I pretty much fell apart. There I was a single dad. Trying to raise them and you know, keep the family going.
He loved my mom. He loved her to the moon and back. And he lost her. He was just lonely and you could see it in him. And my brothers were definitely egging him on to get out and meet somebody.
And in Diane,
Bill met somebody special. Diane comes into the picture and he has this beautiful woman and now she's taking care of him. He was in love with her. He needed that. He needed her.
She was actually what I consider my dream girl. Blonde hair, blue eyes, and uh just a beautiful person inside and out. She had just a big heart and she would reach out to family and friends, anyone who was in trouble. They could always count on her. And the person who counted on her
most was her son, Kevin. An only child.
How did the competing 911 calls shape the investigation?
I was actually through my whole childhood was raised by my nana. Now my mom, she worked full time and was single parent.
Kevin could be a handful, but he was always a bit of a mama's boy, and Diane doted
