NBC’s venerable true crime stalwart Dateline returns this Sunday with a two-hour deep dive into the perplexing murder of Rob Limon. “Deadly Mirage,” a case previously explored in the podcast of the same name, digs into the tangled web of sex, faith, and fractured family ties that surrounded Limon’s death.
The podcast, a #1 hit for Dateline, offered a glimpse into the investigation, but this Sunday’s broadcast will likely present new information or interviews not included in the audio version. For fans of the podcast, it’s a chance to revisit the case with fresh eyes. For newcomers, it’s an introduction to a story that will likely leave them questioning everything they thought they knew about the people involved.
Dateline, with its straightforward approach and meticulous attention to detail, is often at its best when dissecting cases like this. The Limon murder, with its blend of suburban normalcy and hidden desires, is tailor-made for the Dateline treatment. Expect somber narration, dramatic reenactments, and slow-burn storytelling.
