Every closet on Dateline has some secrets in it, but none so big as in BEHIND THE CLOSET DOOR. When a loving mother and librarian is found murdered in her closet by her mild mannered Home Depot engineer geologist boyfriend, police think they’ve got their killer. But it’s not until several embarrassingly awkward sting operations, a dedicated son, and a prison straight out of Les Mis that it’s revealed that the whole theory could be a giant mistake by police! Thank goodness we have Josh Mankiewicz on the case, because he’s putting on his floaties and is plunging straight into the deep end of this mystery. Will his tweets give us a hint to the real answer? Do you think the boyfriend was involved? Did you crumble crackers on the grilled chicken gyro? Does Kimberly live in an actual shoe box? Who had the last A & W Root Beer? The answers all lie BEHIND THE CLOSET DOOR.
Official Description from NBCU: After a mother is found murdered in her Virginia home, her son embarks on a 20-year quest for justice that leads him down a dark and twisted path. Josh Mankiewicz reports.
