Dennis Murphy is in Mark Twain country, which on a Dateline usually means something terrible has happened in a picturesque and seemingly safe town. In GHOST RIDER a wife, mother, nurse and just all around wonderful person, Becky Bliefnick, is found murdered in her bathroom shortly after Valentine's day. In this Cheat Date with Dateline Katie is joined by Jake to discuss bow ties, bogus judicial rulings and bags, bags and more bags. It may be a classic Dateline tale of someone close to this woman has done her horribly wrong, but a few extra precious moments as well as some super extra jerkface moments will make this a story that's hard to forget. So grab a piece of toast and join us for A DATE WITH DATELINE: Survey Says- I DO (find you to be a raging jerk)!

Official Description from NBCU: After a nurse and mother of three is found fatally shot inside her Illinois home, investigators uncover security camera footage that could be key to solving the case. Dennis Murphy reports.
