Dateline is going for the gold! They’re throwing heavy discs and pommel horsing their way to the podium! So who knows better than Keith Morrison, that when an Olympic bronze medal shot putter is killed by an elusive prowler in his own California backyard, there might be more to the story. This case involves dirty laundry (both the literal and the metaphorical kind), a grandfather clock with secrets and a verdict that could shock you. If we recap Dateline’s THE HOMETOWN HERO & THE HOMECOMING QUEEN, would you still call us Super(wo)man?
