| 1410 :14x10 - For Better or Worse, or Poison? Also: Who Killed Imette? (Mar/04/2006) | Previous Dateline episodes investigated people who were involved in hiring hit men. From husbands trying to get rid of wives to women taking particular pleasure in imagining their husbands killed, the piece was disturbing and revealing. These were ordinary people who could be living next door, working in the adjoining cubicle, even working as a prison guard (as one woman was while trying to get an inmate to kill her husband, also a prison guard). Tonight’s report goes even deeper with an interview of a couple who was actually involved in such dark doings. A veteran Houston, Texas firefighter, married for 30 years, is caught on tape trying to murder his wife with poison. Tonight’s episode is a culmination of a year’s worth of those tapes and an interview with the man, Richard Thomas. Stay tuned for a surprise ending to this story.
Also tonight, criminology student Imette St. Guillen ended up a victim of a killer she would normally be studying and learning to profile. She walked out of a Manhattan bar and into the hands of a murderer. | |
