Friday Night 'Dateline' with Lester Holt on June 5, 2026
NBC Media Village Press Release....
Lester Holt Reports for a Special ‘Dateline’ This Friday, June 5 at 10/9 p.m.
"Friday’s all-new Dateline will go inside the Luigi Mangione investigation, revealing exclusive new details and insight in the case that continues to captivate the world. For the first time, two NYPD Major Case Squad detectives who worked on the case take Dateline through the lead-up to the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the urgent manhunt that followed."
"Retired Detective Sergeant John Griffin tells Dateline anchor Lester Holt about his first reaction to seeing the weapon used in the killing, 'It had something on the front, like a homemade suppressor or silencer-type thing.'
Asked by Holt whether that was common, Griffin responded, "No. In 25 years, I don’t think I’ve ever actually encountered a silencer before that."
"The one-hour special, entitled A Killing in Midtown, also features a member of Thompson’s inner circle speaking publicly about the case for the first time. Jeff Alter, a friend and former colleague, tells Holt about the social media reaction to Thompson’s death, 'Social media is fast and cruel, people posting, you know, smiley faces that — that somebody was murdered just — it’s just beyond me,' Alter explained.
"He added that the response was, 'really cruel,' particularly for those who knew Brian personally."
"A Killing in Midtown also features interviews with people who met Mangione while he traveled, including a pro soccer player in Thailand and a yoga teacher in Hawaii. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to the murder."
