'Dateline' episode 'Where are the children?' is an unsolved mystery

The DATELINE (NBC) episode called, "Where are the Children?" aired Friday night (2/14/2020) at 9/8 p.m. It was reported by Keith Morrison. In the overnight TV ratings. It garnered 4.17 million TV viewers overall. It reached 0.6 million TV viewers in the all important 18 to 49 adult demographic. "Whose line is it anyway?" (ABC) grabbed 0.63 overall & 2.0 with adults. "Blue Bloods" (CBS) 7.45 overall & 0.7 with adults.

"Where are the children?"

First - I usually don't give my opinion on these stories, but this really is a "mystery." Two children went missing in the state of Idaho back in September of 2019. Lori Vallow is their mother and she will not tell anyone where they are. She had married a new husband Chad Daybell and they live in Hawaii. She has not reported them missing and the couple have recently been questioned by police. As this story unfolded on "Dateline." Another person has died connected to Lori. 

Second - The children have not been heard from and they haven't talked to their grandparents, friends or relatives. When "Dateline" tracked Lori down. The kids were not with her. She has expressed some cult-like behavior too. What is going on?

Below is the video where "Dateline" tracked down Lori and her husband. 

(It looks like the episode will not air on the official online website. Each year - the network airs a special episode in prime-time and then only with On-Demand viewers.).

UPDATE: NBC has put up this episode online at the official website. Check it out.!!!

I was in the middle of watching this episode, "Where are the Children?", with Xfinity OnDemand, when all of a sudden it stopped streaming and is no longer showing in the list of available episodes, even after refreshing the show's OnDemand page for an hour+. It seems to have been officially pulled around midnight CST. I wish the streaming service would've recognized that I was viewing it, and simply allowed me to finish. What an anti-climatic bummer.
