Classic DATELINE on NBC (2008). The episode was called, "Love Lay Dying" that was narrated by Keith Morrison.
It told the story about a toxic relationship between Lesa Buchanan and Christ Koulis. He was a successful surgeon and she used to be an aspiring actress. Both were addicted to drug injections and they had a weekend of marathon sex. Some of it was caught on video-tape. She was injected with something, but we don't see him injecting her with anything. Lisa died from an overdose.
He was charged in her death (2005) who was found guilty of unlawful negligence (2007).
"Dateline" uploaded the podcast of "Love Lay Dying." Keith Morrison reports on the death of Christ Koulis (2010). He died of a massive heart attack from a drug overdose. He won an appeal with his court case, but died before any judgement.
UNSOLVED MYSTERIES - "In 2017, popular college professor Matthew Lange is rebuilding a life for himself and his son after a contentious divorce and custody battle.

DATELINE on NBC. The Podcast "Missing in America" is narrated by Josh Mankiewicz and Andrea Canning. The 6-part series posted its' final episode this week on August 23, 2022 called, "Dee Ann Warner."
"Missing in America" climbed to number #1 on the "Apple" Charts on August 5, 2022. There are 50 podcasts ranked.
I posted all 6 episodes right here on this Blog... I was "glued" to my laptop listening to all segments. What is interesting is one individual may have met foul play, "Dee Ann Warner." She was last seen sleeping on the home couch by her estranged husband.
The other 5 missing individuals had taken a "Wrong" turn and completely "Vanished." I enjoy trying to solve the unsolved mystery. But... All of these mysteries may never be solved... Where are these individuals?
MISSING IN AMERICA - "52-year-old Dee Ann Warner was last seen at the home she shared with her husband in Tecumseh, Michigan on April 25, 2021. That Sunday, one of Dee’s daughters, Rikkell Bock, stopped by her mother’s house with her husband and daughter around 9:00 a.m., but Dee was nowhere to be found."
"They reported her missing that day. Rikkell, Dee’s brother Gregg, and private investigator Billy Little talk with Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz. Dee is 5’4” and weighs 135-140 lbs. She has brown hair which, at the time of her disappearance, had blonde highlights."
SAG-AFTRA - "This month, the SAG-AFTRA National Board voted overwhelmingly to approve a successor agreement with Netflix. The agreement includes significant changes benefiting background performers and stunt coordinators, and it significantly expands SAG-AFTRA’s coverage of Spanish-language dubbing."
"SAG-AFTGA’s Ray Rodriguez and Beth Millman walk us through the details. **The views expressed by the guests are their own and not that of SAG-AFTRA. Any mention of products or services does not imply SAG-AFTRA’s endorsement."
(New Mexico Local SAG-AFTRA 2022).
"Almost a decade ago, soon after I joined the SAG-AFTRA New Mexico Local Board, I was participating in a film industry event and talking to a friend in IATSE who told me they didn't realize SAG-AFTRA had a local in New Mexico. Imagine my shock."
"When I brought this news back to my fellow board members, they too were surprised, and we all pledged then and there to make it our mission to make our presence known in the community and to spread the word: SAG-AFTRA is alive and well and living in New Mexico, and ready to take our rightful place among the industry leaders."
"We reached out to city and state film offices. We had coffee meetings. We hosted our own events and educational forums. We served as panelists and emcees for others. We sponsored festivals and conferences. We actively engaged with the New Mexico Federation of Labor and the New Mexico Film Office on issues such as “right-to-work” (for less) and film incentive legislation. We made our presence known everywhere and participated in everything. We built and solidified relationships."
"Fast forward to today. Our New Mexico Local Board leadership has a seat at the table. In fact, recently I was appointed by our Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham to serve a four-year term on the Governor’s Council on Film and Media Industries, where I will be working with other stakeholders in the community to ensure our incentives stay competitive and our industry only continues to grow."
"Our promise to you is that we will keep you informed and, whenever possible, engage you in the process and our efforts. As a member, you too can help strengthen those relationships. With this in mind, here’s a first step we all can take...."
Join your fellow SAG-AFTRA New Mexico Local members at the New Mexico Film & TV Expo Open House, hosted by IATSE Local 480.
When: Sunday, Aug. 28, noon - 5 p.m./MDT
Where: IATSE Local 480 Albuquerque Training Center, 8430 Washington Place NE (outdoors).
"The Expo is free and provides a great opportunity to meet and reconnect with colleagues and friends in the industry. In fact, SAG-AFTRA member and fellow New Mexican Jeremiah Bitsui (Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, Dark Winds, Yellowstone) will be there and the New Mexico Local will have a table — so be sure to stop by and say hello."
"There also will be food trucks and music, and I'm excited to report a demonstration movie set has even been constructed especially for the Expo that will allow spectators to watch as a short film is put together — from the casting process through filming."
"Let’s continue to work and build together. I’m looking forward to seeing you at the Expo or on the set!"
In solidarity,
Marc Comstock
SAG-AFTRA New Mexico Local President

Anne Heche won a TV Emmy Award for her portrayal of twins on the Daytime Soap "Another World." She played Vicky and Marley from 1987-1991. Many of her 75 episodes are playing on You-Tube and her fans cannot get enough in 2022. "Another World" was cancelled in 1999.
Heche went on to important movie projects during the 1990's. "Volcano" 1997 with Tommy Lee Jones. "Donnie Brasco" 1997 with Al Pacino and Johnny Depp. "Return to Paradise" 1998 with Vince Vaughn. "Six Days, Seven Nights" with Harrison Ford 1998.
The Internet was moving with lightning-speed in 1998. But - Movie studios still promoted their films with TV and Newspapers Ads... "Six Days, Seven Nights" was heavily pushed with TV advertisements before it's premiere date.... The film's production budget climbed to $70 million. It grabbed $164 million at the box office. IMO - This was Anne Heche's best performance who had great comic abilities. She and Harrison Ford had great chemistry too. RIP Miss Heche....
Below is the 1998 movie trailer of 'Six Days, Seven Nights."
