So so so sad-what a botched investigation

If you want to listen to how lazy stupid cops do things this podcast is a must because the cops in this show are some of the dumbest, laziest pieces of garbage ever

Did the step dad do it? I def think these cops need to start over from the beginning. New detectives, new attorneys, new look on the evidence. That boyfriend def didn’t do it.

Investigate the stepdad!!

Short review, Keith Morrison is the last of the great American journalists. He doesn’t shy away from tough questions and his experience in the field is unparalleled. An American gem.

Paid paid too expensive

Keith went after the people who needed their pride challenged and it was so satisfying. He wasn’t letting anyone get away with nonsense. Fantastic interviewing and narration for such a heavy and heartbreaking case.

The narration was great. This story is just so sad and frustrating. The now "Captain Frost" needs an ego check. The neighbor suspect was definitely involved but I'm not sure that he's the only player. Something bothers me about that step dad. The fact that Kevin's family will never get reimbursed for what they were put through is such a travesty. It's a total systemic failure and it could happen to anyone. And there will most likely never be any justice for that poor girl unless there's a deathbed confession by someone involved.

It’s sad, scary, heart wrenching, infuriating, suspenseful, and unbelievable (some multiple times and not in that order). How people can continue to defend their horrid behavior and be promoted despite the obviousness in watching it on video is just beyond me…. Well done Mr. Morrison, well done.

Step Dad did it.

Just kidding but I’d say he’s lacking common sense. Maybe some understanding of the United States constitution

The story is interesting and told in a suspenseful way. Keith Morrison is great as always. I felt that the length was good. Not too long, not too short.

My heart aches for Nona and all the pain she endured in her life. A father who was a predator, a mother who chose a man who wouldn’t allow this girl to have her animals and was so controlling that she had no choice but to move out. A murderer who was a known predator and a detective whose ego was more important than the truth.

Thank you for telling this story. So scary that Detective Frost is still a working officer. This is totally a show of some should not be in law enforcement. Shame on all that allowed him to proceed with this career. Just goes to show everyone you have to keep the fight!!

It’s a good story and told well, but I’m still not finished because the way these cops are trying to railroad this poor kid is so frustrating I had to take a break!!!!

Keith is a great narrator and the sound affects and. Every thing are so good thank you!

I can't believe I listened to this for almost 5 hours and no resolution. SUPER frustrating.

Well that was unexpected. Wow what a wild ride. Keith was outstanding. I’ll just say this - If you haven’t heard the updates to the episode years ago, you have no clue how much there is to the rest of story - my mind is still reeling. Well worth rhe listen! Unexpectedly shocking. And you’ll find you love Keith Morrison even more for his role.

This poor girl dies and I have to listen to the POV of this boyfriend, who makes it all about him. No, thank you.

Annoying voice and cadence, awkward pauses frequent bland and cliche metaphors, and way, way too much taken creative license describing scenes, thoughts, motives. I listened to all of the episodes, more out of laziness than being on the edge of my seat. The story as a whole, however, is compelling and interesting, thus the two stars.

Keith Morrison never disappoints to expose the truth! I will never go to Arkansas! what a bunch of backward inbred illogical idiots! Kevin you’d better get wise get out of that hick town full of brainless people and take your family with you. Gary Dune definitely killed Nona and he will kill again as long as Frost, King of the idiots is running the show! Nona’s stepdad is probably coming after you one day! He never said you were innocent. I think he killed his first wife and Nona’s desperate lonely mom is his next victim! Kevin you and your family should write a book about your experience and call it, Surrrounded by Idiots, bestseller, I’d buy it!

I’m only 5 minutes into the second edition Isolde and I already have zero Trust for her step dad. He’s a controlling slime ball and sadly the mom doesn’t seem smart enough to recognize. I would never be alone with that man. I’ll keep listening but it’s him in my opinion

can somebody please explain to me any actual evidence against kevin ?? … at all ? it shocks me that her parents can talk about how broken our judicial system is … i agree but in the sense that kevin was hounded and the ONLY suspect with nothing more than a palm print. this investigation was horrible.

With the amount of technology and resources available how do things like this happen? So infuriating. Any decent crime junkie could have done a better job with this case than the police did.

I devoured this series while driving and regularly yelled at the podcast. The police department and prosecutors in this case were so stunningly incompetent that it’s embarrassing to lawyers and cops everywhere. The collective IQ of all involved barely exceeded room temperature. If you’re looking for a podcast to increase your blood pressure and answer the question, “Are there reallyyyyy terrible cops out there?” this is the show for you.

I found it incredible how one person’s incompetence and idiotic stubbornness (detective frost) literally ruined people’s lives. He seems to be in the completely wrong line of work, what happened to following the evidence? Did he even go to police school? It was so frustrating to hear this story. My heart goes out to Kevin jones and his family I hope they can recover from this.

I listened to this because I grew up in Dover but had moved away before this happened. I thought it was interesting for that reason but thought the tone was distasteful. Some of the cheesy humor / puns felt out of place for such a tragic loss of life and horribly conducted investigation. Disappointed in dateline for that reason.

I absolutely LOVE Keith Morrison! He is an amazing reporter & host. Anything with Keith Morrison is bound to attract your attention. Another amazing podcast from Dateline!

The entire series is worth a listen just so you can have context for when the defense attorney is challenged “off camera” - I won’t spoil it for you but sufficed to say, that is what hard hitting journalism sounds like.

This case is so infuriating on so many levels, it’s unreal. The mom, the investigators/investigation, the jurors.. everything about it was pathetically handled. And don’t even get me started on the step dad. So sad and so frustrating

Soooooooo, it was the stepdad…right?

the step dad bothers me, he's known her for less time than the boyfriend (kevin jones) and they let a pervert get away with rape and murder. the police officers are infuriating in the first few episodes. it breaks my heart when they say kevin jones came out of this as a grown man, not a kid anymore and without that collage style and sense. he was 19-20 years old and shouldn't be having to go through this terrible process. Frost and the other investigators ignored all evidence, and instead of asking Kevin they told him what happened. it's terrible. i have been very interested in this story and im sad to let it go knowing all these details. i loved these episodes and i think its a good listen.

Kinda took the wind out, made a preparatory scenario turned to real life and those implications. I couldn’t imagine much worse. My children mean more to me than my own life. So no. No way no how. Keith though! & NBC Producers -excellent job! Love and share! Kellye R. CenLAw Podcast

This story breaks my heart. The ineptitude of the investigators is astonishing then again the same state botched the Memphis 3 investigation 30 years ago. Thankfully the boyfriend was acquitted. The jurors are infuriating.

This was a sad case on so many levels.. Frost and Dipert are horrible men! This poor kid Jones gets shafted and was innocent and the perv Dunn that was guilty got away with it. I could listen to Morrison narrate the phone book! He’s phenomenal!

I’m hate to say this about people that lost someone, but listening to the mom and step dad’s ignorance blows my mind away.

Talk about failing up!! How does and incompetent detective become captain?!

Frost got promoted when he should be in prison. Smh

I always look forward to the multi-episode dateline stories. Felt likedateline followed their usual formula of storytelling, but fell short. Most unsatisfying when there is no resolve at the end, it’s the only reason I listen to dateline.

I don’t know how anyone affiliated with this case, or even one having listened to the podcast could believe that anyone other than Gary Dunn killed Nona. The detective in charge should be ashamed of himself letting his own pride decide what he would or would not pursue in this case. If let out of prison, Dunn will continue to prey on women. So frustrating when justice can’t be served because of incompetence.

After years of listening to the Dateline pod, the one takeaway is how absolutely inept and incapable police are. They truly are useless and cause more harm than good in most investigations. Also, the step dad, Duane, is a comical stereotype of man; controlling and a moron at the same time… dangerous combination. Great show and well done, once again.

This is such a sad story. Because of the pride of that detective justice wont be severed for that poor woman and he loved ones. Shame of that detective that has let his pride get in the way of doing the right thing.

Where was the stepdad that morning? He is a controlling, selfish psychopath and the mom is weird too! WHO HAS 10 CATS!?!

So well done. What an infuriating case on so many levels.

I know there are bigger issues but that step dad is a nut bag! Her mom is a weirdo! If some man told me our first date would me cleaning out his refrigerator, there would a whole new podcast I can tell you that!

This step dad is a MAGA wet dream… what a tool

How is Mark Frost still a police officer? The miscarriage of Justice is incomprehensible, all at the hands of one person who allowed so many lives to be destroyed - for what reason? This is just another nail in the coffin of my trust in our policing and judicial system. Way too many bad actors, and they just keep getting promoted. It’s good yo see daylight shed on the incompetence of a corrupt police department and so very sad for all the victims here.

Get ready to be infuriated. Tragic. A young life sniffed out. Two families’ lives destroyed. What is justice? I didn’t do anything else but listen straight through. Keith Morrison is bold and honest in his reporting. This is very affecting. Be warned. It’s not gruesome as far as true crime but it’s deeply sad and angering.

This is very hard to listen to. These officers and most of the people who believed them are so uneducated and down right ignorant. No sign of common sense in any of them. I just can barely believe how ridiculous the whole thing was. Unfortunately the victim does not get justice because these police are idiots.

What in the world this is an amazing podcast this needs a Grammy award or nomination ❤️❤️❤️
