Talking Dateline: A Window of Time

Keith Morrison sits down with Blayne Alexander to discuss her episode, “A Window of Time.” When University of Georgia law student Tara Baker was found murdered inside her off-campus home, investigators scoured through a list of potential suspects, including her boyfriend Chris Melton, before the case went cold. After two decades, advanced DNA analysis of remaining evidence led investigators to her killer. Blayne talks about her connection to UGA and discusses her recent visit to the scene of the crime. She also shares an emotional, podcast-exclusive clip in which Chris Melton, now a married father of two, talks about finding love again and the place Tara still holds in his heart. Plus, Keith and Blayne answer viewer questions. Listen to the full episode of “A Window of Time” on Apple: Listen on Spotify: Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
