Thats the focus of tonights angle. I wonder what the leaders of the Chinese Communist parties think about the tiktok debate in the United States. After brilliantly deploying a propaganda and spying operation inside the u. S. , they must be pleasantly surprised to see bipartisan support to help them protect it. Yes.

Its like going to the beach for us, its just a vacation. When caroline was a high school freshman, and terrified of math class, if the weather was good, her decision was made. Go right to the creek, and Bypass School altogether. Tell me about that afternoon at

A lovers triangle, a circle of friends. Was one of them a killer . This was planned. This was on purpose. How could you do something so horrific . Hello, and welcome to dateline. Highschoolers erika freeman, pedro, and christin aguilar. Were like three peas in a pod. After graduation, they even picked colleges in the same city. Then, one of them went missing. Last seen in a dangerous area of town. As the hours pass, the mystery deepened. Then, investigators uncovered a hidden truth. One they believed might be a motive for murder.
