this is nothing but green lights. and it s not good. she was with him that night, found bruise, and wrapped in duct date. he said if you say anything, i ll kill you. so what was the motive was it money or maybe revenge? there was a thick file of suspects. he could definitely have a laundry list of people who would want to kill him. but was his killer and enemy or a friend? those could be fighting worse for somebody. pretty strong words i can see where someone could be upset. and the mystery that haunts a small southern town is a killer still walking free. i would say tiktok, you re coming. and we re not giving up. hello and welcome to dateline. melvin roberts was a vip in his tight-knit community, and julia phillips was the light of his life. the couple seemed inseparable, then, a murder shattered the love affair and exposed the dark underbelly of a zip code, where it s considered polite to smile at your friends and your enemies. here is andrea campaig

meanwhile, in the federal election case, special counsel jack smith is pushing back against trump s attempt to push the trial to april 2026. and a new court filing, smith writes that with the 90 public its right to a speedy trial. both sides were said to me here on the issue next monday. also following the latest on another key figure in trump s legal battles. abc news reports that his former chief of staff mark meadows told jack smith and is investigators that he could not recall trump ever discussing the classifying broad sense of classified materials before leaving the white house. former vice president mike pence also told abc that he was not aware of any broad based effort to declassify documents. comments from pence and mark meadows underlines trump s main defense in the classified documents case. if there were such an order, it s impossible to imagine that neither his chief of staff nor his vice president would know about it. one of them, if not all of them would cer
