Is there a new Dateline on tonight, January 17, 2025?

Yes! A brand new episode of Dateline Season 33 airs tonight  — Friday, January 17 — at 9/8c on NBC.

In Friday night’s episode — titled “A Little Patch of Perfect”Dateline correspondent Keith Morrison reports on the 2018 murder of Gary Farris, a prominent attorney from Alpharetta, Georgia whose family called him “Big Daddy.” 

“After Gary ‘Big Daddy’ Farris mysteriously disappears, his family discovers his remains on their sprawling 10-acre estate,” a synopsis for the episode reads. “An investigation reveals a family deeply divided by jealousy and greed, but did one of them kill Big Daddy?”

For the episode, Morrison sits down with Farris’ sons, Chris and Scott, as well as his siblings, John and Sherry. 

“If somebody needed a loan, or more likely a gift, Gary was there with a swipe from a credit card. Now just like that, this family’s Santa Claus was gone,” Morrison says in a preview for the “A Little Patch of Perfect.”

This investigation into Limon’s murder is detailed in Dateline’s new true crime podcast, Deadly Mirage, also reported by Mankiewicz. “It’s a story about love and betrayal,” Mankiewicz says in the trailer for the six-part docuseries. “It’s about indiscretions and a string of bad choices.
