Fans can catch another repeat, “The Black Box,” on Saturday, July 6 at 10/9c p.m. on NBC. "When a South Carolina coroner arrives at the scene of a car accident to find his friend deceased, he notices some unusual markings on her face and begins to think her death looks suspicious," the episode's synopsis reads.

Where can I watch old episodes of Dateline?
Those hoping to get their true crime fix when the show isn't airing new episodes can stream previous episodes of Dateline on Peacock. The streaming service has a large backlog of episodes that are available now for fans to peruse at their leisure.
For decades, Dateline has featured in-depth reporting, compelling mysteries and unexpected twists and turns that keep viewers guessing as they try to unravel each case from the comfort of their couch.
In “Dark Intentions,” the sinister deeds of a serial rapist and murderer known as the Bathtub Killer are revealed as correspondent Andrea Canning talks with investigators and surviving victims of the terrifying predator. The Bathtub Killer targeted unsuspecting women in the Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington area of Texas in the 1990s before advances in forensics helped put him away.
In “The Girl With the Hibiscus Tattoo,” a violent man poses as a photographer using a calculated ruse to lure his victims by claiming to be looking for a beautiful woman to cast in the latest blockbuster movie. One by one, Hollywood hopefuls fall into his devious trap. Although many lived to tell about their encounter, Kristi Johnson would not.
In “If These Walls Could Talk,” beloved mother Susann Sills was mysteriously found dead at the bottom of the stairs of her San Clemente, California home. Although it initially seemed like nothing more than a tragic accident, a closer examination of the crime scene, and a sense by Sills’ family that something just didn’t feel right, would lead authorities to expose a dark secret.
