(NBC) — Friday on “Dateline,” Chacey Poynter calls 911 to report her husband, Bob, has been shot on a country road in Texas and the dramatic police footage from the scene could end up being key in the investigation.
Here is a preview of Josh Mankiewicz’s report:
Bob married young and had two kids. After 19 years, that marriage fell apart, expensively. Then Bob met Chacey Morman who was much younger.
CANDY HABERSACK: I think it was an infatuation and he thought it was somebody 22 years old, you know, li– liking him and he’s in his 40s, you know. And–
JOSH MANKIEWICZ: A fling.
CANDY HABERSACK: A fling, basically, yeah.
It wasn’t a fling. Bob married Chacey.
