NEW YORK – True crime fans can tune into NBC tonight at 9/8c for a chilling episode of “Dateline” focusing on the decades-old disappearance of 12-year-old Jonelle Renee Matthews from Greeley, Colorado. Correspondent Dennis Murphy revisits the case, which remained a mystery for 34 years after Jonelle vanished just before Christmas in 1984. Her remains were eventually discovered, leading detectives to a suspect whose behavior raised alarming questions.
The episode, titled “Footprints in the Snow” from Season 31, features interviews with Jonelle’s parents, Jim and Gloria Matthews, as well as the detectives, Weld County D.A., and journalists who followed the case.
