“People lie to you all the time in these interviews,” Morrison said. Of everything, what stuck out to him most was how honest and detailed Ramos’ story was. In the interview, Morrison recounted how he and a producer went to interview Ramos, with their talk lasting over four hours.

Morrison is set to revisit the case again on the upcoming Dateline podcast series, The Seduction. Tragic as the events were, they made for good TV. In a story every bit as wild as an episode of Murder, She Wrote, Ramos and his lover Patty Presba worked together to murder Presba’s husband, staging the death like an accident with all sorts of unhinged complications and betrayals. One person of interest was Jaime Ramos, a convicted murderer who Morrison had interviewed behind bars back in 2010. In particular, he talked about some of the unusual characters he met in his work. As he approaches nearly 30 years in the role, the correspondent sat down with Vanity Fair to discuss his career. Many of the criminals Morrison has interviewed have given ‘extraordinary’ excuses for their actionsįor many, Keith Morrison is best known for his work on Dateline.

A year after his hiring, he reported on the Tiananmen Square protests, contributing to various documentaries and articles about it after the fact. He jumped from station to station for the next few years, his next major reporting achievements coming when he joined NBC in 1988.
