Talking Dateline: Young Lords of Chaos

NBC NEWS
About this episode

Keith Morrison and Josh Mankiewicz sit down to talk about Keith’s episode, “Young Lords of Chaos.’’ In 1996, a group of teens dubbed the ‘Lords of Chaos’ went on a crime spree in Fort Myers, Florida, culminating in the murder of their high school band director, Mark Schwebes. Josh and Keith discuss the choices the teens made as they fell under the spell of their charismatic ringleader, and the local reporter who found himself getting a little too close to the case. They’re also joined by the victim’s sister, Pat Schwebes-Dunbar, who shares how her life has been shaped in the 28 years since her brother’s murder.
