## Resource

Andrea Canning joins Blayne Alexander to discuss her episode, “The Grudge,” the story of federal judge Esther Salas, whose family was attacked at their New Jersey home in 2020 by a gunman posing as a delivery driver. Salas’s husband was seriously injured and their only child, Daniel, was killed. Andrea and Blayne break down the investigation that linked the killer to the murder of California men’s rights advocate Marc Angelucci just days earlier, and the chilling motive investigators uncovered. Andrea shares an extra clip from a later conversation with Judge Salas about grief and parenting. Plus, we answer your questions from social media. Have a question for Talking Dateline?
