North Carolina mom allegedly poisons family. Singer D4vd arrested. Plus, sexual assault awareness.

This episode of Dateline True Crime Weekly covers three major true crime stories. First, the investigation into Gudrun Kasper Leinenkugel, a North Carolina woman accused of poisoning her daughter Lila and her daughter's boyfriend with cyanide-laced wine during a Thanksgiving dinner in 2025. Prosecutors allege she used acetonitrile—also linked to the 2007 death of a man named Michael Schmidt—suggesting a pattern of murder. Gudrun, who has a close relationship with her children, has pleaded not guilty and remains in jail without bond. Next, the case of D4VD (David Anthony Burke), a TikTok-famous singer arrested for the first-degree murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas, whose body was found in his Tesla trunk. Burke, 21, faces charges including premeditated murder, continuous sexual abuse of a minor, and body mutilation. He has pleaded not guilty, and his defense claims the evidence will prove his innocence. Finally, the episode highlights Sexual Assault Awareness Month with a powerful interview with Donna Palumba, a survivor who transformed her traumatic experience into advocacy through her organization, Jane Doe No More. She discusses the importance of victim support, education, and the long-term impact of re-victimization by authorities. The episode closes with a verdict in the Utah trial of Tracy Grist, who was found guilty on all counts for orchestrating the murder of her son-in-law.
