Dateline NBC “Under the Bay Bridge” February 7 2025 Recap & Preview

This Friday, February 7, 2025, at 9:00 PM ET/8:00 PM CT, Dateline NBC airs an all-new two-hour report on the shocking murder of tech titan Bob Lee. The investigation into his death made headlines worldwide, and Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz speaks exclusively to key figures involved in the case, including family, friends, attorneys, and police, to uncover new details about this complex and high-profile murder.

In “Under the Bay Bridge”, San Francisco Police Sergeant Brent Dittmer reveals that his team deliberately chose not to publicly challenge online theories about Lee’s murder, including the idea that he was a victim of a robbery gone wrong. Dittmer explains, “If that’s the story people are gonna run with, that is an advantage for us because the people who are responsible, we don’t want to know what we know.” He further explains how allowing the public to believe one theory helped the police team quietly continue their investigation without revealing too much to those responsible.

Lee’s former wife also speaks out in the episode, explaining why she found it hard to believe that Bob was simply robbed. She says, “Had Bob been approached by someone that was trying to mug him, he would’ve given him, them, the shirt off his back, his wallet, his keys, his clothes. He would’ve said, ‘Hey, man, let me buy you a meal. Please don’t hurt me.’”

This Dateline NBC investigation offers an in-depth look at the murder of Bob Lee, including the challenges investigators faced, the emotional toll on those closest to him, and the surprising details that emerged throughout the case.
