Dateline NBC “Raising the Dead” November 21 2025 Recap & Preview

NBC’s Dateline presents a haunting new episode titled Raising the Dead this Friday, November 21 at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT. Reported by Keith Morrison, the one-hour broadcast investigates the brutal 1992 double homicide of Tanna Togstad and Tim Mumbrue in rural Wisconsin—a mystery that remained unsolved for three decades until an unexpected tip reopened the case.

In a quiet farmhouse near Weyauwega, Wisconsin, Tanna, her boyfriend Tim, and her dog were all found stabbed to death, shocking the close-knit community. For years, the case went cold, with investigators unable to pin down a suspect despite following numerous leads. Then, nearly 30 years later, the daughter of one of the original suspects came forward with a revelation that breathed new life into the case.

Dateline’s coverage includes exclusive interviews with the victims’ family and friends, who recount the pain of losing their loved ones and the long wait for justice. The episode also features the voices of law enforcement who never gave up: Retired Chief Deputy Al Kraeger, Retired Agent Mike Sasse, and Detective Captain Nick Traeger walk viewers through the breakthrough moment and the path that led to trial.

As Morrison returns to the rural landscapes where the story began, Raising the Dead revisits a crime that once faded into memory—until a new generation helped expose the truth hidden for decades.

Tune in Friday night on NBC, with streaming available the next day on Peacock.
