In the quiet aftermath of a holiday tragedy, a community grapples with a loss that seems both senseless and ordained. Mortal Sin, presented by NBC News, unravels the haunting case of Dawn and Nick Hacheney, a couple whose devout life within their church presented a picture of spiritual perfection. That image shattered when Dawn died in a fire, leaving her pastor husband and congregation in mourning. But as this story unfolds, a disturbing layer of prophecy and hidden motives begins to surface. This isn't just a true crime narrative; it's an intimate exploration of the fractures beneath a facade of faith, where trust is weaponized and the search for truth becomes a moral excavation. Guided by the seasoned reporting of Dateline's Josh Mankiewicz, each episode pulls you deeper into a tangled web of relationships, belief, and devastating betrayal. You'll hear firsthand accounts and meticulous reporting that piece together a puzzle of sex, lies, and ultimately, murder. The Mortal Sin podcast invites you to sit with the uncomfortable questions that arise when darkness infiltrates a place meant for light, examining how far some will go to conceal their secrets.
