Feb. 17: Interview with Aretha Franklin, 'Mystery at Moon Palace'

On the eve of Whitney Houston’s funeral, more of Al Roker’s “Today” interview with Aretha Franklin, will air on “Dateline” at 10p/9c. Performing at Houston’s memorial tomorrow, Franklin talks to Roker exclusively about when she first met Houston, who she affectionately called Nippy, where she was when she found out that the legendary singer had passed and what she believes Houston’s legacy will be. Viewers will also see exclusive footage of Houston at the Whitney E. Houston Academy of Creative and Performing Arts in 1997 when the school was named in her honor.

And after the interview, Natalie Morales will report on Hollywood TV producer Bruce Beresford-Redman and his wife Monica who were vacationing with their family at a luxury resort in Cancun Mexico in April 2010. But when Monica was later found dead on the hotel property, Mexican investigators now had a murder mystery on their hands...and a primary suspect, her husband.

Join us for an all-new Dateline Friday beginning at 10pm/9c.

Where are the camera's? Wouldn't the resort, "Moon Palace" have security cameras for safety?

    Maybe her husband didn't kill her in her room? He probably put the kids to bed then came in and out several (11) times to check on them and in the meantime he has Monica outside of the room (probably partying), which makes it easier to drag her to the sewer? I wouldn't be suprised if this so-called "caring husband" of hers enticed her to a part of the resort (aka next to the sewer area) to make out or get it on in an attempt to catch her off guard and have easy access to dispose of the body.
