Dateline will put Brandon Boudreaux's shooting back in front of a national audience on Friday, Oct. 23 at 9 p.m. ET, when NBC airs "Blindsided," the fifth episode of season 35. Keith Morrison is the primary correspondent for the hour, which returns to the case after Boudreaux was fired on while driving home in Gilbert, Arizona.
For viewers looking for the episode now, the airing on NBC is the live moment to catch it first, and Peacock offers access to a large library of Dateline episodes on demand. A previous dispute between Fubo TV and NBC has also been resolved, giving another path to the broadcast for viewers who use that service.
The reason Boudreaux's case still draws attention is not just that the shooter missed his head by inches. The investigation later tied the shooting to the Doomsday Cult series of murders, turning what looked like a single roadside attack into part of a much larger true-crime story involving Lori Vallow and the Doomsday Cult. That connection is what gives "Blindsided" its weight: the case did not stay isolated, even though the gunfire on that day could easily have ended there.
Dateline's timing matters because this is the point when the case gets renewed exposure, not a recap from the past. "Blindsided" is scheduled for Oct. 23, and the episode's value is in showing how one missed shot became linked to a broader investigation that still hangs over the story. For anyone following the case, the next thing to watch for is the episode itself, because that is where the known pieces of the investigation are being brought together again.
