"Dateline" will air a two-hour program with correspondent Keith Morrison this week about about the case of Lori and Larry Isenberg.
The special, called “Secrets in the Water,” will air on local NBC stations at 9 p.m. Friday.
Laurcene “Lori” Isenberg, 67, was sentenced to life in prison in May for the killing of her husband.
She pleaded guilty in accordance with Alford to second-degree murder.
By entering an Alford plea, Isenberg did not admit guilt but acknowledged there is enough evidence to convict her at trial.
She said her husband, Larry Isenberg, fell from the couple’s boat and drowned in Lake Coeur d’Alene on Feb. 13, 2018.
After a two-week search, Larry Isenberg’s body was recovered from the lake. An autopsy showed he died due to an overdose of Benadryl.
Lori Isenberg will spend at least 30 years in prison, at which time she will be eligible for parole.
