On Friday, Nov. 4, NBC News Dateline's Keith Morrison will report on the fatal two-car crash on U.S. 93 that killed Erin Thompson and Caden Odell on March 19, 2009.

Justine Winter was convicted of two counts of deliberate homicide in the death of the pregnant mother and her son. Prosecutors claimed text messages from Winter's cell phone indicated she intended to commit suicide by running her car head-on into another vehicle.

Winter is now in the Montana's Women Prison. Viewers of the hour-long show will hear directly from Winter as she tries to explain what might have happened that night and shares her words for the victims' family.
