Viewers will likely recall Morales from her time at NBC News, where she was a regular on “Today” - serving as the show’s news reader until producers decided to eliminate that position - as well as “Dateline.” She also spent time on “Access Hollywood.” She joined CBS in 2021 to lead the afternoon roundtable show, “ The Talk,” but the intent, says Morales, was always to do work for CBS News as well. “It took finally having the right break.” “There were so many what-ifs and almosts,” says Morales. Investigators learn that the killer was rescued by a local fire chief from a snow-covered mountain pass the very same night he dumped the bodies of the two women. The case had gone cold until investigators – some of whom have been trying to solve it for years – were able to get a DNA match from evidence via a public genealogy database. On Saturday, Morales will tell viewers about an investigation into the 1982 murders of two young women, Annette Schnee, 21 and Bobbie Jo Oberholtzer, 29, near the resort ski town of Breckenridge, Colorado. “We had Natalie traipsing through the forest and the snow and out on these bitter, cold, deserted passes in Colorado, and we gave her a very simple task: Master a 40 year old case in a few weeks.” In one of her first efforts for CBS News, Morales was called upon to explore a decades-old murder in Colorado for “ 48 Hours.” “It was more like a baptism by ice,” confesses Judy Tygard, the executive producer of the long-running program. After a brief hiatus, Natalie Morales is back on the news beat.
