I was reading the post on Clarence Roberts and it was noted how LIFETIME hasn't aired that episode in a long time. Here are some thoughts and questions I've jotted down - If anyone has anything to contribute by all means please do :)
This is one of the true mysteries of LIFETIME. They seem to air their episodes in some sort of weird rotation and over the past two years they have basically repeated the same stretch of episodes from start to finish and then they begin again.
Most of these episodes come from the years 1990-1994, but I've also seen a few episodes from 1989 scattered in along with the two Stack specials that they air from 1987.
However they haven't aired their "block" of 1988 episodes since April of 2005 which if you look at the episode guide includes the following shows:
October 12, 1988
October 26, 1988
November 2, 1988
November 9, 1988
December 14, 1988
January 4, 1989
Those six episodes (some heavily re-editted by "Lifetime") have not been aired since April of 2005.
Also there are quite a few episodes of UM which have been MIA the past few years and were not broadcast at all while I was trying to compile my "Unsurpassed Mysteries" videos in 2005. Does anyone know if UM has broadcasted any of these over the past year or so:
"Lifetime Edit of November 23, 1988" - The "Lifetime" edit of this I believe omits the Kurt Sova segment as well as a segment on Exotrtion in Lancaster, Californina and adds the Matthew Chase segment which was not part of the original broadcast.
"Lifetime Edit of January 18, 1989" - The "Lifetime" edit of this omits Jeremy Bright (which is part of another episode entirely) as well as a segment on Rogest Caine.
"March 15, 1989" (This is the episode which features the Lisa Marie Kimmell case. It was broadcasted at some point because I have a copy of it on tape prior to the case being solved. I believe Sheila Kimmell mentioned on these boards that she asked "Unsolved Mysteries" to either update the case or stop showing it. They did update the case but as part of one of their 2001/2002 re-edits. I have not seen the segment aired in its original format in a long time - Also included in this episode I believe was a case of a strange Louisiana couple who committed murder many years ago. Their daughter was interviewed on the segment and believed her parents were guilty)
Various segments from 1988/1989 broadcasted on "Lifetime" in the past but not recently:
Segments detail a U.S. airman’s claim of a frightening encounter with a UFO on Cape Cod in the 1960’s, and include a discussion of genetic experimentation said to involve non-Earthlings. (This I believe is the case of a black US airman who was abducted at a phone booth while trying to get in contact with his base. He said he experienced "Lost time")
Segment on a murdered Texas woman whose life insurance policy is the source of a family dispute (This is a believe the case of Jean Tovera)
Michael Wade Mohan (Bank Robber - Identified by Justin as the segment featuring a helicopter chase)
Segment on a young ballet dancer who drowned and had a life after death experience. Segment also included a man whose car collasped on him and he had a similar experience. One notable quote he made was "I don't care if you believe me or not, thats fine - this really happened"
"Lost Loves" segment on I believe three children now grown who had an abusive childhood. In the segment the visited their childhood home. The point of the segment was they were looking for another sibling I believe.
Maria Armstrong (Mentally disturbed woman murders her boyfriend and then vanishes to an Indian reservation)
Anyone who wants to contribute to this by identifying segments or in which episodes they appear is again welcome to :)
