Does everyone else from time to time see a case on UM they just instantly become interested with?
I often find myself doing internet searches on victims/witnesses/suspects names to see if there are any updates, or a case has been solved. (In fact it's how I found this forum).
I go through the UMwiki site, but I sometimes wonder if it's even close to up to date.
Anyway some cases that over time have interested me are:
* The case of the teenage girl who wakes up in her room not knowing who she is or what has happened. She hits redial on the phone with her nose/face (she's tied up) and ends up getting in contact with her mum who comes home and with the police find her tied up in her room. She doesn't know who her mum is, or who she is etc. Eventually she begins having fits where pieces of her memory return and she recalls who she is, who people are, what happened to her that day.
Apparently it's still unsolved, but the police seem to think she's full of crap basically and is covering her ass on something else. I personally believe her, it seems a ridiculous length to go t keep something quite unless she'd face serious jail time for it, and I just can't see how this story helps her cover anything to that extent.
* Anthonette Cayideo (Name is spelt wrong, surely). It's the case that rbought me here actually and I've already forgot the spelling of her name... Shameful.
Anyway, it's the case of a girl abducted from her home in 1986 near a reservation type city. the girl supposedly calls the police a year later telling them her name and city she's currently in before a man is heard asking her "who said you could use the phone?" and the phone being hung up. (Personally i hear a womans voice in that clip, but maybe it's not the real tape). There is years later a supposed sighting of her in a resturant where she tries to subtly get the attention of her waitress and ends up leaving a note under her plate that says "Help me, call the police!".
I saw a thread on this, where several people seemed t think it was the mother somehow, but I don't really buy those theories currently.
* The case of a woman who is terrorised by someone for years, the police decide she's making it all up (doing things to herself). She eventually goes missing for weeks before being found dead. The police claim it was suicide despite the fact she's got a nylon stocking tied tight on her head, and her hands and feet tied behind her back with a lot of drugs in her system... I couldn't tie myself up like that at the best of times, let alone on drugs and dying.
* There's a case I can't remember well at all, I recall seeing it when I was younger... probably back around the late 90s. I remember being interested by it, but now all I recall is something to do with a highway, where someone is driving and another car manages to get them to pull over and then ends up shooting them... it may have been a serial killing I think, but I can't recall.
* The unibomber/Zodiac killer connection. I'd read about that elsewhere before and after, and it's something I think is quite likely true.
* One about a serial killer (new bedford highway killer IIRC). I'd read about him on wikipedia not long before seeing this case, and the UM segment focused on a woman who managed to survive an attack they think was by the killer. She was pregnant and stopped to get a drink on her way home, when a man pulled up beside her. He came over to her car opened the door and held a knife to her.
She managed to run away but he caught up fairly quickly and stabbed her many times until she stayed still, and he took off as she was trying to get bakc to her feet. she got in her car amaingly and stated driving quickly to her friends to get help.
She crazily ends up behind the guy who just tried to kill her, but she pulls off into her friends house for help, and as the friend comes out to her on the porch the killer comes back around, stops out the front, looking at them, and then takes off.
So what are some of the ones that interest others? Why? Are there any updates on the ones I've mentioned that you know of?
