"Solved" on ID network features Dana Satterfield case

This was on last night on ID channel and wondered if anyone else caught it. It revealed that Jonathan Vick was a suspect immediately following the murder (due to his vehicle being a match) but the cops were unable to talk to him because he was minor and his parents refused. So they couldn't (or didn't) pursue it much after that. I don't know if this had ever been revealed before (I know UM never mentioned it) but I was outraged it took 10 yrs to determine it was him afterall! The show also said he has a missing fiancee that he is a suspect in her disappearance as well. Crazy! Anyone else catch this?

I didn't see it, because I currently don't have access to the ID network (although I have seen Solved before on TLC, where it has occasionally aired). The Dana Satterfield murder case has also been featured in a Forensic Files episode titled "Driven to Silence."

There have been several UM cases in which it was later brought to light that the person charged had been a suspect from the very beginning. It is very common for such information to be kept from the press, especially when it's an ongoing investigation and at the point where there's too little evidence to even justify publicly declaring someone a suspect.

I'm watching Solved on Netflix right now (Season 2, Episode 5, A Test Of Time). They said her name and I immediately thought of UM. I'm only a few minutes in, but it's amazing to hear details of the murder. UM doesn't give details to how she was killed, Solved even shows crime scene photos and a computer layout on how she was found.


This is the 3rd episode in a row where I've known the story and details of the murder (how it was committed, who did it, how, etc). I'm addicted to crime shows :p
