What Stories would you profile?

Hi grinch! Good question. A story in the recent news that I find really interesting is the case of Maura Murray. Here is a link:

http://www.dailycollegian.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2004/09/09/413fbf44caa40

It would be an ideal one to air if UM were ever to start up again.

It reminded me somewhat of the UM case with the cab driver and the guy in the turban who forced him to rob a bank. I'm not great at names. Kane and the regulars will remember the specifics.

Mostly I would like detailed updates. These brief voice overs with a little bit of text don't cut it. I'm sure they could do entire segments with fascinating updates on how cases were solved, or with additional info on cases that remain unsolved.

Also, I think there should be a remake of Resurrection Mary. Haven't heard much about her latest shindigs.

I'm not sure why but this case really bothers me. I came across it on the Doe Network. Missing persons cases are always more mysterious when more than one person disappears.

I don't think I ever heard about it before. I did a brief search and found a little bit of info. They put a new detective on the case a few years ago and he found more witnesses. Authorities think the trio left willingly from the mall, but met with foul play very soon. They have narrowed the suspect list to "less than 5."

This is the link I used: http://p069.ezboard.com/fjazzyrosefrm186 It includes five links on the case, with #3 and #4 the "new" stuff.

I would like to see the guy who broke into my car captured.

Oh yeah, and Jonathan Luna's murder.

In the past six months, someone has keyed my little Infiniti G20 all the way around back from front passenger door to front driver's door, put numerous stickers on it, stuck orange gum on it, pushed in the rear view mirrors, and now they are lining up chicken bones in X patterns atop my sunroof. That last one has been repeated three times. All of this happens late at night, 2 AM or later.

Charming, and so clever.

Maybe I'm not that original but two cases that I think of today is the disappearance of Michael Negrete and a triple teen homicide that took place in New Mexico. If you ever seen fox's short lived show "Million Dollar Mysteries" then you know of these two. Possibly.

I would want to see renewed awareness for the JonBenet Ramsey case. The murder has always intrigued me. I would love to see how UM presents the JB murder since the they now believe the intruder theory.

Also the Stephanie Hart Grizzel and Nicholas Kunselman case. They were the two Columbine High School students mysteriously murdered in 2000 at a Subway sandwich shop.

who is killing young mexican girls and americans in mexico

Oh yeah, I just remembered the story of Kenneth Trentadue. An inmate held in a federal prison in Oklahoma. He was found dead in his cell and the officials told his family he had hung himself. Yet he had massive head wounds, swollen hands... I could go on but suffice it to say he was beaten to death REALLY bad. His cell was cleaned before an investigation could take place, and his case was closed the next day. You can find more info on the web. Beware of some of the pictures out there.

I'm bumping this because the Brian Douglas Wells case has apparently been solved. I don't know the specifics but I turned on Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC a few minutes ago and he highlighted the case at the opening of the show, indicating it has been solved. He will have a segment during this show and I'm sure other programs will focus on it also.

I live right outside Erie. The police are saying they're in the "final stages" of solving the case, though they're not releasing details.

Incedentally, one woman who has been mentioned regarding the case is suing Geraldo Rivera for his portrayal of the case. She also just happens to be in jail for killing her boyfriend and keeping his body in the freezer so she could continue to collect his disability/social security/whatever checks. His body was found in the house to which Wells delivered the pizza. Not suspicious at all. :P

Edit: Another possible case could be the disappearance of a DA from near my hometown, Ray Gricar (http://www.raygricar.com/). The whole thing's just really weird, and is still a top news story in the area. Court TV brought a psychic in, but IIRC, they didn't turn up anything.

The Death of rapper Notirious B.I.G(a.k.a Biggie Smalls). I think that would be a cool case to see.

I saw that on KO too, and was wondering how I had never heard of this case! It also sounds a lot like that one case on UM with the cab driver who had a bomb strapped to him by a bank robber in a bad middle-eastern costume. The police haven't disclosed whether they think the pizza delivery man was involved. What do you guys think?

The case of the West Memphis Three would be perfect.

Shortly after three eight-year-old boys were found mutilated and murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas, local newspapers stated the killers had been caught. The police assured the public that the three teenagers in custody were definitely responsible for these horrible crimes. Evidence?

The same police officers coerced an error-filled “confession” from Jessie Misskelley Jr., who is mentally handicapped. They subjected him to 12 hours of questioning without counsel or parental consent, audio-taping only two fragments totaling 46 minutes. Jessie recanted it that evening, but it was too late— Misskelley, Jason Baldwin and Damien Echols were all arrested on June 3, 1993, and convicted of murder in early 1994.

Although there was no physical evidence, murder weapon, motive, or connection to the victims, the prosecution pathetically resorted to presenting black hair and clothing, heavy metal t-shirts, and Stephen King novels as proof that the boys were sacrificed in a satanic cult ritual. Unfathomably, Echols was sentenced to death, Baldwin received life without parole, and Misskelley got life plus 40.

For over 13 years, The West Memphis Three have been imprisoned for crimes they didn’t commit. Echols waits in solitary confinement for the lethal injection our tax dollars will pay for. They were all condemned by their poverty, incompetent defense, satanic panic and a rush to judgment.

Here's one link on the Brian Douglas Wells case. It indicates indictments are expected in March:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17190943

"The government knows what happened the day of the incident. We know all the details that led up to the death of Brian Wells and all the parties involved," the official said."

<snip>

"An attorney, Lawrence D'Ambrosio, has said the FBI has repeatedly interviewed his client about Wells' death. D'Ambrosio did not immediately return a message left at his office Friday.

The client, Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong, is serving seven to 20 years in state prison for pleading guilty but mentally ill to killing her boyfriend, James Roden, in 2003.

Roden's killing led police to question Diehl-Armstrong in the Wells case because Roden's body was found in the freezer of a man named William Rothstein, who has since died. Rothstein's house was near the TV tower.

Buchanan said the investigation has been complicated by the deaths of at least two witnesses. She would not say if Rothstein, who died of cancer in July 2004, was one of those witnesses.

Buchanan plans to meet once more with investigators to discuss evidence, witness availability and other logistical details before indictments are sought. The grand jury is not expected to hear the government's presentment — a formal detailing of the evidence — until next month, the law enforcement official said."

Did you ever solve this mystery Awsi?

Did you ever solve this mystery Awsi?

No, but thankfully it stopped. I'm living in a different place now but it stopped even before I sold my condo. It never made any sense because that was in a good area. The only thing I can speculate is maybe someone didn't like USC. I have an alumni license plate rim in back and all that nonsense happened during the period the football team was on the long winning streak.

why can't people be happy with our success?


new UM I'd like to see...

-Jennifer Kesse
-Jason Jolkowski
-Michael Negrete
-college boys "drowning"
-Brian Schaffer
-the springfield three (did UM do this before?)

why can't people be happy with our success?

I don't know. But since we're preseason #1 next year I think I'll flop the license plate rim to the front of the car and not the back, just in case that indeed was the impetus.

It reminds me a bit of the UM case with the 49ERHUGS plate, the Dick Hansen segment. Obviously not remotely similar in terms of the reaction, but I have seen many incidents of people taking stuff like license plates and bumper stickers too seriously. Several years ago a couple refused to be paired with me on the golf course in Miami after they saw my political candidate bumper sticker as I was changing shoes in the parking lot after pulling in. Turned out they were longtime members of the John Birch Society. They told that to the starter when he tried to pair us. I was standing there warming up and got a laugh out of it, but they were absolutely serious.

But the worst by far was when I was a kid. I swear this story is true. We were in Alabama and came to a road block near the state line. Get this, the police were stopping traffic from both directions and putting a George Wallace bumper sticker on every car. They were acting like it was a celebration, on a brutally hot and muggy summer day. My dad adamantly refused the sticker, to the point he went outside the car and physically put his hands on our Volkswagen where they were trying to place the sticker. The police grumbled, trying to intimidate my dad. Several came over to see what was going on. They were like younger and serious versions of Jackie Gleason's character in those Smokey and the Bandit movies. It seemed like the verbal confrontation went on for several minutes. Finally they agreed not to place the sticker on our car, but when we pulled away two squad cars followed us. That's one of my dad's favorite stories. He embellishes it, claiming they followed us to the state line. Not true, since we had just entered Alabama, not about to depart. But my memory is they followed us for a few miles then turned around.

why do people get all bent outta shape on stupid vanity plates and license plate frames? lame. i recently watched the dick hansen segment for the first time. something that sticks out is the theory that the killer saw he was a big guy and maybe a football player. i don't buy that, he wouldn't have been able to notice this when he first pulled up behind them. i wonder if that's true, he just drove up to them when they were sitting in the car like that. did he turn and then see them? or was he right behind them a ways back and then pulled up behind them. in other words, did it seem as if he was stalking them from earlier in the evening or did he just seem to come upon them? i'm not sure the license plate had anything to do with it. how do they know he was pointing at the plate and not just the "woman in that car"? who knows what he told dick hansen, too bad he died otherwise it would be clear. whatever he said, it pissed off dick and that was the end of it. this is one of the creepiest crimes ever on UM. especially when the guy just stared at her for a while after shooting the guy. i can't believe he didn't kill her and i can't believe she didn't get a license number. crazy. this is another crime that cell phones would've prevented i think. dick and the lady could've talked on the phone and decided to drive to a local police station or called the cops and told them where they were and an officer would've met up with them somewhere. so sad what happened.

The Canes avatar would have lasted longer but she had her eyes closed. That's never a good sign.

Brian Schaffer is a good choice. I was made aware of his case only recently and his disappearance is truly baffling. He appeared to have no reason for leaving of his own will; he was doing well in school, he didn't seem to have any problems in his relationships, no known enemies... what would prompt a medical student to just walk away from his life?

I totally think foul play in this case.

CRicci, I recognize CRicci in your new avatar of course, but who is the other person?

Edward Furlong, from Terminator 2 fame. The avatar is a screenshot from the movie Pecker, which was directed by John Waters. This is one of the movies where when people watch it, they tell me how much I look like Christina Ricci. I will admit that there are some UNCANNY resemblances between her and I in this movie in particular.

Do you have any photos of yourself so we can compare? I'm not sure if you have already posted one or not, but I reckon it would be nice to see the resemblance first hand.

treeman doesn't ask questions like that

I'm not treeman.

LMAO. You guys are killing me!

In response to the thread question, I choose three cases, all of which are from my home state of Massachusetts. They are as follows:

1) The disappearance of Virginia Douglas. She was the Lexington woman who vanished in 1988, allegedly from a shopping center in Belfast, Maine.

2) The murder of Deanna Cremin. The Somerville teenager was found murdered near her home in March of 1995. Deanna's boyfriend was (and probably still is) suspected of her murder, but there hasn't been enough evidence to charge him in the case.

3) The murder of Mary Jo Frug. On April 4, 1991, she was found stabbed to death on a street in Cambridge. It has never been determined whether Mary Jo was killed by someone she knew or by a complete stranger. She was the wife of Harvard law professor Gerald Frug.

Do you have any links to give us further information on those cases, Kane? You've talked about the Virginia Douglas case at great lengths before, but I don't recall you mentioning the other two... would love more info if you have it.

LMAO. You guys are killing me!

Little by little, inch by inch... :p

He's suddenly absent and you're the only logical suspect

I actually had never mentioned the Mary Jo Frug murder here before. But I mentioned the Deanna Cremin case on the sub-forum, Other Missing Persons, Unexplained Deaths, and Cold Cases.

The Deanna Cremin case:

http://deannacremin.org

I have googled Mary Jo Frug's name and have come up with a lot of results, but have yet to come across anything that dicusses her murder at sufficient length. There is, however, a very concise description of the case at the following link (you have to scroll down to the bottom of the page, but the case is listed under "Three Recent Unsolved Murders"):

http://www.ci.cambridge.ma.us/cpd/reports/1998/murder.html

Although I have indeed discussed the Virginia Douglas case at great length, I will post a link on the case again anyway.

http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/d/douglas_virginia.html

She is listed at the Doe Network site, but her Charley Project profile is more detailed (although her photos are blurry). There are a lot of unsolved cases that have situations that don't make sense, and the disappearance of Virginia Douglas is no exception. That's why I think it would have been a fitting case for UM to profile.

He's suddenly absent and you're the only logical suspect

You've gotta be sh*tting me, right?

It's not all bad. You've been cleared in Skunk Ape's disappearance.

Who's Skunk Ape?

He posted here before your arrival. Had an apropos avatar for a Skunk Ape.

Might be one of those transformation deals, like a caterpillar. I'm not sure what a skunk ape turns into.

Michael Jackson is the Skunk Ape.

When did Awsi and Dislimb turn into the new Tag Team of Terror? :)

Michael Jackson is the Skunk Ape.

Actually, a skunk ape is a type of ape rumoured to be living in south eastern United States, primarily in the Florida Everglades. It is known for its bad smell, hence the name. According to the US National Parks Service, the skunk ape does not exist, however the following photograph was taken by a couple in 2000.

It puts AVERMAN back on the suspect list, that's all. What are the odds SkunkApe uses a specific obscure picture and then AVERMAN shows up with identical, months later?

Might be one of those trophy thefts, like Mary Bregovy's killer stealing her face. Traffic accident my flowing white arse.

Yes, Awsi, your arse is DEFINITELY white and flowing... :rofl:

Hey Kane, do you think that Virginia Douglas possibly could have been a victim of Michael Nicholau? I think it is possible. Disappeared in 1988 in the northeast, what do you think?

Well I would be interested and I think someone brought this up earlier about the college student drownings here in the midwest. They happened mostly in Minnesota and Wisconsin however all of them occurred within 100 miles of Interstate 94 and they happened in various states with a majority in Minnesota and Wisconsin. I know some college professors were looking at the case and they said while some were accidents they think a serial killer could possibly be at work and they do think some of them were homicides. La Crosse has had a huge number of them. I think it is something like 4 or 5 students at least have drowned in La Crosse in the last 10 years.

The "college drownings" are DEFINITELY spooky, and totally up UM's alley. If the show were still in production, I think there would be no question about whether or not it would be covered. The Michael Negrete and Brian Schaffer case would also make the cut, in my opinion.

Hey Kane, do you think that Virginia Douglas possibly could have been a victim of Michael Nicholau? I think it is possible. Disappeared in 1988 in the northeast, what do you think?

It never occurred to me, Kadrmas15, but I don't believe she fell victim to Michael Nicholau. At this point, I am convinced that Virginia's disappearance was caused by someone she knew.

As long as I'm on the subject, detectives are not convinced that Virginia disappeared from Maine. Instead, they believe she was murdered in her Lexington home, and that her body was buried somewhere. The evidence they found (which I am about to describe) did not support her husband's claim that she vanished from a Maine shopping center.

At the Douglas residence, the detectives discovered a piece of carpet with stains of Virginia's blood type. In addition, a clump of her hair was found under a doorstep. It was also dicovered that the refrigerator was fully stocked, and the shades were open during the Labor Day weekend. This was suspicious because Virginia's family said that she was meticulous when it came to closing the residence before traveling.

On the night of Friday, September 2, 1988, the day of Virginia's disappearance, one of the couple's children (who was visiting from out of state) arrived at their Lexington home at around 9:30 pm. According to her husband, Frank Douglas, Sr., the couple departed from Massachusetts at 8:30 pm, meaning that they left for their supposed weekend trip with no chance to greet their child. According to relatives, Virginia would never have traveled out of state without informing her visiting child ahead of time.

I consider the Virginia Douglas case to be one of the eeriest cases never profiled on UM.

Ya Rly.

So many mysteries and cases that could be looked at from a different angle.


A kid not too far from me by the name of Wade Steffey vanished on January 12th. He was a freshmen at Purdue University and unfortunatley,it doesn't look good. It's sad to read about all these kids who get out of the house for the first time only to go missing.http://www.crimelibrary.com/news/original/0107/3101_wade_steffey.html

This next one isn't exactly a complete mystery,but it would have been absolutley perfect for UM. It's the tale of three United States contractors hired by California Microwave Systems, a subsidiary of Northrop Grumman to do some work in Columbia for the "war on drugs". In Feb of 2003,they survived a plane crash,only to be taken hostage by the notorious FARC militia who saw the plane go down. One of the pilots,who was also an american died in the crash. A fifth member on the plane,a columbian crewman who also survived was immediatley murdered by the FARC on the scene. The three hostages remain in Columbia to this day. There was a brilliant documentary made about this event called "Held Hostage in Columbia". The Sundance channel airs it on occassion,I highly recommend it. Some links...

http://www.heldhostageincolombia.com/

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/02/22/world/main541592.shtml

This is a sad,and complex story as our hands are tied in trying to bring these guys home. It would have been interesting to see the UM made re-enactments,and different accounts of this event. I believe this story to be very relevant today when you consider how many boys we have running around independent of the military,and the problems that can arise from their work.

Didn't they do an episode of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer addressing this very issue? About how many college freshmen go missing because of a group of vampires that stage the disappearances after they kill the freshman?

Oh, crap... Wrong board.

In all seriousness, though, the Wade Steffey case doesn't look good. Thanks for posting it.

That's suspicious about the other Purdue student who made a false claim of an attack on the same night of the Steffey disappearance. His name is Tim Collins. Apparently he was injured badly enough to be treated, but lied about it and the polygraph indicated deception. He was charged with giving false information.

I also read the Steffey's cell phone was working for about 5 days after his disappearance and traced to the north side of campus or somewhat off campus. Doesn't look like it has been found.

I think the bizarre disappearance of Girly Chew would make an excellent Unsolved mysteries segment. I know the case is pretty much solved, and that Girly is most definitely dead, and that those responsible have been found guilty...BUUUUUTTTT...the case just has so many whack-o odd components to it that it is practically begging to be a UM segment.



Did UM ever do a Lord Lucan segment?

Did UM ever do a segment on that rapist from Sacramento who's DNA showed up years later at the scene of a couple serial killings in Southern California?

I'd also like ot see them do a segment or a recurring feature of the (hopefully) new show, investigating some of the more odd and unidentified films that pop up on the internet and on "World's Shocking Craziest Videos" type shows. Like find out just WHO is that NAVY guy that gets sucked into the airplane turbine when it fires up in that one night-vision video. And WHO is that South American doctor who has a warehouse full of people waiting ror him every morning and he just runs around treating them all without sterilizing his hands or wearing gloves or anything, cutting into folks with scalpels and burning warts off them and lancing boils, but none of the people look the least bit uncomfortable while he's doing this. They all say they feel no pain when he's touching them.

EDITED TO ADD:

There's also a case (or perhaps 2) that occurred near where I live in Northern California. I say perhaps 2 becaus eit seems to me that this sort of crime happened at leats once before in the same area. Two teens, soon to be married, were taking a trip through the country, I believe on one of those carefree "see as much as you can see before you get tied down" trips young people typically go on, and were camping out on a beach in No. Cal. They were murdered in their sleep by some sick-o with a gun. The killer left some evidence, writings in the girl's diary, as well as some other items I'm blanking on. Sorry I don't have exact names and info. The case is just so sad to me because these two were in the prime of life, travelling with the one they loved, good clean-cut religious kids (not that any one deserves what they got but they just seemed the type to never hurt a fly), and for nothing they are brutally murdered in their sleep.

I would love to see a story about Brian Douglas Wells.He was a pizza delivery man from Erie,Pennsylvia .On August 28,2003 shortly after 2 PM ,He went on a delivery call.The address his caller gave was a vacant lot.What happened next is still not fully known but within an hour-Brian Douglas Wells showed up at a bank wearing a metal collar and a bomb strapped to him with a note demanding money.After he left the bank,The police arrived while Wells was in a neighboring parking lot.Wells Told police that he had been ambushed earlier and forced to wear the collar and bomb and rob the bank.While a bomb squad raced to the scene ,Wells remained calm unlying the impending danger.At 3:18 Pm-the Collar bomb exploded killing Wells.To date-no one has been charged in this highly publized bizarre case.

What Stories would you profile?

I see two people have been arrested involving the death of Brian and he himself has been linked to the planning of the robbery :eek:
