Here's a question.

How has UM affected your life (a part from getting a good night's sleep)? Have you ever changed your behavior and/or habits following a case profiled on UM? Like:

Don't go the ATM at night (Matthew Chase and Gretchen Burford)
Make sure all windows and doors are locked before going to bed. (Stanley Gryziwek).
Keep away from big vans that don't have windows (Tara Calico)

Anyone else?

Don't go to an ATM at night. Don't pull over during a road rage incident. Watch out for graveyard shifts.

Don't go to an ATM at night. Don't pull over during a road rage incident. Watch out for graveyard shifts.

Good call!

Never go to a car wash at night.

Never walk to the store late at night.

Always call the police if you hear someone being tortured next door.

Never get into a vehicle with anyone who tries to force you (if you can help it).

Never drink milkshakes or anything else that tastes funny or burns.

Don't go to an ATM at night. Don't pull over during a road rage incident. Watch out for graveyard shifts.

I work third shift. It has its drawbacks, but somebody has to work them. Additionally, robberies and such can happen at anytime, anywhere, as proven by assorted cases on UM. Even in broad daylight, or in rural towns where nothing ever seems to happen.

Do not get on the bad side of any police department.

Don't sleep in a motorhome at a rest stop.

Also, if i were a criminal, not to set my family's house on fire and act like I didn't, not to kill and bury my wife in a supposed compost area in the back yard, not to drop all the money i've robbed from the bank or leave lollipops in my abandoned cars.

As a youth-Stay out of the woods!! (Too many youngsters discovering dead bodies while playing in wooded areas)

Never spend the night at a rest stop.

Never get in a car with someone who doesn't like you (Wendy Camp) because if you do you're really at their mercy.

As far as watching UM in general affecting my life I also find myself being more hesitant when walking alone in the more isolated blocks of my town. I keep hearing Robert Stack's voice saying "she left for a walk and was never seen again.....". :lol:

It would be inadvisable to travel on a lonely stretch of road alone. I fear that scenario because you could go for miles without seeing another person, and if you found yourself in serious trouble, your cries for help would go unheard! :eek:

That scenario was mentioned by Robert Stack in the segment about the murder of Dexter Stefonek, who was murdered in Montana during a car trip home to Wisconsin after staying with his son in Oregon.

+1 for the road rage

It's so easy to get mad at someone who is an idiot in traffic, but after watching UM... yikes. How many times did truly innocent people get maimed or killed by road rage on UM?

Makes you think twice.

That also goes for sleeping or even stopping at a rest stop at night or in an isolated area. Too many of those cases as well.

Here's a little twist on this thread, for comic relief. Let's call it "Other Life Lessons from UM"

- Don't cancel your mom's credit card on Friday when her dead body won't be discovered until the following Monday

- Never hire a woman who says, "It's a new store -- we can build it together."

- If Jule Caylor offers you a ride to the BART station, just say NO.

- Never take coupons from a guy promoting "Somebody's Pizza"

- Never believe anything you hear on a morning show bit called "Confess Your Crime"

- If you start a UFO hoax, for the love of God make sure you take all the models out of your house before you move.

:D

Yeah. Seriously.
:rofl:

I gotta say, watching UM has convinced me to never pick up a hitchhiker.

And I'd still sleep at a rest stop, but if somebody knocks on my door claiming to be the police, rest assured I'm not opening the door.

well, hopefully, this one should go without saying...

"never buy a 3-wheeled car that hasn't been manufactured yet"

well, hopefully, this one should go without saying...

"never buy a 3-wheeled car that hasn't been manufactured yet" Oh ye of little faith... :p

well, hopefully, this one should go without saying...

"never buy a 3-wheeled car that hasn't been manufactured yet"

I'll go you one better, wiseguy...

- If said 3-wheeled car turns out to be a sham and the 'inventor' is arrested for fraud, don't say, "There is a group of us who still believe in The Dale and want to continue making the car."

Now THAT is rich. . .

:lol:

Definitely on both accounts. Also, don't go back to check on the hitchhiker after you've originally declined to give him a ride. That was a costly mistake.

Never go to a car wash at night.

Another good one.

I was involved in a road rage incident a few years back. This guy wanted me to pull over and I sure as hell wasn't going to do that. Last thing I needed was to pick a fight on the side of a busy road. Not to mention some of the horror stories I've seen about it on UM and AMW.

Never stop to use a pay phone, especially if there's a pickup truck circling around the block.

Not a life lesson per say but the TK HARDY seggie put a sick twist on the adage: "You get what you pay for."

Mmmm. Let's see. Hiring a guy that is willing to kill someone for a puny 125$, expect the callling card of a pompous amateur.

Like offering his services of killer for hire to A LOCAL restaurant owner, bragging about the murder and basically giving a BLOW BY BLOW description of the murder.

Pretty, pretty, pretty, duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumb. :cuckoo

Never stop to use a pay phone, especially if there's a pickup truck circling around the block.

Another good one. Thankfully, cell phones are reducing this possibility greatly.

On a less jockular note: Never give up hope.

What with older cases still being solved, lo, these many years later.

Good one, radar1979!

Other cautionary tales to ponder:

Stay away from white Ford Econoline vans without any side windows (Tara Calico, Jodi Huisentruit).

Ladies, don't go out with older, creepy men (Jim Burnside, Randall Utterback, Steve Wilson, Jerry Strickland, and Jenny Pratt's surfer douche bag Curtis).

Don't give out your personal infomation for the purposes of psychic readings and numerology (Beverly McGowan, Judy Olive).

Stripping is (perhaps) not always safe. (Crystal Spencer, Jamie Santos, Tara Brenckenridge, Susan Walsh)

If you're a judge, don't allow visitation rights to grand-parents who have made up wild scenarios about sexual abuse and satanic cults and those allegations turned out to be a crock of lies (Jared Peters and the Baskin children). :mad:

I've become a LOT more paranoid of being alone in my apartment because of UM, especially at night. I make sure all my doors and windows are securely locked and I tend to jump at every little noise I hear. I'm also really uncomfortable about walking around in the woods and to the store at night by myself.

I still have a hard time watching UM at night by myself (That's how good CD's DVDs are!)

But the lesson's I've learned:

Never sleep in a rest area.....NEVER!

Never give out personal information....(although if someone asked about my menstral cycle, I would be outta there ala Judy Olive)....for any reason

Be wary and careful when buying your dream car for a sweet too good to be true price (ala Oliver Watson)

Never walk by myself at night, even in the small town I live in now

And never......never.....NEVER.....get out of the car to use a payphone when someone is circling around. I have a cell phone, but I am desperate to use a payphone, stay in the damn car!

Never hang with a guy with a name like "Wadada."

Never stay with a man who claims that "you're being bad again...."

...and obviously, men who have a preference for obsessively clean houses are forbidden as well.

Judy Olive? Which case was that one?

Judy Olive? Which case was that one?

She was a nurse who got involved with a cult leader called Ulysses Roberson. She had a child with him named Alexander and he has been missing for years. In fact I just read where Roberson was charged with his murder in 2001 although Alexander's body has never been found. He has done some delaying tactics and has yet to stand trial.

http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/o/olive_alexander.html

Oh, man. I had completely forgotten about that case. That cult leader guy reeks of scum.

Our psychic centers are about to become one...

When answering a dating service add, check to see if that person is on Unsolved Mysteries or America's Most Wanted (Hazel Leota Head)

I remember that case. That guy sent up some many red flags from the beginning.

How about, if you're out in the woods, canoeing with a bunch of your buddies, don't flag S.O.S. to an orb of light that has been creeping you out since the get go. Just in case. You know.

:ufo:

Resist the urge to walk your pets out late at night, by yourself. (Cindy James, Mrs. Wacker) :dog:

Dont keep following behind black pick-up trucks that are driving erratically down country roads. TURN AROUND! :eek:

don't wander off in the desert trying to find "the beast"

don't invite one eyed homeless guys to room with you in your Beverly Hills apartment, and if you do, don't invite your mom over when you're not home.

don't go out partying with "Louie"

don't leave the arson video in your jacket on the side of the road with your morter and pestle

don't take a job on the night shift at the platinum factory

don't agree to drive all night with your girlfriend to meet a guy in a hotel room to sell a high end Mac computer

don't ask "why should I move?" if some guy has beat up your wife (twice) and terrorizes you on a daily basis

"why should I move?"

:lol: Those Wackers sure where wacky.

Never ride your bike on a desolate road alone (Tara Calico)

Never pick up a hitchhiker (Philip Fraser)

Don't gamble your safety for time by sleeping at rest stops alone. Have someone be lookout or drive for your while you sleep in your car. If you must travel alone, stay at motels or ask to stay in their parking lots (Dexter Stefonek, Blind River Rest Stop)

Always keep a spare key to your car hidden, and easily accessible (Debbie, shotgun victim)

If you are in an abusive relationship, no matter what they did, break up immediately and don't give them a second chance. They intentionally hurt you and would likely do it again if you gave them a chance (so many cases)

If you are driving and being followed by someone, drive to a police station, don't try to confront them (Dick Hansen)

Never run an errand by yourself in the middle of the night (Kathy Hobbs, Matt Chase)

If you want to know if psychics can really cure your depression or other maladies, give them this test: Ask them who will win the next sports championship of a certain event. Then you'll know how much of a fraud they are.

Never go to the ATM at night

Always be aware of your suroundings

Always lock the doors if you have car problems on the side of the road (I have broken down twice and both times people suddenly pulled over and asked me to step out of the car to check out the problem. Fortunately we have Road Rangers who are good about finding you within minutes and both guys drove off after they showed up. I'm not saying they would have done anything, but the show absolutely taught me to lock the door and call for help)

NEVER walk in dark alleys late at night. (I was in Asheville in October and got lost walking back to my car alone at midnight and actually ended up in a dark alley. I felt so vulnerable and creeped out I made it a point to get to the end as fast as possible.)

Always carry Mace and learn self defence, LOL

Never put yourself in a bad situation you can't get out of. If you feel uncomfortable, leave immediately.

I will also say that I learned you never pick up hitchhikers, or try and hitchhike yourself. It doesn't matter if it's around town or across the country, you never know who you're picking up or who might pick you up.

1. Always keep a camera with you...you never know when you might meet a mothman, ghost, ufo or rainboy. :D

Seriously,

1. Always tell the police everything.f you see something....SAY SOMETHING!!!!!!!!:mad:

2. always take a lie detector test and answer police's questions. It avoids you becoming a suspect in the case and saves time in their investigation.

3. Always keep your assets separate from your spouse, family, or whomever. Never give them access.

4. If possible, get a good watch dog. A dog is an alarm system, weapon and sentry all in one.
A gun is just a weapon..you have to be awake and catch the intruder first for it to be useful

5. If you see someone who shows signs of suicidal behavior...don't wait get him help right away!!!

If you're planning a trip, always book a room in advance or at least determine if the area hotels are booked up. (Pamela Ray).

If it's possible, fight, even at the risk of bodily injury, rather than complying and going to a secondary location with an attacker. If someone only wants your money or car, there's no reason for them to take you along.

If you regularly walk/exercise, don't always take the same route or go at the same times.

As far as rest areas, only use well lighted ones with plenty of other vehicles around. Ask any long haul truckers you know what rest stops/truck stops/general neighborhoods to avoid. Always go to the rest/truck stop buildings in pairs. Drive off if someone attempts to come to your door. Or stop at 24 hour Walmarts instead.

Be cautious of miniature alien spacecraft or mothlike creatures attempting to enter your home. :crazy:

Try to avoid having too many enemies.

Be cautious of miniature alien spacecraft

Well, not if you're suffering from a terminal illness. :p

The Gretchen Burford segment has taught me to always check the back seat of my car before entering the car.

The Gretchen Burford segment has taught me to always check the back seat of my car before entering the car.

Me too.

Someone already mentioned it a few posts back, but I always make an conscious effort to vary my driving and run routes, too.

The Joe Weldon Smith segment has made me forever wary of the various nook and crannies of my apartment when coming home at night.

Which leads to the question..what would you do if you DID find someone in the back seat of your car?

Exactly Mastermind. I've always wondered what would have Gretchen Burford have done if she saw the man in her backseat.

- By the way, I love the "always call the cops if you hear your neighbors being tortured" LOL my goodness, what where those people thinking!?

Obviously I'd run like hell if I saw someone in my back seat. What else can you do? The point is kind of moot for me since I always lock my car up whenever I exit it. Even if it's the middle of the day. It's just habit.

Gretchen's downfall was that she left her car unlocked. Many people did in the 80's. It was common back then. My parents did it all the time when I was little.

This is kind of an argument I had at a self defense course a long while back. :D

1. If the killer is in the backseat..he can also see you and can also run as well. There's no magic "time out" or out of bounds he has to adhere to.

2. there are several motives to trying to ambush someone in the backseat. Least of which is this person may be specifically targeting you. Which in that case, you just simply foiled murder attempt number 1...many more to follow. :(

3. Form the attackers perspective, worst comes to worse...you at least get the victims car to drive away with while the owner is running away screaming.

4. as with all self-defense measures...most of the time your just foiling the attack against you, personally. Depending on his motives, If the attacker is not caught he's simply going to try again somewhere else till he;s successful.


An interesting defense againts the backseat scenario is to have your floor of your backseat cluttered. he can;t hide there if he has to move stuff.

There;s a very ingenious variation to this from the attackers perspective. If your patient enough and careful enough...you could get a free ride...right into the owner's garage!!

Don't board crappy, rustbucket ships that have misspelled names that are headed to Haiti with a crew of people you don't know and a German dousche you just met in a club. (Lisa Bishop and the Freedon)

After driving long haul across the country for the last 9 months I will say this with absolute certainty, if you are ever in West Memphis, Arkansas keep driving until you get to the next truck stop/rest stop. We saw a guy get robbed at knife point there by a lot lizard, and that was tame according to the police. Normally it's with a gun.

Don't accept drinks from complete strangers in a bar!

Are you talking about the Pilot or the Petro? I can believe it. I stopped at the Pilot some years back and was later warned by an acquaintance not to stop off in WM at all. And I never stop in or around Gary, IN for the same reasons.

And knowing what we know of West Memphis, it's probably not advisable to stop there if you're dressed all in black or wearing a Metallica shirt either!

And I never stop in or around Gary, IN for the same reasons.

Driving through Gary, IN was one of my most memorable on-the-road experiences. I'm from Tennessee, and I say the absolute worst parts of Memphis or WM can't hold a candle to Gary.

I live in Indiana and two years ago while coming home from a trip to Chicago, my friend that was driving was using his GPS, and his GPS mistook what the quickest route was and ended up taking us through parts of Gary that night. We were joking that his GPS was trying to get us killed. I think I might have imitated an UM segment introduction pertaining to our possible fate that night.

Also, earlier that day when going to Chicago we went through a part of Gary and at a toll road stop there, the lady working at the toll told us, "make sure you keep your windows up while driving through here". Just to scare my friends as a joke, I rolled down my window while some cars were driving by and started waving to the passers-by. I was not shot or stabbed.

I didn't mean to infer that Gary is all bad, just some significant parts, like many industrial suburbs.

I've driven through East St. Louis (another industrial suburb with a bad reputation) several times at night, and it's usually a ghost town, lots of abandoned buildings, and what few people were out were minding their own business. And there's parts of New Orleans that I'd advise anyone to steer clear of after sundown and be cautious about in the daytime. It's just not a good idea to wander around certain rougher spots unless you have a specific agenda in that area, or know your way around pretty well.

The Memphis area has one of the highest crime rates in America. South Central, LA has nothing on Memphis.

The Memphis area has one of the highest crime rates in America. South Central, LA has nothing on Memphis.

Holy cow, really? I've never been on that side of the country and am from L.A. South Central is pretty much known as the worst of the worst here (excluding a few other areas) and downtown in general is quite unsavory. I'm glad I live in a nice section of the county! I do have a view of downtown in the distance, and while it's pretty to look at, that's all the relation I'd like to have with it, haha. I've heard horror stories about NYC, sections of Florida, and South Chicago as well (I've never gone farther east than Texas/Oklahoma). Not that I was planning on it, but this definitely puts a damper on whatever thoughts I had on going before :lol: :lol:

Are you talking about the Pilot or the Petro? I can believe it. I stopped at the Pilot some years back and was later warned by an acquaintance not to stop off in WM at all. And I never stop in or around Gary, IN for the same reasons.

It happened at Pilot, after we paid to park and get showers. Only place I have found so far that charges to park your rig, unless you spend $$ inside.

We were walking through the lot to get showers and heard a commotion, but it sounded like a couple fighting. It wasn't until we were about 3 trucks away with some other guys we realized what was going on and heard her shout, "You keep following me and I'll kill you".

If we weren't picking up at FedEx I would rather not go anywhere near there. That whole Three Corners area where the states border each other is horrible. And Memphis itself is a jumbled mess to get through of construction and narrow roads.

I have to disagree strongly w/ 2 & 3.

2) Taking a lie detector, like offering a DNA sample, is a poor idea, because it may in no manner "clear you" of the being investigated by police. Unless the police and the DA's office will provide you w/ a WRITTEN statement clearing you of suspicion if the results of test do not indicate "deception", then it's useless to take a polygraph/Voice stress test.

If you know that you are innocent, there's no need to for you to have to prove it. And frankly, you are under no obligation to help the police if you had nothing to do w/ the crime. And there's no reason to believe that your help will do anything to assist the police.

3) If you don't believe that you can trust your relatives or worse, your spouse w/ your assets , then your relationships are in serious trouble already. BEFORE taking a serious step like marriage or even long-term cohabitation it would be wise to discuss financial matters in detail if you plan on being together for any length of time.

Also, in the event of an unexpected injury or death, then not allowing your spouse to access to your assets will cause them needless hardships and possibly additional pain at a time when they require neither. Bottom line....if you can't trust the people closest to you w/ your assets, then immediate counseling is in order as your personal life is likely crumbling.

Yeah, I think a large tour group traveling in broad daylight to visit Michael Jackson's original home needed armed guards.

Don't drink or take drugs (Kurt Sova)

I'd specific it a little bit more and say, "don't drink in excess". A glass of wine or a can of beer total usually isn't going to do much to anyone of adolescent age or older, but hard-liquor and one of the most potent hard-liquors (Everclear) certainly can, which is reportedly what was he drinking (how quickly, no one seems to really know) from around the morning/noon time of the day of the party, up until whenever he finished it (assuming he did).

It's never been proven that he took any other drugs besides alcohol.

Don't die in Florida unless you won't a screwed up trial.

I honestly forget whether east Arkansas's "Blue Light Rapist" was ever profiled on UM as it's a relatively recent case (my segment expertise tends to lie in the 1987-1994 period; maybe crystaldawn or one of the more senior members can help), but that is perhaps the one anthfel is referring to:

http://www.nytimes.com/1997/07/14/us/new-attack-in-arkansas-by-blue-light-rapist.html

There is also the very similar case of the Route 29 Stalker, who I know was definitely profiled on UM in the late 1990s on a segment about Alicia Showalter Reynolds:

Always stay away from a group that "practices a New Age movement"!

Was the "don't shack up" comment about the mentally unstable girl (forgot her name right now) that killed her live in boyfriend and piled a bunch of clothes on top of his body before fleeing?

Someone on the video site mentioned these:

1) Never pick up a hitchhiker, especially a male

2) Never stay or even stop at rest stops

3) Never use a payphone

4) Never use a ATM at night or any that doesn't have a card activated door

5) Never stop when a man waves to you suggesting your car is in trouble

6) Never follow a gunman to a back room

7) And alas, if you hear UM music playing in the background and you can visualize Robert Stack making a story about you, leave that situation ASAP!


I think he/she is right

ALWAYS give sandwiches and iced tea to strangers who knock on your door asking to work for food.

almost sounds like the Aimee Willard case

I thought that guy was harmless and gave out money every Christmas to that old couple, or am I thinking of another case?

He was harmless and he did give them $500 every Christmas. Which is why I said "always" since you as well may receive the money each Christmas.
