in the death or disappearance of his wife (a la Dennis DePue, Jule Caylor, Don Sherman, Leonard Rizzo, Steve Marfeo, Mike Morris, and many others)? He was interviewed by UM about the case and he had a beard (I believe he was redheaded), chipped front teeth, and these angry eyes who was professing his innocence, and the evidence lead to him but they didn't have enough solid evidence to charge him with. Does anyone remember this case?

I do, but I don't.

I do remember the person you are talking about but I can't remember his name or the victim's name. I can even picture him in my mind. The chipped teeth part is what jogged my memory.

I'll try to think of it and browse the CD "Best of" DVD's to see if I can remember.

Could it have been Jeff Oberholtzer?

That dude is 110% innocent though.

Could it have been Jeff Oberholtzer?

I was thinking the same thing but didn't remember a chipped tooth.

No, definitely not Jeff Oberholtzer. I believe the case was shown on UM around the mid-90s, I think and the case itself (his wife's death or disappearance) took place in the late 80s to early 90s. The husband had this mean look to him and just seemed irritated throughout the whole interview.

Could it be Leonard Rizzo you're thinking of? Not a redhead but looked pretty mean and strangely subdued (I always wondered if he was on something) during the interview but looked evil and pretty obvious he killed his wife.

No, definitely not him either. I was scanning through some older threads and I think it could be Mark Nichols. Does that sound right given the details I gave in the OP?

I don't believe he had a beard though.

Could it have been the husband of Christi Nichols (I don't remember his first name), who disappeared in Nebraska?

Charli-Ann

Yeah, I'm thinking it was Mark Nichols after eliminating the other wife murderers that were interviewed on UM after doing a search through this forum. And Justin, did Mark have a beard in his family photo with Christi Ann and their kids and didn't have a beard in the UM interview? That might be where I could have been mistaken about Mark.

Heather just sent me volumes 1-3 of those UM compilations, so I'll know for sure pretty soon since the Christi Ann Nichols case is on the first disc.

That's the segment titled Skull Duggery on the Bizarre Murders set. I can't recall the guy's name.

Husband: Don Sherman
Victim: Linda Sherman

Husband: Don Sherman
Victim: Linda Sherman

A gold star for HumanFrailty - I bet thats it!! :) He did seem to match the description synthislab and he did seem the logical choice for murder even though he denied it. I thought the theory seemed very logical that the reason he ended up putting her skull in that public place was that he wanted to remarry and had to prove she was dead before he could do so.

No, it's not that case (Linda Sherman/Skull Duggery) either, but the circumstances of the cases are similar in that the both victims are about to finally leave their husbands after possessed, controlled, and abused by them, yet we are to believe that these women would leave their kids with the abusive father. Yeah, right. Who would do that?

The other similarities in those two cases is that wife was last seen with the husband, the husband had the motive and opportunity to murder their wife, and they both allow themselves to be interviewed by UM.

By the way, welcome to the board HF.

More details on this came to me. The husband was having an estranged relationship with his wife, I believe. She was found dead in her car just down the road from her husband's house and the car was in a ditch. The scene was obviously staged to try cover up her murder as a car accident so she must have been beaten to death. Does anyone know this case now?

Sounds like the Kathy Page segment. Her estranged husband did have brown hair and a beard and came across pretty arrogant. I think he was responsible for her death although I don't think he's ever been charged.

This wasn't the case where the husband tried to set the car on fire is it ?

That's it, Heather. Thanks. Do you have this segment?

That's it, Heather. Thanks. Do you have this segment?

Yes I have it.

No, Teresa I don't think the car was set on fire. It seemed like she was posed inside and it was rolled down a hill making it look like she had a car accident.

No, but I am intrigued to know which case you are referring to.

Ahh now I recall this one. It all seemed pretty strange, and personally I think the husband did it.


synthisislab: I think there have been several cases where the car was set on fire in an attempt to cover up a murder. The one case I recall at the moment was the woman who went to a party and was later found dead in her burned car. They made it seem like an accident however it was believed that she was murdered. I can't remember all of the details such as a name.

Was it a Christmas party? And if so, I think you're talking about Rhonda Hinson. But was her car burned? I'll have to check out that segment again when I get back home tonight.

It was her, now that I think about it maybe her car wasnt burned, but someone attempted to burn it.

I think I am getting alot of my UM and AMW cases all mixed up.

Yeah, I have went through close to 100 UM segments in the past few days from Heather's first 3 volumes and I don't remember which case, but one of them involved a crime (possible murder) scene where there was a piece of rolled up newspaper in the gas tank that looked like someone lit it, but it went out. The other details have escaped me on that one.

I'm watching the Rhonda Hinson segment again now and there was no car fire or attempted car fire. This case had her found dead in her car shot from a gunshot that went through her trunk, then her seat, and finally into her heart, and the car was on the shoulder of the road spun around and facing the wrong direction with the headlights on and the driver's door open. Apparently her body was moved in the car for some strange reason. There were witnesses that saw someone move her body around and witnessed an old school '70 blue Chevelle and a black Trans Am around the scene of the murder. There were unidentified fingerprints from the driver's car door. It seems that there were no suspects that have been fingerprinted that match up and I'm thinking that they haven't been fingerprinted or busted yet because when they book you, they check your fingerprints to see if you are wanted or have any outstanding warrants. I'm not sure if they do a nationwide check, but the guy at least hasn't been arrested yet in that area (and it's been 26 years since the murder).

What also baffles me is the motive. Who would kill her or pay or get someone to kill her and for what reason? This seemed like someone was intent on killing her and went into her car after shooting her to make sure she was dead and the job was done.
It just said that she was frightened in the time before her murder and she asked her mother if it were okay to go with a married man. She also suffered from insomnia and would wake up in the middle of the night to take a shower.

There are just too many missing puzzle pieces on this one to go on.
