Just a heads up to anyone who recalls, I just did an update to the Unsolved Mysteries, adding about twenty-five cases to the mysteries page (those cases not counted for fugitives and unsolved murders). Among the cases I added there was the cases for the slain sea lions, Ryan Stalling, Alex Kelly, Tony Ziegler, Bashire Kouchaji, the San Mateo fires, the KROQ radio confession, Larry Race, the Stanton Bones and others. I also adjusted the main page.

I'm still trying to identify episodes for cases mentioned and listed in the forum here to add to the episode list. The episode guide at TV.com has been useful but not thorough. A few of you have been adding cases and expanding on the case summaries as well as fixing the mispelled names that have dribbled through. Thank you, but you can sign up for an account to keep track of your updates.

One question: does anyone know the name of the murdered bailiff from Judge Ito's courtroom. I've tried googling his identity with no success. You can contact me through the site or leave a message on my board there.

His first name was Tommy, not Tony.

What? We're not allowed his real name?

I've done another update to the site concerning about 20-25 criminals wanted or captured. Without going through the entire list, I added Marvin and Sandra Maple, Bob Dozier and John Russell, Elizabeth Ortiz, Carl and Mary Denny, Richard Relf, the Kansas City Arsonist, Randall Utterback, Jason mcVean, Edward Harold Bell, Whitey Bulger, Raymond Young and several others. Some of these descriptions are light because of sparse info on the net. Anyone is welcome to expand on them.

My local library wouldn't open the link. I had to head to the local college to get it to work.

Antranik Geuvjehiian

I wonder if this could be a hate crime.

I don't think it was a hate crime. When you look at him, he's just a guy with olive skin, brown eyes, and dark hair. Could be italian, latino, or anything. Unless someone knew him, and killed him because he was lebanese (armenian? his last name is armenian and he was named after an armenian war hero.) But then, I don't understand hate crimes and don't get why people choose victims based on race, so that's confusing to me.

Anyway, the first link I came across said that he was shot and killed while investigating a prowler in his neighbor's yard. I was thinking, "well it's los angeles county, could be a bad area, and it was just a murder". But then, I found this site:

http://camemorial.org/1991-2000/geuvjehizian.php

Which had this to say:

"""Deputy Geuvjehizian, a native of Beirut, Lebanon, was 31 years old when he died on the night of July 18, [1995] shot by a prowler near his Pasadena home.

He was off duty and unarmed, helping his wife take out the trash, when he spotted a suspicious-looking man in front of his neighbor's house. The man approached the couple and Geuvjehizian confronted him while his wife ran to call police.

When the prowler fled, Geuvjehizian chased him and was shot several times in the upper body, according to Lieutenant Gene Gray of the Pasadena Police Department."""

That sounds way more suspicious than just catching a prowler in his neighbor's yard. He was a court bailiff for a couple different judges. It could have been a hit. Apparently, Geuvjehizian and his wife were the only people outside or nearby and the killer actually approached them. That's not prowler behavior.

If the guy was looking to rob the neighbor's house, he would have run off as soon as he realized he'd been seen, rather than approaching two witnesses. Sounds fishy, imo.

I just updated the Wikia page with about 25-30 murder cases, some of the more popular, Linda Sobek, Ted Binion, Mickey and Trudy Thompson, Larry Costine, Antranik Geuvjehizizian and others.

I'm going to be doing some Lost Loves cases next. Despite being the most remembered cases, the internet info for them is the most sparse and I'm going almost entirely by memory on some of them. Probably going to have a lot of facts wrong, but then that's why it's Wikia - easy correction.

Oh, I don't know who has been adding other than me; if it's the same person returning or someone else each time. I updated the Instructions page to try an better explain just what I'm going there.

I just updated the Wikia page and I'm up to 375 cases with about 35 new fugitives and about 35 mysteries. Some of the cases I've cover so far:

Gabby's Bones, Mabel Woods, Stephanie Booker, Dan Tundervold, Glen and Bessie Hyde, Darlie Routier, Elvis Presley, Cokeville Explosion, Huey Long, Kurt Cobain, Brushy Bill Roberts, Turford and Stevens, Stevens and Sizemore, the Burrowing Bandits, Michael Eschweiler,The Unabomber, Defransisco sisters, David gordon Smith, Dennis DePue among others and profiles on Forensic Files and Haunting Evidence which have cases in common with UM

Right now, I'm only working on cases from my notebook from the series and a list of case descriptions printed from these boards. Some cases are brief, others more exapanded with info and updates not on the series. When I get through my lists, I'll probably scale back to a few cases at a time instead of batches of 30-35.

If you want to known when and what I update. Subscribe to this thread.

awesome work.......thanks.

The Unsolved Wikia I started is now up to 445 pages. I've added case descriptions for the following missing and murder cases: Amy Billig, Wendy Camp, Selena Edon, Natalee Holloway (not technically a UM case, it's connected to the Amy Bechtel case), Moses Lall, Charlotte Pollis, Joyce Chiang and Chandra Levy, Miranda Gaddis and Ashley Pond, Ed Baker, Bobby Fuller, Jill and Julie Hansen, John and Linda Sohus, Kimberly Pandililios, Kait Arquette, Chad Maurer, Kurt Sova and others. Some of the case descriptions are extremely light because of lack of info on the internet, but it is a Wikia site meant for editing. I know some of you might have access to info and research I don't have.

I've since updated the Wikia with several murder and wanted cases; it's up to 511 cases. I've concluded the list of cases from the DVD list in this pages (not the official DVD list sold in stores, the other one). From here, I'm working on the list from my notebook and barring finding ANY research on the Net, the descriptions from here will probably be light unless anyone wants to share and expand on the cases they are following.

I've since updated the Unsolved Musteries Wikia with serval Lost loves cases. The only ones anyone might recogninize are the Pat Mealbach and Monica Libao cases.

I also finally added a list of paranormal cases under legends with a few token entries

I'm going to take a break from adding cases for a while but I'll be editing here and there. Despite the potential I considered in this site, it really gets very little hits nor participation. I've either got one person doing several edits or a few doing one time edits hear and there.

Don't worry about the site traffic yet, Thor. It's still new. Whenever I can, I direct people on here who have questions, to your site. Just yesterday, I sent someone to your "lost loves" page because they were looking for a certain family who had been reunited, all but one sibling.

It's just going to take a while of finishing up the work and getting the word out.

Right now, it's not coming up in a google search for "unsolved mysteries". I have to search for "unsolved mysteries wiki" to find it on the search engine. I don't know how to get that fixed. Maybe some web geeks can give you info on how to get your site recognized by search engines.

Really, I think it's just going to take more time, but it will eventually get an appropriate amount of traffic. :)

I think I've got the gamut of Lost Love cases to the Wikia, but the majority of them are light; it's not like those cases are covered on other sites on the Internet. My only source were the notes I had taken directly from the series and from the Case Results list in these boards. I have added other sites to Google searches; I'll just have to do the same for this one.

My routine of updating the wikia is like this. I type about 25-30 cases at a time in wordpad, save to a disc and then paste/click them one at a time to the right spot on the site at my local library. I don't have Internet at home much less a up to date computer. Only about one out of ten cases maybe has update material not from the series but from internet research to expand on a case I have limited info on. However, I hope that I've left enough details in all of the cases that someone more familar with it can expand on it for other interested parties.

Sidebar, I have had a nasty little vandal going in and just not taking the effort of the page seriously by adding questionable material, beyond stupid little lines and other stuff, but being the editor behind much of everything, I just keep editing him back out. I can't stop the little loser from being a loser, but I can always tell where it's been; after all, what sort of cretin wastes his own time to create someting that only takes a second to delete?

Good grief! I can't believe someone would take the time to write up trash and add it to the site. I can't stand it when people destroy stuff just for the sake of their own amusement. You're right, he's a loser.

I just added about forty-five new unsolved murders to thw Unsolved wikia. A few of the cases you might recognize: Kevin Hughes, Brooke Baker, little miss panasoffkee, michael francke, cindy james, lee selwyn, mia zapata, the black dahlia, kristi lee, and carson prince. This wraps what I got on file, but not what I got listed on the site.

The Unsolved Wikia is now up to 648 cases. I just posted almost 50 wanted cases; a few of them have no data on them because the series list I'm working from only gave their names, no case descriptions, which is something to be said for the majority of unsolved cases. If I spent the time to actually research and expand on every case, it give nothing to do for anyone wanting to be a part of the site.

Hey Thor, I just wanted to let you know how much your work is appreciated. You've done a lot of hard work and there's much to show for it. Thank you so much! :)

Oh Lord---hope that didn't sound too much like a monthly progress report from a boss in some office or something! :p

I just hope it's getting traffic. Unlike a lot of Wikia sites, ones where you see a lot of people making constant edits and adding, I just can't tell if there's any visitors.

I go there once or twice a week.

Maybe you could make a signature with the address in it so that whenever you post here, people are reminded about your site.

At 742 cases, I have positively finished transcribing all the case descriptions I had listed directly from the show while it ran on Lifetime to the Wikipedia and a few from case file lists in these boards. That means the Wikia site has about 742 cases, only two of which were written by other submitters, though I might have edited them a bit more. I wish I could get the message about the site to every fan of the show though. I would have liked fuller descriptions of all the cases; as it is, some of the cases are just the outline while others I have only the name of the fugitive and nothing else. The episode list I was working from wasn't exactly infallible, but I did add a page for potential submitters to add other cases. I'm not going to stop working and adding to it, but I've definitely done enough work to give others an idea of how the site works. There are a few case names for segments I don't recognize (possibly typos, "Jenny Bright" was possibly originally "Jeremy Bright"). I've obviously changed and altered formats since I started on the site, but I hope it makes sense and anyone with pics, info or ideas to add to make the site better or more comprehensible, I'd be glad to hear them.

Sidebar, I've added the case description to the Su Tarascawitz case for the third time. I know I've added it at least once, but every so often, the case description goes blank. Now, wnenever any case there gets added or edited (some joker adds lines like "drove away laughing" or adds links to porn sites), I go in and edit back, but for that case, it's gone blank without the update message. I just don't get it, but I got it back.

Unsolved Mysteries Wikia http://unsolvedmysteries.wikia.com
Most of the cases, most of the facts...

Thor, one of the Su Taraskawitz deletions was my fault. I forgot to go back and re-enter the info.

On her case and another, the names were spelled incorrectly so I went in, correctly spelled the name so that it would show up under the correct spelling on the main list, but when I did that, the wiki site totally erased the body of the entire case description.

I don't know if I did something wrong, or if the way the site is set up, it erases the existing info when the case file name is changed.

To avoid that in the future, I copy the entire case file info, correctly spell the name, then repost the case file.

BTW, this is a different process of correcting the spelling of the name on the actual "edit" page. If I correct the spelling of the name on the "edit" page, the remaining case description info is not lost, but on the index, the mispelled name is still there.

Actually, it never get erased. The re-spelled name just goes to a new link; the original case description would still be there linked by the network of tags I create, but even then, it was just gone, but if I find any repeated cases, I just delete them and keep the best one.

I've been going by the spelling from: 1) close-captioning on the series and 2) the series list I was working from. It had a lot of typos on it, but still, it's tricky spotting the typos.

When Su's page went blank after I corrected her name, I looked for that, (new blank post, ready for info to be added, made under correct name spelling, with the old post and all info remaining under incorrect spelling) but that isn't what happened when I did Su's page and the other case.

On those two cases, (Su's and I forgot the other one, but I re-entered all the info on that one) once I corrected the names so that it would show up on the master list, their info was completely gone.

BTW, Thor, I can't thank you enough for the work you put into your wikia site. It's an amazing resource.

I know that it had to be a labor of love, since it you had to transcribe your handwritten notes, enter them onto disks, then travel to the library to get the info uploaded to the site.

Your dedication is greatly appreciated! :clap :clap: :yourock: :clap: :clap

I've added info to a lot of Wikia sites and I know a lot of tricks, such as paste and click the page before changing the link so i can repost it after.

I just created the sort of site I thought unsolved.com should have been. I mean, I've got three list of episode summaries I've printed from the net and even then, I tried to research the entries to "pad" them when they seemed light. Several Wikia sites, like for Lost and Harry Potter, have at least a dozen submitters going at one time. I'd like to think that eventually enough earnest people might be so inspired to polish up what I started.

I'm thinking of an Our Gang Wikia next; the sites out there for them are awful!

It's been over a year, but I'm back to updating the Unsolved Mysteries Wikia. I just added about 20 to 25 murder cases. When I get through converting cases from unsolved.com to the wikia, I'll be going over uncovered cases in the episode list, and don't forget, if you know of updates to a case, you can add them to the site.
