Does anyone know if it was shown on SPIKE?

No, don't think so, justin. All the Spike segments seem to have counterpart files on the unsolved.com website, and Munday/Strickland isn't one of them (last time I checked, which was roughly a month ago. Then again, all I have is "circlestantive evidence" :) ).

Yeah, I didn't see it on the UM official site either. However, I have noticed cases on Spike that weren't on the UM site, so I guess we can't rule it out.

I was asking because I'm like 90 % sure the Strickland/Munday story never aired on Lifetime. Then I was watching it again yesterday and it dawned on me that maybe Lifetime didn't show it because Missy was a minor and was not charged along with Strickland. Just a theory.

Really? I was always under the impression that all the segments that have been "revamped" by Spike were all on the site. Interesting. Inconsistency tends to be a trend with Spike, though, I reckon.

One would think the Strickland/Munday segment would be one of those "Lifetime favorites" as it features an adolescent running off with some secretly devious, older man--it almost sounds like the basic plot of at least a quarter of the network's movies. :p I never thought to think of the minor theory, though. Sounds pretty plausible. Lifetime sure made some interesting decisions over the years. I remember the "Debbie" segment being mentioned in one of the "never shown on Lifetime" threads and an idea being tossed around that its depiction of supposed "female weakness" was the possible reason for its deletion. :eek:

I wouldn't have known it either. But one day I was looking for info on some Final Appeals and I realized that none of them were on the official site except for Darlie Routier. Go figure.

Yeah, that was a pretty horrific segment. I have often wondered if the violent nature kept it out of Lifetime's rotation. But I can think of other segments that are pretty violent though, so I don't know if that's the true reason. I always thought it was weird how Stack mentioned that we shouldn't focus on the race of the offender. I guess society was more racist back then.

Sorry for going off topic, but can anyone tell me what the "Debbie" case was?

I really hated Missy Mundae's mother, she was so annoying and didn't seem like a good mother to me.

To be honest everyone interviewed who had anything to do with Missy Mundae seemed to be on some kind of downers or something.

Missy's mother reminded me a lot of an actress that John Waters used in many of his early movies: Edith Massey. She even kind of sounded like her.

Were these two ever caught?

Yes. Jerry Strickland was given life sentences and Missy only had to serve a couple months in a juvenile home for testifying against him. In fact, the original update on this case has what may be the funniest moment in UM history as Jerry proclaims his innocence and says there's nothing but "circlestansive evidence" against him.

Bahahaha. I'll have to look for that!

That sucks that she only had to serve a few months when she was obviously a willing participant.

Yeah, I personally think Missy should have gotten much greater punishment than she did. I for the most part agree with the LE official who said near the end of the segment that she was just as guilty as Jerry was. She set up a man to be killed and had 100 chances afterward to do the right thing, and she never did. Sure, her age at the time of the crime should be considered, but I don't find it to be an excuse.

One interesting note is that Jerry Strickland is the guy RS refers to when he talks about the arrest where the criminal "proudly declared that Unsolved Mysteries was his favorite show." This came during the "150th Solve" feature where RS reviewed some of the more interesting captures and LL reunions.

I agree. She was basically "the getaway driver". She was just as guilty as he was. I wonder what she has been up to in life since she got out of prison?

Haha, that's pretty funny.

I, too, have often wondered what Missy Munday is up to these days. I did a google search a couple of years ago and didn't find much.

There was another thread where someone who claimed to know her actually posted. I don't remember what all they said, but a lot of it was self serving type stuff about how Missy is a good person now, and how terrible are we for talking about her.

She had a kid with Strickland when they were on the run. I wonder how the kid is now. I would imagine they would be in their late 20s.

LMAO @ how terrible we are for talking badly about Missy. Well, at least we didn't help kill someone!

I think Missy had two boys with Strickland.

I hope they didn't inherit their father's looks! :eek:

Jerry is looking a little pasty these days.

When I think of Misty's mother, all I can hear in my head is the double negatives she used when interviewed. I don't remember verbatim what she said on national television, but it was something like "and she wasn't no whore". Perhaps maybe when the segment aired, I was learning about this in grammar school, and that may be the reason I think about that still to this day.

If looking for Misty, try searching under the name Melissa. I believe that was her real name. Also, she was from Maryland, and not Michigan, as mentioned in the segment. ( I did locate her on facebook, and without question it is the correct person. However the last name has changed, and yes, she looks like she was able to live a normal life and raise a family. All things aside, she was fifteen when she met Jerry Strickland. Due to privacy, I won't share her name publicly but a good sleuth should be able to find it within thirty minutes).

And now I see why! I just googled it at work, and after clicking images, I realize now that it is NSFW.

However, I do not believe this erotic adult vampire is the same person. :lol:

Thanks...I just found it! Actually, if you look through the pictures, you can see one of them she is obviously w/ one of the sons she had with Jerry...he has the same exact eyes as Jerry. Funny!

Also, not that this has too much to do w/ this, but it looks like Elmer DeBoer's widow passed away in 2014, still living in Waterford, MI and still has the last name DeBoer:

http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/theoaklandpress/obituary.aspx?n=mary-alice-deboer&pid=171751004&fhid=13192

Yes! And the son obviously didn't take Jerry's name. It looks like he served our country in one of our wars as a soldier overseas. So tonight at least I'll go to sleep with a small feeling that good can come from bad. It also appears the mom had several kids, and turned out to be decent person.

I was explaining this case to someone today and obviously people have harsh feelings towards Missy. But she was fifteen when she met Jerry. Before the age of 18, she had two of his kids. We don't know what her life was like at home that prompted her to leave with Jerry, but something with her must have not been right.

We can not change what she did and the punishment she received. However as a society there's a glimmer of hope that people can change. I am sure she lives with her decisions each day.

I think they used footage from Strickland's arrest in the opening Credits of one the early Seasons?

Jerry is looking a little pasty these days.

And welcome! :wave:

My curiosity got the best of me so I looked for her on FB but no luck. Oh well.

I had a woman and her adult son apply for a rental with me a few months back. His last name was Munday and her name started with and M. My mind was running circles.

I may be the only one who wonders this...but I wonder if Jerry and Missy watched Wrestlemania 3 either at The Silverdome or at a local closed circuit location. They were in Pontiac in the early spring 1987.

I'm picturing them in the crowd watching Hogan slam Andre now, lol.

I just rewatched this case and its fascinating. A promising young student basically threw her life away for a scumbag. Having been a teenager myself once, I know they can be stupid, but come on!

I can picture Jerry jumping up and down pointing at the ring while arguing with other fans at the end of the British Bulldogs/Santana vs Hart Foundation/Danny Davis match saying, "The referee can't do nothin'. All he has is circlestansive evidence. Just hearsay. People talkin'. He didn't see the Harts use the megaphone. He can't disqualify 'em."

Those people were such trash! the whole lot of them.

The used car lot that they bought the pick-up truck at is still there. It's one of these two, not sure which. https://goo.gl/maps/wngtihBhoEvQ7nWj7

I lived just down the road from there in the 2010's, so it's the closest I've been to a UM filming spot.
