I was watching this one on Spike recently. He's the unknown man going by a few soap opera names such as "Tom Hughes" and would check into hospitals and then leave without paying the bill. I remember in the original airing it said it was thought he could have had an addiction to pain pills. His family called in and did identify him shortly afterwards. I found it interesting on Spike that Dennis Farina said they know believe he could have had Munchhausen Syndrome and thats why he perpetrated these scams.

It appears that Munchausen Syndrom and Munchausen By Proxy are more common than we think.:eek:

Nice to hear that Spike added some "original" content to this episode aside from the heavy metal music.

LOL. I am glad the added the part where Bob Bean shoots down the hitman theory in the Sammy Wheeler case. This is missing from the lifetime version.

I saw that on NBC many moons ago. I remember watching the episode on Lifetime and waiting to see that scene, but they always cut it.

How come this case isn't on the Unsolved web site? I couldn't find any information about the case

I think that a lot of the cases shown on Spike aren't on the UM website. For example, none of the Final Appeal stories are there with the exceptions of Darlie Routier and Paul Freshour and they categorize them as either "unexplained death" or "wanted" (not sure which) on the website.
The website also has stories that weren't shown on Spike, like Jack Lutter.
I'm not sure why the website is set up this way. It would be awesome if they had listings for every case.
