From Special 1 (the only UM episode hosted by Raymond Burr), the case featuring the murder of Roger Wheeler Sr., owner of World Jai Alai, featured 2 other murders. The second murder,the murder of crime figure Brian Halloran and Michael Donahue, a construction worker, who was going to give Halloran a lift home, ocurred on May 11 1982, in the Waterfront District of Boston. The main suspect in all the 3 murders: Whitey Bulger.

Yes, you are correct, the first Zip Gun bomb exploded, and sadly, a high school counselor, Joan Kipp, 54, was killed in her home in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn New York on May 7th. 1982, the Friday before Mothersī Day of that year.

Happy 2011 everybody!! Yes, the Texas UFO sighting involving Betty Cash, Vickie and Colby Landrum took place on December 29th. 1980. Meanwhile the Bentwaters sighting (Bentwaters was an USAF base in England during the Cold War) ocurred on December 26th. 1980.

I also thought about the NH serial killer case, specially his first victim Cathy Millican, but she was murdered on October 24th. 1978, and the next murder atributted to the NH serial killer, that of Elizabeth Critchley ocurred on August 9th. 1981, with no murders atributted to the psycho during 1980, at least according to the UM segment.

No. That happened in 1990.

O.K., nobody seems to be getting this one so I'll just tell it. March 15, 1989 was when Tracey Kirkpatrick was stabbed to death in Frederick, Maryland. The case is still unsolved but many still believe that the police officer who discovered her body, Don Barnes Jr., is the killer.

Many here most likely already know the story of me emailing back and forth with Don's daughter who told me she was convinced her dad was the killer but then I never heard from her again after I mailed her a copy of the Unsolved Mysteries segment. A few months ago, I spoke on the phone with the chief of police in Frederick. Very nice guy. He asked if he could read the emails from the daughter just to save in his file. I was happy to forward them to him.
