I've kind of been into the FBI Alerts with Revell and Sessions very recently. Just wondering, if anyone's interested, what're some of the (briefly) profiled cases that interested you, or were very memorable for you?

I'm fascinated by the Michael Cline case myself. He murdered his pregnant girlfriend Jo Ellen Weigel by tying her to a concrete block and drowning her in Missouri's Lake Winnebago in 1970. It is highly suspected he went to college under an assumed name in the mid-1970s and was/is working as a professional somewhere. I absolutely cannot believe someone who committed that kind of crime at that age could do so with such apparent expertise. I think that guy had to have gotten some help, unfortunately. :mad:

Does anyone else have a favorite FBI Alert?

I can't remember the guys name, but there was a fire at his house where everyone inside was killed but he was missing. The FBI concluded that the fire was deliberately set and they believed the guy to be a suspect in the case. Then they updated it and said they found his remains close to the house and that he died from gunshot wounds. It was re-aired on Lifetime (the only one that I can remember being re-aired at all) a couple of times towards the ends of the show. The reason this is my "favorite" is that it literally ran for 45 seconds before they updated it and the whole "segment" was no longer than a minute and a half. I remember watching it thinking it would be a normal 10 minute segment but then out of nowhere Stack yelled, "UPDATE" and I was like WTF?

I remember one similar to that. It was about shots being fired in a hotel parking lot and killing a man and it seemed like it would be a general segment. Then probably about 45 seconds later, "UPDATE!" with the scary "Duh duh!" music played. Glad it was updated, but still it gave me quite the surprise!

One of the more memorable ones for me is "where is Art Jones". If I recall he was a professional man whose house was leveled one night due to a gas leak. They had searched the area and found no trace of him. Not sure if they thought anything sinister went on but were probably more concerned he was wandering around with a head injury. I remember hearing where they eventually found his body close to a mile from his home and it had apparently been thrown that far as the result of the explosion. :(

I guess it was more of a "Special Alert" than an "FBI Alert", but "unidentified Grateful Dead" is definitely the king. It's amazing how so much discussion could be generated here about a segment that was only 50 seconds long.

That was the one I was referring to. I hadn't seen it in years so the details were a bit sketchy, but yeah Art Jones was the one they found quite the distance from his house. I always though the segment hinted at foul play, but again I may be totally wrong.
