Amazing to find just how popular and widely discussed this show is - remember watching it on Sky as a kid in the 1990s and being scared half to death, yet coming back seven nights later without fail.

It's also interesting to look back on cases a second time with the persepective of an adult, since a child is naturally bound to gravitate towards the conclusion that the show itself would wish them to draw.

Quick question - one case that really creeped me out at the time (although in UM terms was not that horrific) was from circa 1993. It basically went:- woman meets guy working as 'supermarket butcher', they start dating and he's a saint, they get married and he turns a bit psycho. She runs away, only to be tracked down by a PI hired by her husband.

They later showed some of the re-enactment as part of the intro. Does anyone else remember this one and if the fella was caught or not?

Anyway, been reading on here for a week or so and seen some brilliant posts - so thanks for informing, educating and indulging my curiosity...

That case you mentioned sounds like Jim Burnside, who stabbed his wife Annette to death in the parking lot of her job and shot her male companion with a shotgun (he lived).

Not exactly as I remembered it, but it still made unsettling viewing watching again. Thanks for the pointer.
