Are there any rare segments from this show that people on this board haven't seen before? I was reading in a previous thread about Todd McAfee's case (which I haven't found online) and I'm assuming there's more that people have never seen before.

I'm curious as well. Would any kind soul care to upload some "fresh" clips to the secret place?

I haven't seen the UM segment on the "Springfield Three." It's supposed be very rare.

Really? I had no idea that UM ever profiled the case.

That's the case that involved a broken Front porch light...recent graduates...a Chain smoking mom that left behind cigarettes... correct?

It doesn't exist.

That's correct.

The rare segments I've always wanted to see (in the original RS versions) are:

Marlena Childress (barred from re-airing by the family's legal action)
Marilu Geri
Todd McAffee
Marisa Maugeri
Debi Whitlock
Walter Wenke and Ronald Denslow
Final Appeal: Paul Ferrell
Final Appeal: Steve Shores
Final Appeal: Dan Montecalvo
Final Appeal: Thomas Drake

Unfortunately, many of these probably won't ever be re-aired or posted anywhere.

Never seen the Final Appeal segments for Steve Shores, Rolando Cruz, Michael Lloyd Self, or Tony Miller (only seen the "150th Case Solved" update version of that one).

It's possible that The Springfield Three MAY have been briefly mentioned as part of an UM Special Alert, but they've never done a full segment on the case.

It doesn't exist.Really?

Some of the people in this thread claim it exists.

I do believe that it was a special alert. I do not remember a re-enactment. It was also on AMW.

Also StreeterFamilyblogg.blogspot.com Has info

I have always wondered about the Springfield Three segment. Are those who claim to be sure certain it was not another show they're confusing it with? I think that this case, if profiled on UM, should have been very lengthy and detailed, not a simple special alert. It was a shame they never did or only did briefly.

there's lots of people holding on to rare cases


like they don't even want them to be solved

I'm very skeptical of the "Springfield 3" segment ever airing on UM but someone who posted here in the past told me they had a copy of it and sent it to I believe someone researching it and they never returned it to her. Still in doubt whether it does exist but if so it is more likely maybe a quick Special Alert that never re-aired.

I remember watching it. It's also listed on unsolved mysteries.com as well as the wiki, and mentioned on the Springfield 3 info as being featured.

Until someone produces a tape of it or an airdate or some other crucial detail, I'll remain skeptical.

Since this board started, there have been people claiming that all kinds of cases were on UM and it's the same story every time: Someone will swear up and down that they saw this or that case on UM but offer no real proof other than a vague recollection.

Typically, the story in question is verifiable as having been a real case, and it almost always has been covered on some other show.

The details of these recollections are typically vague enough that other people who may have seen the story presented on other programs chime in and claim that they too saw the story on UM.

Of course, no one ever has a tape or they did but the tape was lost or recorded over, etc. Bottom line, no hardcore proof one way or another save a vague memory.

Sorry if this sounds so pessimistic but this happens all the time.

I like the idea of lost/rare UM segments. It's like, an unsolved mystery involving Unsolved Mysteries.

it was only aired as part of a special alert:

The Springfield 3 episode of Disappeared is on the forbidden site for anyone interested.

How about this for a kinda sorta lost segment?

I had never known about the "UPDATE" involving the Freedom 2's passengers alleged connection to a boat scam in Canada until I read about it here. Only then did I look for and find it on the forbidden site. So far as I know, this update didn't make it to Lifetime and I am not sure why.

On a somewhat related note, I loved the background music that was played in the beginning of the Freedom 2 segment, when you are seeing the pictures of the passengers and RS is explaining their backgrounds (the attempt to get a liquor license, how Suzanne married both men, etc.).

I have seen the Tony Miller segment in it's entirety just one time. It was around the start of the "reboot" on Spike with Farina as the host.

Wasn't there a segment on The Green River Killer? I could remember watching it "live" many years ago. I think they interviewed a man who suspected his brother of the killings. Or maybe that was a different show entirely.

No, you're correct. That episode did air on UM and the man was certain that his deceased brother was the killer.
http://unsolvedmysteries.wikia.com/wiki/Green_River_Killer

Incredibly, the guy still believes his brother had something to do with the crimes despite Ridgeway's confession and conviction.

A slight correction: The live episode you're thinking of was actually a special hosted by Patrick Duffy. The only live episode of UM I am aware of was the telecenter special.

The segment about the Brazos River attack is extremely rare, and I don't remember ever seeing it on Lifetime reruns.

The segment about the Brazos River attack is extremely rare, and I don't remember ever seeing it on Lifetime reruns.
It was aired in the Lifetime reruns, but not very often, if I recall correctly. I remember catching it once or twice when UM would play for two hours every afternoon.

I don't remember the name of the guy featured, but it was a Lost Heir case. It was a guy who lived alone in a small town and minded his own business. Then one day he passed away and when they started cleaning his apartment or hotel, I can't remember which. They found stacks of old coins, printed money, and bond notes (I think they were bond notes). I remember seeing once originally aired and then like the first 2 minutes on a Lifetime rerun before a blackout hit us and I missed the episode entirely. Would still like to know the guys name.

I recommend looking through the unsolved wiki. You may be able to find the correct case listed there. I think you're referring to Walter Green, but I may be incorrect.

I believe this is the case. I tried using google searches and never came up with anything from the unsolved wiki. Thanks for the links. I'd love to see this segment again or to even know if a legitimate family member was found. Only saw it once and it always left an impression on me.

Looks like they never found any relatives :( I would also like to see this one again. The story of his life was pretty interesting, seeing how he became a quiet recluse after not getting the girl of his dreams. I wonder if he came to America on his own and the remainder of his family stayed in Europe.

I would love to see this solved and see one of this relatives shed more light on his life before coming to America. Some men just give up on socializing after losing the girl of their dreams. It's quite possible. Some people from Europe came to America and would send money back to their families after WWII.

I may be wrong but it looks like other than Jeffrey MacDonald which was eventually integrated into UM proper, the other episodes in the "Final Appeal" spin off series only aired once and are hard to find. In fact, it looks like more people here even might be more familiar with the Farina versions.

The rare segments I've always wanted to see (in the original RS versions) are:

Marlena Childress (barred from re-airing by the family's legal action)
Marilu Geri

Any lucky UM fanatic lucky enough to of recorded this segments???

Marilu Geri and Debi Whitlock are currently on the Amazon streams.

There's no evidence to suggest Marisa Maugeri was ever featured on UM, even though I guess there's some people who think she was.

Walter Wenke and Ronald Denslow never had their own dedicated segments per se, but were part of a roll-call that followed a segment featuring some kind of con-artist. I forget who it was off the top of my head, but I do remember Denslow being part of said roll-call because he kind of resembles one of my uncles. :lol:

The Todd McAfee segment made the rounds on a certain video hosting site around '12 or '13.

I don't know of any of the Final Appeal episodes that have circulated about over the years except Paul Ferrell and Dan Montecalvo.

Any lucky UM fanatic lucky enough to of recorded this segments???

I acquired the Todd McAfee segment from a YT capture. I also have the Paul Ferrell Final Appeal episode but it has a watermark come and go throughout the episode. I'm still trying to find other Final Appeals and the Marlena Childress episode.

Any lucky UM fanatic lucky enough to of recorded this segments???

There are copies of the Stack NBC aired Marlena Childress, Marilu Geri, Todd McAffe, Walter Wenke and Ronald Denslow, Paul Ferrell, and Dan Monetcalvo segments circulating.

Debi Whitlock segment is on Amazon.

Marisa Maugeri segment doesn't exist.

Steve Shores and Thomas Drake were on the Farina episodes.

So, all of this stuff is pretty much available.

Paul Ferrell, Steve Shores, Thomas Drake, Dan Montecalvo are all available on YT or Prime on the Farina hosted episodes. Even Tony Miller (the full segment) and Glen Consagra are on there as well.

The rarest has always been the Todd McAfee segment. I've seen it 1 time when it was uploaded to YT years ago.

I’ve only seen the mcafee segment once. It is definitely rare. I think it was in 2014 online.

Because those segments were on the spin-off show "Final Appeal". To my knowledge, the only one that was shown on the Lifetime reruns with Stack was the Jeffrey MacDonald segment.

I have a few of these.

UM was before my time so I never saw the Tallman ghost segment, Marlena Childress, Tina Resch, Brazos River Attackers or Bonnie Wilder.

I was lucky to see Tara Calico, Wadada and the Bobbi Oberholtzer and Annette Schnee case on that forbidden site but I cannot locate the latter anymore, just had a desire to re-watch that one yesterday.

I will never understand why the McAfee segment was never re-aired after it's initial airing. To my knowledge, the police never closed the case.

Me neither, I just watched the case today for the first time and I can't think why it was never re-aired. Not a huge deal of the case online either, but might be because of how rare this segment was. Quite a shame.

It's on the forbidden site, I looked it up after some posters here let us know of it's current availability. I typed in 'Unsolved mysteries Todd McAfee'.

Update: the same uploader also has Marlena Childress so I'll catch that one tonight.

Maybe the witness that did not want to be identified was too worried about her face being shown in the segment and rather than reedit it they just pulled it?

I haven't seen the Laura Lee Burbank segment since it aired on NBC.

My understanding was that the interviewees had to sign waivers allowing the use of their image for the segments. I can't see them pulling it because of that. I can see them pulling it if law enforcement asked them to, but I don't know why law enforcement wouldn't have wanted it re-aired.

The footage of her was from her hypnosis though, so I wonder if they got the footage from the person who performed it and she either didn't know or expected them to blur it since she said she did not want to be identified.

LE probably provided that footage, so if she complained to them about it they may have requested UM pull it.

That's annoying because I remember distinctly that Lifetime aired the Tarisita Basa segment pretty much every day.

Speaking of which, isn't the man that killed her a free man these days?

Sigh. According to the UM wiki page, he's been a free man for 36 years now...

Despite his confession, Allan Showery pleaded not guilty to Teresita's murder. When a mistrial occurred, he decided to plead guilty on February 23, 1979, receiving only a fourteen-year sentence for his cold blooded crime. He was released on parole in 1983.

Ever since the segments have been moved to Amazon Prime and given text updates, my eyes have been opened to the disturbingly high number of horrible people who spent little time in prison and are free today. It's pretty sickening.

very weird i have never seen this segment, i thought of had to watched every one 2-10 times- i have rather a large collection.

Could the family have asked for the segment to be pulled?? That would be equally puzzling, but a bit more plausible (as LE would still have interest in seeing the case solved).

This also brings to mind the 'Orange Socks' case out in CO (another one that was pulled, even though the case wasn't solved).......

The segment about the murder of Julie Cross is rare I think.

The Nanny of Jackie Cooper. Have never seen it available in any trades or even back when uploaders were putting pretty rare segments on YouTube.

I totally agree with this. What's even weirder is that some people spent way more time in prison for robbery, fraud, etc. than others did for horrible violent crimes including kidnapping and murder.

I just don't get it. :(

The McAfee episode was on court Tv mystery Channel this afternoon. They have aired the Drake episode twice recently as well.

Really?! Was this the Farina rebooted version or the original Stack segments? I definitely saw the Drake segment on the Farina reboot but have never heard of them reairing the McAfee segment.

It was the Farina reboot.

I can't find any mention of the Todd McAfee segment re-airing on Farina/Spike UM.

Do you mean Todd Mueller?

Pretty sure it was mcafee. It's possible I was wrong. I noticed it because it was an episode I'd never seen, which is rare. I watch every afternoon that I'm home.

Could you describe what was shown in the segment? It could have been McAfee because the Farina reboot also aired the Tony Miller segment in its entirety and I was lucky enough to catch it on DVR one day (it's now on Youtube as well).

The Nanny of Jackie Cooper. Have never seen it available in any trades or even back when uploaders were putting pretty rare segments on YouTube.

I actually have this whole episode on DVD. It was one of those segments I never thought I'd see and wasn't even expecting when I did that trade.

It's a very touching story. Jackie was about five when Ella worked for her family in Georgia in the 1940s. She talks about how the two would take the bus and how white people would glare at Ella because she got to sit at the front of the bus since Jackie was with her and how she couldn't understand why she and Ella had to drink from separate fountains at the local park.

I always thought it was sweet how they show Jackie's sketch of what Ella looked like from memory since no photos of her existed from her brief time as Jackie's nanny.

Could you describe what was shown in the segment? It could have been McAfee because the Farina reboot also aired the Tony Miller segment in its entirety and I was lucky enough to catch it on DVR one day (it's now on Youtube as well).

Honestly, no. I looked up when the segment was being introduced. That's how I caught his name. I realized I had not seen the segment and intended to watch it, but got caught up in something I was looking at online and missed it. I know it was mcAfee in the intro. Because that had my attention long enough for me to catch the name and realize I hadn't seen it. I remember it was a blonde guy who worked on a farm.

I can't find his name on the episode list for the Farina/Spike episodes. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean he wasn't featured.

Has anybody here watched all of the Farina episodes on Youtube?

The Nanny of Jackie Cooper. Have never seen it available in any trades or even back when uploaders were putting pretty rare segments on YouTube.
I have the Julie Cross and Nanny of Jackie Cooper segments. If their was a place to share them with people I would.

i've only seen the Sherri Eyerly case twice in my life. She was the young woman who was covering for another employee as a pizza delivery driver. She was sent out to an addresse that didn't exist. She ended up being murdered.

mcafee segment is on the forbidden site, fyi.

I've been searching and searching for the Special Bulletins Cases from the December 1, 1995 episode (Jessyca Mullenberg and Ronald Bax segments).

What I wouldn't give for those segments... Or the full episode itself...

Anyone?

Robert Stack did a face to face interview with Jennifer Pratt, the girl that got hit with a plank of wood. I only seen it once years ago, never again.

Other then that I know there was an extended cut of the Alcatraz special.

I don't think any recordings exist of that era. In fact, not many original recordings exist after season 7. If they did they would have surfaced after all these years. I guess when the show was cancelled by NBC and then picked up by CBS most people either didn't know or by that point had lost interest.

Is the Wanda Jean Mays segment rare? That one was shown in an episode hosted by Carl Malden.

Not exactly sure when she joined the show but she doesn't appear in the first episode of season 10.

I had forgotten about the CBS run LOL

I'm surprised not a single Virginia Madsen episode has made its way to YouTube.

My own personal memories of her short time on the show; per episode, Stack would host and narrate two segments and Virginia would cover the other two. And she did a good job. But by the time the show was on CBS, I was in high school. And since UM was now airing on Friday night instead of Wednesday, I was never home to watch it because I was always out with friends doing typical teenage shenanigans.

It would be a treat to see one of the episodes now.

I found the elusive Virginia Madsen episodes. They're not on the forbidden site. A search for Virginia Madsen Unsolved Mysteries led to a Reddit post from a month ago with a link to an archive with five of the six episodes.

Hello! I regularly read posts on this board and I'll try to post more often. Hopefully that's enough information to find the episodes. I remember this season, but I believe the episodes only aired once.

What a find—thank you!

Personally, I think the CBS/Lifetime episodes are underrated. Sure, the production values are lower, but the renewed focus on crime/missing persons cases was refreshing, and the limited episode runs resulted in fewer, better stories. (The celebrity/movie tie-in segments and other filler fluff from the late NBC years got old very quickly.)

Yes, thank you!

Sadly, only half the links are working. The other half are audio only. I've tried it using Chrome and Firefox. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, nothing really good in the two episodes that did stream properly. The segments worth watching are available elsewhere, in proper quality (and with Stack replacing Madsen's narration, I believe). What was left over was just awful paranormal/psychic garbage.

The most interesting takeaway for me was the theme music. I don't recall it whatsoever, but I was working 4-5 jobs when these aired and had no time for TV.

I had similar results when using Chrome and Firefox; however, I tried using the Safari browser on my phone and the links worked properly. I’m sorry I didn’t catch that issue sooner. The first video worked when I found the archive and I assumed the others wouldn’t have any issues.

I stumbled across some of these episodes that were on the forbidden site right before the great filmrise release of 2017. I think that was the year anyway...

the Virginia Madsen segment that I always remember is "Party time in Tijuana"

I could be wrong, but she may have also narrated the Amy Bechtel segment which is one of my most memorable segments from the newer seasons.

A rare segment for me was the Todd McAfee segment. MegTheEgg got me onto that one as I didn't see it before. It is such a scary segment the way he drives onto his home in the reenactment. and the composite sketch of the lady...imprinted into my mind forever.

That is an underrated segment but I understand why it only aired once. The segment shows the sketch of the woman and a description of the people seen with her...but the prime suspect/s in the case were Todd's housekeeper and her husband (both black). IIRC they were charged but the chargers were later dropped due to lack of cooperation from one of the witnesses.

Basically anything not on the Filmrise segments that hasn’t been uploaded from an old tape from a YouTuber. The OJ Simpson segment for example

yes it is a chilling segment. I did not know that there were suspects who were charged.

They arrested a man who was in possession of a stolen gun that was taken from Todd's trailer in the early 90's. This guy claimed that the housekeepers' husband sold him the gun. Not mentioned on UM (shocker) the orange van seen outside of Todd's trailer had a distinct plywood top. The cops found the van at a junkyard. The junkyard owner said the housekeeper's husband sold it to him. Based off of this information, the housekeeper was indicted and charged for first degree murder in 1994 (https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/2012/08/19/25-years-after-todd-mcafee-slaying-hope-lingers/29115857007/). I think they thought she would make some sort of a deal and flip on her husband (who was already in jail serving time for stolen property). She never did and the case was dropped and they haven't done anything since.

The junkyard owner said the housekeeper's husband sold it to him. Based off of this information, the housekeeper was indicted and charged for first degree murder in 1994 (https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/2012/08/19/25-years-after-todd-mcafee-slaying-hope-lingers/29115857007/). I think they thought she would make some sort of a deal and flip on her husband (who was already in jail serving time for stolen property). She never did and the case was dropped and they haven't done anything since.
sounds like that case could/should have been solved then. yikes.
