Well, I am doing more UM research and looking for some help with an airdate. There was a lost loves segment: William O'Neill searched for his biological father, Jim Burke. I believe this aired sometime during the 1992-1993 season.

When this segment aired on Lifetime (Stack episodes), it aired with a bunch of other random segments:

Lost Loves: Bill O'Neill is searching for his biological father, Jim Burke. Includes update. (Aired: ?)

Wanted: The body of 59 year-old RV dealer Neal Jennings is found ablaze in an Odessa, Texas trash fire in 1988. A former employee, Bill Roberts, is a suspect. (Aired: January 20, 1993)

Wanted: Gilbert Ortiz drinks a poisoned milk shake. His wife, Elizabeth Fuentes Ortiz, has fled and taken their 2 year-old son, Jonathan, with her. (Aired: November 25, 1992)

Wanted: Lyle Moody is wanted for the 1984 shooting of an Albuquerque police officer. (Aired: May 26, 1993)


Can anyone confirm the airdate for the Jim Burke segment? Could it have aired on the January 20, 1993 episode with the Neil Jennings segment? I know the update for the O'Neill segment aired in the fall 1993.


Also, when did the Lauren Jackson segment originally air? Lifetime used to air it with the segments from 2/2/1994. I know it did not originally air that day. Perhaps in one of the January 1994 episodes?

Also looking for the original airdate for some other random segments. These I believe all aired during the 1993-1994 season. Anyone have any ideas?

Armando Garcia (Aired on Lifetime with the segments from 10/27/93)

The Children of Faith Marie Brown (12/1/93, 1/5/94 or 1/12/94? The update aired on 3/16/94)

Tom Vaughn's search for a childhood friend (12/1/93 or 1/5/94? According to TV Guide, it seems like this one was postponed to the 1/5/94 episode; update aired 5/4/94)

The 1/5/94 episode is a mystery:

Jay Given
Update for Eva Shoen
What else?

The 1/12/94 episode is a mystery:

justins5256, thank you so much! This really does help! Thank you! :)

Currently, I am researching the 7th Season premiere episode from 9/25/1994. I am curious to know what episodes kicked off the season.

Many descriptions list it as "A seventh season opens with reports on the origins of the bizarre Ice Man creature, once exhibited at the 1968 Chicago Stock Fair; coincidences linking adoptees with their birth families; the probe into a biochemist's mysterious death in 1953."

I feel comfortable with the Ice Man and the biochemist, Frank Olsen. However, the adoptee links was postponed until 10/14/1994, I can confirm that as I have seen that episode.

On March 3, 1995, the episode repeated (for the most part) and an Alamo excavation update aired along with the Murder 101 class investigating the murder of Jian Fang. I know this segment was new on 3/3/95 as Robert Stack mentioned the class met in December 1994. It is this version that Lifetime used in repeats back in the day.

Any ideas of what else could have aired in the premiere??
