Amazon has just released Season 3 of Unsolved Mysteries. It contains 22 episodes. Let the binge watching begin again!!!!

Beat me to it!

I saw a little while ago that the section was up but was empty. Now it isn't. :D

Is episode 2 missing for anybody else?

It skips from Episode 1 to Episode 3 though :/

Well, that answers that.

Awesome!!! Thanks for posting this!

Wow. I'm surprised how quickly the seasons are coming out between each other.

Is episode 2 missing for anybody else?

I have to assume this is just some kind of loading error. Since the episodes don't maych excatly anyway, why would they just omit it? :confused:

But for all of us? Maybe they forgot to add it?

I see all 3 seasons on my Amazon account ... with that being said, I'm off for the next 3 days so I know what I'll be doing ��

I don't even have season 1 done yet. LOL

Oh dear god, they have that freak arsonist who filmed his crime & talking crazy in episode 1 of season 3. I will be skipping that segment. I watched that once & vowed never to watch it again. LOL

Is there anyway to get these on DVD or just streaming? (Sorry if someone has already asked this)

Streaming on Amazon Instant Video only. You can purchase them through Amazon and put them on disc if you want to though. It's perfectly legal to do so if you purchase the "license" to them.

Yes, Omar Arsonist. My childhood has come full circle

I had no idea that the TK Hardy/John Mooney/Elmo Florence case inadvertently led to a Lost Loves case. One of the guys who informed on John Mooney and was interviewed on UM was seen on TV by his ex-girlfriend who he unknowingly had a kid with 30+ years prior. His ex and his daughter were looking for him for well over a decade with no leads and then he just popped up right on TV. Sad part is that if Mooney would have never hired Florence to kill Hardy, then the informant would have likely never even knew he had a daughter. Unreal.

Still annoyed I can't access them due to my location.

So...I looked on the unsolved wiki and it says the "orange sock murders" are in season 2, but episode 31 or something like that, and this stops at 22...so, wondering if it's actually season 4?

On a side note, I have found myself, as soon as the seasons come out, just starting each episode and watching the beginning with the previews of each case...as some of these titles leave me baffled and then I see that it is actually a case I love. , IE. Season 3, "Death by Drowning"...for the life of me I couldn't think of what case this would be..but then, upon watching the preview, it's the "Debbie Wolfe" case. I never would have guessed!

I had literally never seen this segment before so I was surprised and what a unique one.

Maybe it was never shown before because the acting the so bad in the reenactment. Seriously, it could go on the worst acting thread.

I'm seeing a few cases I haven't seen in ages, like the ghost who appears before a hurricane strikes and the carpenter who built the staircase. Glad to see Dark Dante is one this one too.

Speaking of trying to figure out the titles, I kept trying to figure out what "The Real Twin Peaks" meant. It sounded intriguing and then I saw it was that one where the twins could sense when something was wrong with one another.

It looks like the Tony Alamo episode is missing. That was an interesting case, it's a shame that episode is missing.

Even now, watching the Omar the arsonist case is scary AF. I remember when I was younger being scared out of my mind by that guy.

It is funny how much they played up the satanic angle. "They also found a small skull, which indicated possible satanic activity..." Really? There was also that subtle hint about the "heavy metal music cassettes" and the possible link to satanism. Oh, the 80s...

I did think it was interesting that one of the arsonists (I'm guessing the guy on the tape) was committed to a state mental hospital. That dude obviously needed help.

please tell me they didn't skip the Tony Alamo case.

So...I looked on the unsolved wiki and it says the "orange sock murders" are in season 2, but episode 31 or something like that, and this stops at 22...so, wondering if it's actually season 4?

Should that say season 3 episode 31?

If you look at a full episode guide of the original broadcasts from season 3, there were a lot of repeated segments from earlier broadcasts from all of the prior seasons. I'm guessing part of the editing being done to make them available on Amazon will strip out those repeats. No sense in having the same segments up multiple times. So, it's possible the orange sock murders will be in those episodes just not in specifically episode 31.

Edited to add: I don't currently see anything that matches the orange sock murders by name, but some of the segments have odd names.

Oh dear god, they have that freak arsonist who filmed his crime & talking crazy in episode 1 of season 3. I will be skipping that segment. I watched that once & vowed never to watch it again. LOL

I love this one, I think the guy is hilarious.

When I first got a DVR I recorded the extended Cold Case Files version of the story and I've never been able to bring myself to delete... his other videos (some of which are excerpted there) are slightly disturbing. The Omar Arsonist one cracks me up though.

I'd love to see the Cold Case Files version. I'll have to check the forbidden site to see if it's there.

He was messed up but his voice never scared me because he sounded like a kid.

Yea, I remember thinking that there was probably much more on those videos that they didn't show us. Didn't he torture and kill animals as well?

The official word from UM facebook is that FilmRise and Amazon are working to fix the problem with the missing episode

I haven't signed up for an account yet. Can we get a complete list of which season 3 segments are featured and which ones are missing?

That one is so creepy, I just watched it last night. But just imagine how creepy it would have been for the poeple who originally found the tape and popped it in their VCR wondering what was on it

Just watched the Richard Church segment for the first time in a very long time. I've seen a taped version of this one so many times--grainy picture and all--and I have never found it as terrifying as I did tonight. For some reason, I found the crisper film and music a MILLION times more frightening. It completely scared the **** out of me. I promise you I'll have "By 5:25, they were both dead" floating through my head when I get up for work in my dark house tomorrow. :eek:

And he still looks creepy

LOL!

I think what makes this one so creepy is it plays the " happy reunion" music in the beginning, and the lighting when Rick is chasing Colleen down the street. This one always stuck with me

https://i.imgflip.com/bwdlf.gif

I always thought the actress playing Colleen did some very convincing screams of terror when she's being chased down the driveway. Also when the neighbors come to her aid and she jumps because she thinks she's going to get attacked again. Kudos to her. I've seen weaker performances in horror movies that didn't even come close to this. That's how you're going to sound if someone's chasing you with a knife.

And the 'thump thump' music. We heard short versions of it in other segments. But this was the only time they played it in its entirety. And it gets louder...and louder...and louder and very unsettling.

On a side note, as pointed out in the location thread, UM filmed the reenactment at the actual Ritter home. So the stabbing of Colleen's brother at the top of the staircase and her escaping out the back kitchen door was accurate to the note.

:eek:
Thanks Dynoguy for scaring the crap out of me!

Wow, i didn't know they actually filmed it in the Ritter home. I hope Colleen and her brother have gone on to lead happy, productive lives.

On a happier note- Robert Stack with Doggies!!!! :heart:

I love you Filmrise!

I'm getting a little annoyed by the missing cases and in this instance missing EPISODE :|

:eek: Wow, i didn't know they actually filmed it in the Ritter home. I hope Colleen and her brother have gone on to lead happy, productive lives.

In the 'Where are they now' thread, it's mentioned that as of a few years ago, Colleen and her brothers still lived in the general area...about 15-20 miles away from Woodstock. She got married and was teaching Computer Applications classes at a high school. But nothing else is known and this was several years ago. Plenty of things could have changed since then.

I have no doubt that she's doing alright. She was one of the strongest interviewees UM ever featured. Even before Rick was captured, she said in the segment that he's already taken so much from her and she's not going to let him destroy her life any more than he already has.

I had no idea that the TK Hardy/John Mooney/Elmo Florence case inadvertently led to a Lost Loves case. One of the guys who informed on John Mooney and was interviewed on UM was seen on TV by his ex-girlfriend who he unknowingly had a kid with 30+ years prior.

I have the NBC episode with this update on a VHS.

Still annoyed I can't access them due to my location.

Me too, because you could be providing us with some kick-ass memes from all these episodes.

This particular segment could've been ripped right out of a classic eighties horror flick, it's that good! In fact there are a number of segments that Cosgrove-Meurer deserve particular credit for in terms of their production quality. "Richard Church", "Son Of Sam" and "Richard Minns" were all fantastic production pieces.

Haha thanks!

I am amazed at the quality of some of these episodes, especially 25 years later. The hairdo's and clothing nonwothstanding, most of these stand the test of time

Can anyone tell me if the Ohio Prostitute Killer segment is in any of the three seasons released by Amazon?

The murders in and around Chillicothe? No these are old episodes.

Definitely not what they're asking about. This is:

Thank you. I don't remember this case, so it was good to read about. I'm on episode 19 and have not seen it yet

http://unsolvedmysteries.wikia.com/wiki/Ohio_Prostitute_Killer
This case first aired on February 19, 1992 in Season 4. It will probably get released to Amazon Video next season. I say probably instead of definitely because Amazon has been releasing cases in different seasons (ex. Charles Morgan and Lester Garnier) or not releasing cases at all (ex. The Countess, Melody Martin, Jim Fontes and that's just Season 3 off the top of my head!!!!)

Don't forget the Rudolf Hess one. Generally their historical cases like Hess, Roswell, Flight 19, Doc Noss, and Amelia Earhart were top notch production.

Your avatar is terrifying!! Church has a much more frightening mug in middle age than he did as a teenager.

He doesn't have that smug look anymore. Just evil now.

I never found the Richard Church segment 'scary,' but I tend to be less creeped out by the depictions of identified killers—it's when they're strangers that it always seems to get to me. The Church case didn't really scare me because it was someone close to the family and so much of the circumstances were already known.

That said, I've always remembered the segment because it was one of the most well-done ones. Convincing acting and really top-notch cinematography.

He doesn't have that smug look anymore. Just evil now.

He is pure evil. I looked through some articles covering his trial, and I saw zero evidence of remorse on his part.

Another thought I had is the "I'm sorry if I inconvenienced you" meme would be scary as hell if the picture was his middle-aged mugshot.

Yes! Exactly this! The scariest stories to me were ones where as found murdered and there was very little info about who was responsible or how it happened. Diana Shawcroft and Jennifer Lueth comes to mind here. There's has the extra layer of creepy because the memorial at the site where the bodies were found was vandalized and very possibly by the killer because of how remote the site was. Tim Molnar is another one. He disappeared from Florida and was missing for over 10 years. Then, due to a UM rerun, the person who discovered his remains in Wisconsin a decade earlier (shortly after he disappeared) called the telecenter. So, how did he get from Florida to Wisconsin and how did he die. No cause of death was determined when his remains were found. Maybe he wasn't murdered, but it seems fishy that he'd disappear like that and then be found dead.

I also have a strong interest in missing person scenarios when there is most likely foul play even if there is a strong suspect, because there's still some mystery to it in figuring out what happened. Cases like Charlotte Pollis, Christi Nichols, Lisa Marie Kimmell, Amy Bechtel, etc fall into this category.

I'm still stuck in Season 2. I feel like I'm slacking.

Season 2?!? That's so yesterday. Get with the times, man! :lol:

I just noticed that in the Steve Wilson segment, one of the law enforcement officers interviewed had a missing poster of Michaela Gatecht posted behind his desk in his office

Season 2?!? That's so yesterday. Get with the times, man! :lol:

:lol: Well I'm not even done with season 1... :lol:

I feel like segments are missing. I swear some episodes seem older than others that aren't on Amazon yet. Were any left out?

Season 3 is damn good.

I have no firsthand input on this given that I was three months old when the season first aired, but I can say that while watching the episodes on Amazon, I noticed shifts in sound/background noise during some of the intros that seemed to suggest there were edits made. I'm not sure what that signifies, but it seemed obvious to me. You'd have to match it to a VHS rip of the original airings to really know.

The fact that the UM streaming content does not accurately represent the episodes as originally broadcast is likely not due to some oversight or error. Many of the segments that have been omitted thus far have been cited as being the subject of either legal or royalty issues in the past. For example the first "Lost Loves" case ever broadcast was of a woman named Janet Parker O'Regan who was looking for her long lost father. UM helped her locate the family of her father (who was deceased) but the family in question requested UM not rebroadcast the segment as they didn't want the fact that Janet's father had a child out of wedlock to be publicized. Throughout the run of the series, various individuals profiled would also take issue with the way they were portrayed in various segments and the result would be that their segments were pulled from contention in terms of syndication and now likely streaming packages.

Likewise this would be as good of place as any to restate that there are probably any number of cases that have been pulled from the streaming package for reasons we aren't privy to. The ones we know about date from contemporary articles on the subject matter. There are likely other segments that aren't allowed to be assimilated into the streaming package for reasons that were never publicized.

I feel like they agreed to be on the show, so they dealt with the legalities back then. They shouldn't get to come back and say Don't use the thing i participated in.

Well for example, the Kenneth Robert Stanton episode (serial child molester) I thought that was a newer episode turns out it's on Season 3.. I figured it be on season 5 or so. The orange socks segment also seemed to be an early one & its still not up. Maybe I just don't know my episodes & when they aired :)

That one is bound to be in the next season. In a book I have involving the case, it mentioned that one of the reenactment filming days was recorded ten years to the hour of when Annette went missing. The actors, director and crew even had a moment of silence before they began work.

Mathematically, that would put it in season four.

Omg omg omg - twirls around incoherently

I was missing the board so I came to check in and chat and I see this!! OMG LOL

Omgggggg I just saw today that Season 3 is now here. I have been watching it all night, I lived off this show when I was a kid. Talk about nostalgia.

The 2 episodes that scared me the most were the episodes about the couple that lived in the haunted house outside of Houston that was built over the Black Hope Cemetery and the Circleville letters episode.

It was funny seeing the Lost Dutchman's Mine episode because my mom ended up moving across the country and right next to the Superstition Mountains, she actually works at the Superstition Mountains' museum and she was just telling me about how inaccurate UO's version of events is. Really fascinating to me.

Also I am having a full circle moment because I live in SoCal and I have been meaning for ages to have my mom and I stay aboard the Queen Mary..... My mother is planning a trip out here for the summer and we weren't sure where in SoCal we wanted to travel to and then I see the Queen Mary episode on UO and it made a light bulb go off. So that's where we're going to go. It's going to be so funny because I remember watching that episode decades ago and I would have never imagined that I'd actually go there one day.

Love the Gregory Barker super spy tidbit.

Not a massive fan of the episode info section on Amazon but the "Down & Out" mention for the Adam Hecht case was pretty sweet, an obvious reference to the movie "Down and Out in Beverley Hills> :lol:

There are just some episodes I can't watch. I had to skip over the dog kennel arson segment. 20+ years later and that one still upsets me.

...and still no episode 2 in season 3.

...and still no episode 2 in season 3.

According to the official UM Twitter page, this is an error that they are trying to correct with Amazon. So Episode 2 does exist -- it just isn't loaded yet for some reason. Hopefully it will be soon.

ME TOO! :(

These are really good episodes. They're also a reminder of what hairstyles never need to be popular again (aka Tracy Kirkpatricks mom's mullet)

YES but nothing beats Cheryl Hines-I mean Marie Hilley's beautiful wigs....although I think she comes a season later?

I believe, Orange Sock Murders was originally a late season 3 (1990-1991) episode. As it aired on television, season 3 had over thirty episodes and ran fairly far into 1991. I think this originally aired in mid-spring of 1991.

It's ingrained in me now. I see Marie Hilley's name and I immediately say out loud, "Fraaaannnk... ya gotta eeeaaaat!"

I keep meaning to e-mail that particular actress, even though she's a professor of law now, and tell her what a badass she was in that segment...

episode 2 is now available

episode 2 is now available

Awesome -- thanks for letting us know! :)

I wonder why they cut out the part in the Adam Hecht segment where supposedly the brother or Stack says that the brother ran into Tony after Adam's disappearance and Tony said something along the lines of, "If you want to find Adam, look on the streets."

Maybe that was added on a rerun of the segment?

Are you sure about Episode 2? Still missing for me

It aired on May 1, 1991. As far as I can tell, none of the segments from that episode have made their way to Amazon yet. Amazon seems to go up to April 24, 1991 for Season 3. All segments from May-early September 1991 have not been included yet, except for Lester Garnier which was included in Season 1 on Amazon.

I never thought the Omar segment was frightening at all. The person's voice just sounds like some young guy doing bad acting. Laughing at something burning just doesn't seem chilling to me. Whenever that one was played in syndication I found it dull. Coincidentally I've lived in the same city where the fire occurred.

There was no question the kid was disturbed. But I agree. His voice never scared me because he always sounded like a kid. Give that commentary to a man with a much lower Darth Vader like voice and I'd probably have some goosebumps.

"Good luck on your math test!"
My favorite part of that is the actor nailed how many in Chicagoland would say "math," with the vowel sound dragged out perfectly.
As for the Ohio cases, I don't remember Chillicothe ever being featured, although Circleville is less than 20 miles north of there. The opening of the prostitute killer segment took place only 14 miles east of where I live, and I once worked at the Newark newspaper seen in the segment. My dad used to take that exact exit headed to work at the Air Force base in Heath.

Mine too. I crack up everytime I watch it.

UM would often try to pull local talent for its reenactments as well, so chances are pretty good the actor was a native.

Isn't the KRoQ confession episode supposed to be in Season 3? It's not here

Oh! First, yes on the Chicagoland accent because I am just too familiar with it.

And! In the Kecksburg UFO segment, I was watching/listening while working and had to look up when I heard the VERY distinctive voice of one Don Brockett, aka Chef Brockett to you Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood fans.

Kecksburg is outside of Pittsburgh, where Mr. Rogers' show was produced - and Fred Rogers and gang lived. Also! Brockett and fellow Mr. Rogers alum Charles Aber were also in Silence of the Lambs, which shot in and around Pittsburgh as well.

And there's your Pittsburgh actor trivia for today. :wave:

My wife is a SAHM to our 2 year old son. She also runs a small side business making crafts for people. She mostly does custom vinyl signs, t-shirts, and paper products (cards, banners, etc). She's usually working on crafts in the evening while I spend time playing with my son. Thankfully, unlike my best friends daughter whose the same age as my son, not all of the games he wants to play involve me chasing him. Since he doesn't care what's on TV, I have UM running while we're playing (or Doctor Who, or Batman 66).

Isn't the KRoQ confession episode supposed to be in Season 3? It's not here

Yep, it should be but it's not. What's also interesting is that they never made a Farina version of this case either, which I guess I can understand as it was later determined to be a hoax. However, the original segment should be included for completeness. After all, these are being presented as "complete seasons".

10 bucks says they won't include the 'L'Enfant' segment when they get to that season, either.

Dumb and Dumber. They still enjoy their radio career to this day for that stunt they pulled.

Can I just say that I wish you posted more often siamesemeg. You seem to always have great info to share. :D

Oh man. You made my week. :cheer:

Is it just me? I expected to see a bunch of episodes that I have never seen. But I guess six years of recording the lifetime reruns religiously prevented that. It is amazing to see the episodes in such high quality, but I thought I would run across more new episodes. I love the fact that the original episodes are so readily available, but I expected to see more episodes that I've never seen.

I'm still on the first season, but I'm shocked that so far almost every single segment is one that I've seen a bunch online already... I never had tapes or DVDs of original episodes so I was thinking there would be a load I didn't know but so far, nope.

For me, we're still in territory where I watched the original broadcast of almost everything we've seen. I watched fewer of the original broadcasts starting in 1993-94. But, after years of Lifetime viewing, I've seen a lot of segments.

One thing of note, starting in season 3, they began filling time by repeating segments from earlier episodes within "new " episodes. So, that may be the source of some of this too.

Oh man. You made my week. :cheer:

They've already proven their PR of "complete seasons" was bull**** - and you're probably right about L'Enfant.

Not just you. I also expected to see more segments that I hadn't seen before (or at least had not seen in a long time). I am almost finished with season 3 and I've come across very few segments that I had not seen before and most of these are "Lost Love" cases which I notice were not as prevalent on the uploads that were once available on the forbidden site. Actually most of these I've seen multiple times before they were pulled from the forbidden site. I had only seen the Adam Hecht segment maybe once or twice and it was a long time ago, so it was nice to catch that one! Also, last night I saw the Patti Stallings case for the first time on UM, although I want to say I've seen in on Forensic Files (or a similar show) before.

Any news on a release date for season 4? I hope it's soon as I am on episode 21 of season 3 right now. I joined Amazon Prime just for Unsolved Mysteries!

Just curious - is anyone running across segments they haven't seen before (besides Lost Loves)?

There were a few "lost treasure" cases I hadn't seen before.

Not sure on season 4 as they haven't been announcing release dates in advance. I'm kind of functioning under the assumption that they get posted as soon as they are ready (aka updates and edits are finished).

Agree, love siamesemeg's posts. :)

It's the glasses that put him over the top (though the beard didn't help). Why did they all wear those glasses?

Now that I think about it, the Pina Colada Song guy would make a great avatar, too.

I see Annette Bening in mine lol.

So I fell asleep watching season 3 and I woke up to Ruth Morgan citing eeeccleeesiassteees 12..1-8. it spooked the you know what out of me and I could not go back to sleep.

I've had to institute a No UM After Dark policy for myself lately. And that means no true crime stuff, either. Or I just lie there and think about Dave Bocks...:eek4:

When I was younger, I used to put in one of the discs of the Bizarre Murders collection and just let it run on the menu screen all night while I slept because the menu played the theme music in the background. Sleeping to the Unsolved Mysteries music used to incite some very "interesting" dreams.

I have to admit.. I have a few pairs, and still wear them.

Definitely! I have 4 pairs with 4 different frame designs.

Usually I am fine with the after dark thing. although in its hey dey UM being prime time did get to me a lot. I often had to pick and choose my battles wisely or I would be up all night.

periodically i'll come across something that wakes me up. The Charles morgan case probably woke me because I was highly anticipating it. it's still one of the strangest/creepy cases every shown.

I stopped falling asleep with UM on in the background when I was jolted out of a sound sleep by the sound of a woman screaming bloody murder.

It was the Crystal Spencer segment and I had a hell of a time going back to sleep after that... :eek:

What's the Crystal Spencer episode called?

What's the Crystal Spencer episode called?

On Amazon, it's just called "Crystal." It's on season 3 episode 20 with Edgar Cayce and War of the Depues.

To see these we just have to sign up for prime?

I'm not sure if you can buy the season but yes, I have basic prime student and get the seasons :) :)

Anyone know when season 4 will be available???

I just looked at the UM facebook and someone asked this question yesterday, and they said "2-3 weeks." I can't believe we still have to wait that long...I feel like it should be about already out. Also, they answered a question that "The Mike Reimer" case will not be included in the Stack episodes at this time...two notes of bad news just from reading the UM facebook, haha!

Let's keep some perspective here - 3 months ago we had zero RSUM available (and before that no hope of it ever being available), and now people keep chomping at the bit for the next season to be posted.

There are now years worth of episodes available to watch, and I've been savoring each one on its own.

Uh they have released all of the Farina seasons so yeah people are excited to get the Stack seasons. Nothing wrong with that.

I wonder why they aren't including it? That case is one of the most fascinating/creepiest in all of UM history as far as I'm concerned. Possibly their daughter requested it not be made available?

I know they found Mike's skull a few years ago, and I guess the case was re-opened, could that be it?

You're probably right, though I haven't looked into the case's status. From what I recall, there wasn't a patent way of determining whether he had killed himself or been murdered based on the bullet hole in his skull.

It reminds me a bit of the Jamison family disappearance in Missouri from several years back.

Uh they have released all of the Farina seasons so yeah people are excited to get the Stack seasons. Nothing wrong with that.

No one said there was anything wrong with it. However, the Farina seasons were pretty much ready to go as-is. They didn't have any edits or updates made, to my knowledge. It was just a matter of putting them out there. There's more work involved in preparing the Stack seasons for release. And, given the unevenly staggered release schedule so far, I'd say we're getting them as they become available and ready.

Does anyone know why the Tallman Ghost segment isn't being released for streaming?

Just saw this response on the UM Facebook page from someone asking about it....

It's probably due to the request of the family. There's a lot of articles online (I think some were posted here recently) that talk about what a circus the whole things became in the area. There's nothing that can be done for the family now, and I imagine they'd like discussion of it to go away.

I'm still sad it's not included, though.

The family denying the segment doesn't make any sense. Do they not want the case solved? Someone could come forward with information now a days.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Mike's skull.

There is nothing wrong with someone asking when the next season will be available but from the other poster it seems people should just wait & not ask questions.

Anyway doesn't matter cause any questions about upcoming seasons I will just look on there facebook page.

I'm not sure if the poster you quoted was talking about the Tallman ghost segment mentioned in the post above theirs or the Mike Reimer case. I read the post as being about the Tallman ghost segment, but I could be wrong.

What he means is that they have to physically work on the series. They have to edit, add updates, clean the picture up, etc etc. They have to do alot of work to get these out quick, so it's bratty to complain about a 2-3 week lapse given the work they're doing for a show few care about.

We should just be happy they're coming period, and be grateful someone is putting some effort in. They could just say screw it, and release nothing.

Having some gratitude and patience for a company releasing a 30-year old show for a small cult group of fans is just being pleasant

That segment was released with the Ghost DVD pack in 2005.

It would seem pretty odd that the family had no issue with that 17 years after the segment first aired but suddenly have a problem with it being streamed online 29 years after their story aired.

There must be some other reason.

Well, that depends. The release of the segment on the DVD box set might not have required the family's sign off while the streaming release would have.

Most TV contracts at the time the segment originally aired would have most likely given Cosgrove-Meurer Productions the right to release the content on home video (which meant VHS at the time but would have covered DVD as well), but streaming is treated as a completely different release channel than home video under the eyes of distribution law.

WOW... :eek:

Time to go back into lurk mode....

Sorry I said anything.

In terms of the Mike Riemer episode, I may have figured out why it's not being included. I was listening to a podcast on the case ("The Trail Went Cold," if anyone's interested), and the host mentioned that the Riemer segment had been originally part of a summer special that aired after the end of the season, so there could be either an issue with licensing or it's just an accuracy thing.

WOW... :eek:

No no. I really wasn't trying to be rude!

One thing that stands out to me is their name being attached to the segment despite their request for anonymity. At the time the segment aired, they requested that actors portrayed them and that their interviews be filmed in silhouette, yet they were okay with their names being used. In the 1980s, this may have been somewhat adequate protection from outside harassment or people contacting them.

However, in this day and age, people can still find them relatively easily by their unique name. I wonder if the segment being released on DVD and also perhaps being shown in syndication on Lifetime for years prompted some people to try to locate and/or contact the Tallmans. In response to that, they requested the segment be pulled. Interestingly, it wasn't Farina-ized either.

Regarding Reimer not being shown: it has been years since I watched it, but didn't the original segment imply that he had a hand in Diana's death? Now that his skull has been found, perhaps the waters are muddied as to the degree to his involvement (or non-involvement) so the authorities just don't want anything out there that implies one theory over another? Just a guess.

Gulf Breeze UFO, Face on Mars, Mark Groezinger, Baskin Children and Tra Callico are all missing as well

I wouldn't say they are releasing it just for a small cult following...the purpose of them getting the rights is obviously to make money, more than off of a cult few. I think there is much more of a following to UM than we realize...we are just the ones who still follow it after all of these years a little more religiously than most. There are still countless of fans out there who, once they realize it is available for streaming, will be into it again, tell their friends, etc.. Right now in the media, there is a demand for "nostalgia", and I think this series plays into a lot of peoples "childhood nightmare" causing TV shows, which many would gladly revisit and, which I'm sure FilmRise already realizes, which is why they took a gamble with it.

All of that, and you ignoring the rest of my post aside, it's still a work in progress. Obviously they're releasing the show for money, but they're still working on it. What I'm saying is before this it was the chopped n' screwed Farina episodes, and a few uneven DVDs, the original episodes weren't easy accessible.

It's easy to stomp your feet and "demand" that they give it to you now, but life isn't always that easy. It's bratty and childish to get in a huff over 2-3 weeks for a show that is currently being re-edited. If they were just throwing out bare bone episodes, then I wouldn't blame you.

Anyone know when season 4 will be available???
My prediction for the Season 4 release date is somewhere between Monday April 3rd and Friday April 7th.

Here is how I figured that out:

December 14th, 2016-UM is coming to streaming announcement
January 21st, 2017-UM Season 1 is released
Total Wait Time-37 Days

February 7th, 2017-UM Season 2 is released
March 6th, 2017-UM Season 3 is released
Total Wait Time-27 Days

Average Wait Time-32 Days (I did not factor in the wait time from Season 1 to Season 2 because it is only 17 days aka an outliar)

32 Days from March 6th equals Friday April 7th

Also, when someone asked "The Official UM Facebook Page" when Season 2 was getting released they replied on February 27th that Season 2 will get released in 2 to 3 weeks. However that Season came out only 6 days later!!!!

Today, someone asked when Season 4 would be released and the response was "2 to 3 more weeks" which makes me think that Season 4 will be released on Monday April 3rd.

Season 4 is Marie Hilley yes? Long wait for my queen Sharon.

The lost love segments are really starting to get me. I guess I'm getting soft in my old age. In season 3 the episode that has Kenneth Stanton on it. There is a great lost love segment before he is featured. and then only UM can go from a heart-felt segment to the "got milk" face to bring you back down.

They did a good job during the original run of balancing the segments, and the Lost Love cases worked as sort of a palate cleanser after watching a reenactment of someone being brutally attacked. I can appreciate this formula again now that we have the episodes in their original glory. I think that for years many of us have been watching Wanted and Missing Persons (unofficial) collections back-to-back

This was why I always appreciated the Lost Love segments, even as a kid. On a show that featured so many good people who had been through hell, it was nice to see other folks who got to have some happiness and closure.

those wacky Wackers will also be in Season 4 I think

When is Judith Hymes? I need to steel myself for that one.... or was it on Season 3 and I just haven't gotten there yet?

Absolutely. And as dynoguy pointed out I as well enjoyed the lost love cases back then. I just think now as an adult I get more out of it as what I did then.

And it is nostalgic because back in those days it really was difficult to find lost loved even when both parties were searching for one another.

It is season 3 towards end somewhere. I just watched it over the weekend.

It's on the episode with the "War of the Depues" segment. Probably around episode 18 or so.

I read that the Tara Calico case aired in 89, but I didn't see it in first or second season.

Was it omitted or did I just miss it?

those wacky Wackers will also be in Season 4 I think

Season 6

I hope the Bruno & Bobo case is not on it. I just...I cannot handle that case. Its too sad for me. I know the seals were obviously not shot or injured in any way filming, and it was before I was born so of course they're probably passed away by now but...I just can't take it.

I can't fault your statistical analysis, and I hope you're right about today being the day. Seasons 2 & 3 were both uploaded in the late afternoon (sometime between 5-7pm Eastern) on the days that they were released.
