Okay, I need help remembering a segment (if this even existed). I distinctly remember back when Lifetime aired 2 UM episodes in their prime time slots in the summer of the early 00s (I think it was 7-9 p.m. M-F and then they aired a movie at 9) seeing a segment of a wanted man, who was wanted for "kidnapping" a mother and her young children. I use kidnapping in quotes because from what I remember, the man was the boyfriend of the mother, and they had gotten into an argument (he was verbally abusive), and he drove them across state lines all the while arguing and refusing to let them go. He eventually dropped them off and disappeared. IIRC, that was the only thing he was wanted for and I seem to remember this case popping up on here years ago as being one that was pointlessly made because they eventually found the guy and the statute of limitations had ran out. It seemed odd that Lifetime would rerun that segment.

Granted, I could be confusing this with a scene from a Lifetime movie or a random AMW segment (although I rarely ever watched this show), but I am 90% certain that this was a UM segment. Anyone know which one it is?

I don't know if this is the one you're looking for, but it's the only one I can think of: https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Tony_DeCompo

I recall seeing this one on Lifetime in early 2000s.

Yes! This is it! Thank you!

I was wracking my brain for days and searching the UM Wiki and couldn't find it.

Thanks for the post title, I had forgotten what the Mandela Effect meant, you made me google it and I ended up reading some very interesting articles on the subject.

No problem! According to one of the links in the wiki I was trying to find it myself a few years ago. :lol: All I remembered at that time was that the guy pretended to be deaf/mute.
