If you could pick one segment that would benefit from the new 1hour format of the reboot which segment would it be?

Philip Fraser. I'm surprised that the hitchhiker was never caught

I'm not big on reboots, but the Morris Davis murder needs a re-do. The original segment was omitted from the FilmRise reboot due to the false lead on the supposed murder weapon that took up half of the segment.

Tim Molnar: He's been found, but how did he turn up in a block of ice so far from his home? The original segment was very short because he was still missing.

Mike Riemer/Diana Robertson: Mike's also been found, clearing up part of the mystery, but their daughter deserves answers about what happened.

Mike Cline: It may be too late, so many potential witnesses wouldn't be able to be interviewed, bu this guy being on the run for 50+ years is infuriating.

That being said, 50 minutes is a bit long. I kind of hope the show would consider splitting episodes in two since it can drag focusing on one case the whole show.

The murders of Doreen Picard, Barbara Jean Horn, and Harold & Thelma Swain are three cases in which a perpetrator was convicted the crime after the original UM segments aired, but their convictions have since been overturned and the respective defendants released from prison.

I'd like to see UM produce updated episodes about these stories which explore all the new developments.

the Sneha Philip case would be good. The original segment was not very good and missed too many crucial aspects of that case.

The Doreen Picard segment I could see being a bad idea. Donald Degasse the person that more likely did it died some years back. UM really focused away from him despite the fact that Beaver would visit Susan in the hospital

Tammy Leppert! They could delve further into her mom's stage mother antics, the mom's potentially inappropriate relationship with "Wing Flanagan," that serial killer who was stalking female models in FL during that era (Christopher Wilder), and the movie productions.

I totally believe that she did run into Foul Play and some form or the other and I do think that Christopher Wilder had something to do with it in the whole family sort of in denial over it.

The Orange Sock Murders

(or alternately, the Dexter Stafonek Murder)

All good choices, folks!

I'd like to throw in a mention to my old friend Paul Pollis. I'd love to see his reaction when a team of investigators show up at his home in Ohio and start asking questions about Charlotte Pollis again....

The murder of Don Smith. I think that deserves a fresh new set of eyes and some publicity.

Good call. Plus, that could be another fun re-enactment. :)

The Orange Sock Murders

(or alternately, the Dexter Stafonek Murder)

Absolutely! those would be at the top of my list because they seem likely to be solved if there is a new lead or pressure put on law enforcement to relook.

My add will be Patsy Wright. This is a case that should generate more publicity in North Texas than what it does, it is all but forgotten there and regeneration could help pick up new leads and pressure on Arlington. I feel like a 40 min segment with more details of Patsy's circumstances during that time would lead to more credible tips being brought forward.

The cases share some similarities. Two teenage boys who went off to have fun. One ended up dead and one is missing/possibly dead. There are witnesses who probably know what really happened but refused to talk or told bizarre stories where perhaps the truth lies somewhere in those stories. They're perfect for the new UM format.
