Judging from the information that I read at the Forensic Files web site (forensicfiles.com), it looks to me that the show will be airing an episode about the murder of Dorothy Donovan. The FF web site doesn't mention Dorothy Donovan (or her son Charles Holden) by name, but the details given were an indication that the upcoming episode "Stranger In the Night" is about that case.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the case, Dorothy Donovan was found stabbed to death in her Delaware home in 1991. Her son, Charles Holden, told the cops about a hitchhiker he had picked up that night, but soon ditched when the man became violent. Soon afterwards, Charles spotted the man walking in the direction to Dorothy's residence. The cops were understandably suspicious of that story, until evidence found at the crime scene excluded Charles as the perpetrator.
The UM segment originally aired at the end of the 1994-95 season. Years later, a man named Gilbert Cannon was linked to the murder through DNA. He is currently in prison for the crime, serving a life sentence.
The FF episode is scheduled to air at 9:00 pm (Eastern Time) on Friday, December 19. Don't miss it!
