They aired the Rudolph Case on UM at 8pm ET tonight(originally aired on June 12th, 2002) anyway, they DID NOT update the case to say he had been caught! This really bothers me!:mad: :mad: :mad:

Yeah, that sucks.

It's probably because Lifetime doesn't care much anymore about Unsolved Mysteries since they know they are dumping the show so they probably just don't feel like updating it.

If they don't update a huge national story like that then what's the chances of them updating a story of some nobody who is killed or missing? ZERO

Look at the upcoming UM episodes, Lifetime is slowly cutting back on the number of airings(especially towards the end of the month)

I personally think that if Lifetime or whoever picks up the show to air then they have a responsibilty to stay on top of the updates because afterall, its not FICTION. Their not like old Twighlight Zone reruns, they are important to people's LIVES. I dont know who the blame should fall upon, Lifetime or UM producers???

I think Lifetime will be the end for UM. I bet in a year UM is no longer on Lifetime, probably sooner.

Well, the thought is a motivator to start recording our favorite segments then.

I have taped every UM episode since I started watching the series again in July...

brent88,

If you have taped every episode since July, would it be possible for me to talk to you about getting a couple of specific episodes from you at some point? Thanks.

This is why I always enter the victims', etc. names into search engines, even when UM shows an update, because most of the times there is sooooo much more fascinating information about the cases that UM doesn't have the time (or TV rating) to show. Too bad for fans that don't have internet access.

But it's such a bummer when there's no internet info on certain cases I want to know more about. This is REALLY true when the case is very old and/or cold. Unless it involves missing/murdered children, because people never give up seeking justice for them no matter how long ago the crime happened.
