I have a particular niche for Lifetime reruns!
Anyone have in their Unsolved Mysteries collection the segments of Nyleen Marshall,Bill Rundle,Kari Lynn Nixon,Kristi Krebs,Dale Kerstetter,Patricia Carlton, Trenchcoat Robbers,segments(or any other I didn't mention) with the Lifetime update at the end(blue smoke background,update typed out,creepy theme music playing)?
Or record Lifetime reruns from 1997-2006?

The segments you mention are included in the FilmRise streaming versions.
For example:
Nyleen Marshall - Season 3, Episode 10
Bill Rundle - Season 12, Episode 1
Kari Lynn Nixon - Season 1, Episode 24
Kristi Krebs - Season 7, Episode 10
Dale Kerstetter - Season 2, Episode 5
Patricia Carlton - Season 5, Episode 5
Trenchcoat Robbers (aka the Valley Bank Robbery) - Season 4, Episode 19
I am less sure about where the Lifetime-specific versions can be found. Personally I am more concerned about just having the main segments in some form.
I have more or less given up on collecting all of the updates (aside from the ones I already have). For a few reasons:
1. For some cases there are multiple updates. So the information featured in the first update (or even the second, etc) is out-of-date.
2. It can be very difficult (even impossible) to determine which update you have when there are multiple. Unless you have the full/original/uncut broadcast episodes for comparison (which do not exist anymore in many cases).
3. The main advantage of the FilmRise versions (aside from improved picture quality over VHS captures) is that they truly make an effort to ensure that each case is being actively updated. They go so far as to actually go into YouTube and update the existing episodes periodically when there are new updates.
Each YouTube season (except for 6 oddly enough) has at least one updated episode compared to when they were originally updated to YouTube almost 10 years ago (roughly 2016-2017).
One question I have is whether FilmRise also does this for the streaming versions provided on other platforms such as Amazon Prime. Somehow I doubt it; there is a similar phenomenon for World's Wildest Police Videos, where FilmRise has gradually uploaded previously missing episodes to YouTube but not other platforms it seems.
