I don't like anyone in the Bonnie Wilder segment. Too conceited, too yuppie-ish.

I liked Vicki Boczma a lot. I didn't really care for Lisa Penz--not so much for her comments on Bonnie's weight (however insensitive), but because she was quick to give an excuse and otherwise refuse to own up to the fact that she apparently did not have a thorough reference and background check done on Bonnie. It wasn't her fault Bonnie committed the crimes, but it WAS her fault she didn't exhaustively check her out, period. Even if "the response was terrible", that was her job and she didn't do it.

That being said, I really hope Bonnie didn't steal her identity, as was theorized.

I doubt she did. Had she done this, I would imagine she would have been found sooner than she did.

IMO, Lisa in the Bonnie Wilder segment was doing herself no favors, imo. She came off so badly that I found myself disliking her more than the actual criminal!

I just saw the John Roubas segment for the first time recently, and I must say that I did not like "Richard," the ex Roubas associate who was interviewed in silhouette.

At one point, the possibility of whether or not Roubas faked his death is being discussed, and at one point the law enforcement officer being interviewed says "I'm confident that Roubas could have faked his death."

Immediately following that statement, we cut to Richard, who says "it's not that he COULD HAVE pulled it off, he DID pull it off."

Frankly, I don't care if he does know what he's talking about, it is still extremely condescending (as well as one of my major pet peeves in real life) for someone to take your words and throw them back at you like that.

Ida Prewitt wins this hands down. Not only was it obvious she killed 3 innocent people including a 6 year old but you could just tell she had pure hatred just seething out of her pores. Plus her double negative confession lol "we did not have nothing to do with their disappearance ".

Of course no one deserves to have a loved one die in such a horrific fashion, nor was what happened his fault at all. But under the circumstances of why the missed date was made in the first place, I found his actions pretty disrespectful and thoughtless. I agree: he was a super jerk.

Yeah, I always felt the same thing about Dan. Not that his actions by themselves were that bad, but the context bothers me. Obviously he had no idea what was going to happen to her the next night, but you'd naturally think if they had gotten into an argument the night before (no matter how minor...it's the principle that counts), he'd have put a little more effort into making up with Carolyn, as opposed to drinking with his buddies and staying out.

I'm certainly not saying he was a horrible guy (I'm sure he wasn't), but definitely a bit of a jerk and probably one of those guys who aren't very attentive to their wives/girlfriends. While having drinks with friends isn't that bad in itself, it's more how inconsiderate he was being about it.

Diane Strom - While I understand being angry at whomever hurt Jenny (not to mention that scumbag Curtis Croft), and saddened about what happened to her, I couldn't stand her snippy, negative attitude. This is way more evident on the Telecenter special 3 years later, in which she cuts down the show's ability to catch the suspects while talking to Stack; and even rudely shushes and cuts off Jenny. Can we say anger management?

Vernon Kelly - One of the strangest interviews. What I mean is that, he talked more like a know it all, wannabe police investigator than a grieving father. I'm not saying he had to be crying all over the place, but it's ironic that on one hand he was so cold to Christi (i.e. not even letting her attend Todd's funeral) and unwaveringly certain she took some part in his murder, yet didn't display any emotion or even a connection to Todd himself. He just came off like one of those obnoxious people who has to be right, rather than trying to get justice for Todd.

The skeptic in the spontaneous human combustion segment - this guy just seemed extremely full of himself and unlikable. Just the kind of people who never can admit to being wrong.

Ida Prewitt - dictionary definition of a grumpy old hag. Even if she hadn't been an accomplice to murders (of course, that's far more severe), she came across as extremely rude and dislikable.

Diane Strom, mother of Jenny Pratt. Something about her just didn't sit right with me...

Robert Pasciuto, Bonnie Haim's father. It's bad enough he is completely ignorant of the fact his daughter was murdered, but it's even worse when he goes on national television and smiles and smirks like a complete dumbass about it. Man, when he picks up the clue phone, he's going to get an earful. I would have loved to see that full interview.

To put this into perspective, when even the suspect's own family as well as a 3 year old know better, you know that person has to be pretty dumb.

What was truly baffling about this situation was that Michael was also accused (again by his own family) of being abusive towards Bonnie. Even if Bonnie's father genuinely thought that Michael had nothing to do with her disappearance, you'd think the abuse allegations would make him not want to go out on television to defend his son-in-law on general principle. There was no indication presented in the segment that the abuse allegations were false.

Most fathers are not going to openly support someone accused of abusing their daughter, no matter what the circumstances. I don't know, I just got a weird vibe from the guy, like he was one of those backwards-thinking males who thinks that everything is the woman's fault.

not only that, but he had the gall to openly suggest that Bonnie had run out on the marriage and abandoned their young son and was off in a polygamous marriage somewhere.

I'd like to see him go through the car wash without his car.

I honestly think her father desperately wanted to believe she was alive and well, hence why his answers would come off as odd or cold. I think he didn't want to accept the fact that his daughter was dead, so created some alternate reality where there was a chance she was still alive, and that's what he chose to believe. I don't blame the guy, I just think it was wishful thinking.

I wonder what he thought of the alleged abuse Michael inflicted on Bonnie? Or the car seat being pushed back. He didn't have a bad thing to say about his in-law, but trashed his own daughter on t.v. It was revolting.

In some of the unsolved murder cases/unexplained deaths usually the law enforcement seemed pretty harsh on air towards the families. In some cases they were ok and not rude and families were kind of rude to law enforcement sometimes but I understand why when they've lost someone they love.

One case is the ellender murders. I thought the detective was wrong for saying "at first I felt sorry for him". Talking about the father who was trying to solve the murder on his own.
