Which segments make you well up tears every time?

That made me very sad too.

I agree with justin on Patti English. Xuan Van Nguyen also comes to mind.

I also choke up during the portion of the Kathy Hobbs segment when her mother tearfully says, "And she was also a very good friend, as well as being my daughter."

Gilbert Ortiz. Mostly knowing the aftermath

Gilbert seemed like such a nice guy. I hate that he's experienced so much abuse in his life.

Exactly my thoughts, Meg

Listening to Jared Dirickson, talking about how he and his dad were always together

[WishfulDreamer]

Always, Karen, the segment about the young woman who died of cancer. She and her parents considered themselves the Three Musketeers. When the daughter was in a coma and the dad says, "We understand if you need to go. We'll always be the Three Musketeers" I always start crying. I can't watch this one very often

[TheCars1986]

Matt and Wendy Jameson

Because nothing like that will ever happen to me, so I weep.

[Mike82]

Two that come to mind are the Kansas City firefighters (especially the part with the unanswered radio calls) and Matt Flores, particularly when they show his little girl, who was only a baby at the time. That this has never been solved even with that $100,000 (in 1994) reward and the killing makes zero rational sense makes it even sadder.

[Street Novelist]

Jenny Pratt...a damn shame

[ramirez412001]

LaHarriet Wade/Nikki Crowder - Sharita Harding..."the promise" scene and the update.

I can't remember the person's name, but there was an older person, who would play Santa Claus on the radio, that was looking for his daughter that he had to give up for adoption.

At the end of the segment, Robert Stack gives the heart breaking update that she was killed in a silo explosion when she was 18, and grew up believing both of her birth parents were deceased.

Hopefully they're together again, where ever they are.

Joe Schambier. That was really sad, and I felt so bad for him. It wasn't a silo explosion, it was actually a car bombing. Her estranged husband rigged his car with explosives and it killed him, her, and another person that was nearby.

Baby Jane Doe - I was so happy when they caught the mother but still every time I see this case it really gets to me
