Horribly SAD moments on UM

[DALLASTEXAN!!]

Jacqueline Vasquez's disappearance. watching the pain in her mother's eyes is very hard. that is one of the most real moments caught on UM, the part where Jacqueline's mom and Morgan Nick's mom are consoling one another always makes me sad.

Kevin Hughes. there are a lot of segments from the early seasons that bothered me as a kid, but this one carries over to adulthood. I get really sad and disappointed that such a great hearted person was brutally murdered because of blatant fraud and a performing arts industry that was allowed to be so corrupt. and here we are in 2024 where IDK if enough has changed.

Roxanne/Christopher Jeeves, now that this is solved I find myself unable to watch this segment.

Amy Bechtel, I feel heartbroken that she has never been found.

Lisa Marie Kimmel, watching the pain in her mother's eyes is really sad. I am very thankful that Lisa's mom posted here before. the latest thread that I read a post from her was in an Amy Bechtel thread.

She’s a very sweet lady. And the pain is still evident in her eyes just as it was decades ago.

This is a segment as kid that was a little scary. But as an adult when you think about all Lisa went through while being captured by that monster, it makes me sick to my stomach. Murder is already horrible enough. I can’t wrap my brain around the multiple days of torture before doing the killing. Thank God Eaton is no longer on this planet.

I forget the name but there was this one Lost Love case where a father was trying to find his daughter he lost after WWII, I think he left it with the mother and the mother left it in the care of some woman in the neighborhood who in turn put it up for adoption, he never found her and it turned out she was killed in a car bombing by a jealous ex-Boyfriend in the 50s or 60s I believe. That one really bummed me out.

Joe Schambier. That was a really sad finding.

Dwayne McCorkendale's murder is really sad. A good man trying to provide for his family cut down for less than $20. I feel terrible for his family and his wife showed a lot of courage in her interview on the UM segment.

I’m glad too. While there’s no such thing as closure, I always hoped desperately that Gord was able to know some happiness in the years following the crime. Hearing that he met someone and fell in love makes me really happy.

But seriously, the Blind River Rest Stop has long been my “Nope. Can’t even!” case. Not just because it proves that for all the silly UFO and ghost cases, UM could do a damn good low-budget horror short, but also because of the absolute, raw pain carved out on Gord’s face. When he says he wishes he’d died that night with his wife, you’d have to have a heart of stone to keep from bawling.

So like I said, finding out that he met someone and fell in love…

It's been awhile since I posted but... The segment about Mabel's Dog kennel being lit on fire is sad. And it's just so cruel. Plus I believe she died in a Nursing home. Without knowing who killed the Dogs....Megan Curler's segment. She went out to go Dancing and was tied to a Bed and lit on fire. It's so barbaric. And I think she was intellectually or mentally disabled. So it's possible she was an easy target. Someone who does that isn't going to stop.

Pedro Santiago Jnr - the young boy who was killed in a hit and run after going out to show his friend his new toy.

Laura Frankland/Delia Fazzani - Delia was forced to give up Laura when she was born by her domineering father. After Delia and Laura reunited thanks to UM, it doesn't seem that they formed a relationship, and Laura died in her 50s in 2019. From what she said in the segment, it seems as though Laura was happy with her adopted parents and was not much interested in her birth mother. I feel sad for Delia.

The one about the grandmother who died after being hit by a car whilst crossing the street on her way to a diner with her granddaughter. Her granddaughter was incorrectly told by a nurse that her grandmother was in a stable condition, but she had actually passed away. The granddaughter was trying to find a woman that helped her and stayed with her at the hospital.

Oliver Munson's brother, James as the segment draws to a close. Oh my goodness. That poor guy is just broken. It's all he can do to get his volume up to be able to say the words. The way he pleads to just know SOMETHING, no matter how small it may be. Heartbreaking isn't even the word. If James is still with us, I hope he is doing well.

Agreed. I won’t watch that segment anymore. If it comes on, I FF. Also the one about the baby beaten to death in Oklahoma. It’s just too angering.

Gail Delano. I remember the segment, and rewatching it years later, it's heartbreaking to see that the poor lady had serious mental health issues. She was lonely, and desperate for love, but people like that are often think that a relationship will cure them. More often than not, it won't, because you bring whatever issues you have into the relationship.

Also, RS' sympathy for the family expressed on air was one of his classiest moments.

Annie Laurie Hearin. Hearing that she's never been found, and seeing her son's heartfelt wish for his mother to be returned. I just rewatched that segment, and right now, the possible kidnapping of "Today Show" NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie's mother Nancy Guthrie is all over the media, including a heartfelt plea from Savannah and her siblings on Instagram for the kidnapper to reach out.

Annie Laurie Hearin and Nancy Guthrie have so many similarities.

* Both elderly women (Annie 74, Nancy 84)
* Both very frail (Annie Laurie was frail and Nancy has limited mobility)
* Both families tormented by the kidnappers' sadistic games (a ransom note regarding Nancy Guthrie was sent to TMZ reportedly, not to the family, pr even to NBC News where Savannah Guthrie works)
* Both in need of medication
* Both from prominent families, with Nancy's daughter Savannah obviously being a celebrity
* Bizarre demands (the twelve people named in the Hearin note and the demand for the ransom for Nancy Guthrie in crypto)

yeah, I agree. I'm only seeing this post now. didn't realize Eaton died? Or am I mistaken? I think I just posted about him in another worst of thread.

Me too, I hate to think she suffered in her final moments/days(we don't know the exactly circumstances of her death) without food/water or access to her medication. All we can hope now is her remains are found so she can be laid to rest to her now late husband.

Amen. The guy that was arrested and went to prison for the kidnapping, Wynn, died. He never revealed where Annie Laurie Hearin's body was or what happened to her. Special place in hell for him.

We can only hope that Nancy Guthrie is recovered.
