Saddest Updates

I can't recall if it was on Lifetime or NBC. However, I never saw it again and whenever I caught the episode in reruns they always had the first update saying that Craig had been located and reunited with his wife and that more information would be forthcoming.

Yes, they ended up reuniting but Craig didn't remember his life with Christine and he had no feelings for her anymore. It was really sad because Christine went through so much to find him and then ended up being disappointed in the end. At least she did find him and has closure with the whole thing.

That was Gayle Delano. This one made me both sad and angry. I won't speak ill of the dead so I'll leave it at that.

Bill Day....I cannot even imagine his grief. To look for your child all that time and come to find out, he's died. Just thinking about the case makes me sad all over again.

There was a lost loves case involving a woman looking for her twin sister who she was seperated from as a young child. The update said that her twin had actually died not long before the UM segment aired. There was some good to come from it because the woman got to meet her sister's kids and everything.

It hasn't aired yet an may never air on these new UM shows. The Baskins case. I hope at some point, the kids (well they're not kids anymore) will speak to their parents.

I hope Betty Day was punished for kidnapping their son all those years. The unsolved mysteries update didn't mention whether or not she was punished.

I would dearly love to know what happened to Betty Day and if she was prosecuted at all. I felt so sorry for Bill Day when I saw that the update(think it was text only) mentioned his son had died of leukemia years before. I think for that alone, not telling his father that his son had died, Betty Day needs to be punished.

Ironically, Betty Day was only charged with passport fraud. She was not charged with parental kidnapping because she was still the custodial parent and she was never served with the court papers that gave custody to Bill as she had fled the country and because she was never served with the papers, by Maryland law she could not be charged with parental kidnapping.

rachael runyon i dont even want to comment on it beyond that absolutely horrible.

I thought the update on the woman who was looking for her paternal half sister was sad because the sister had passed away.

Does anyone know how Bill Day is doing today? Just out of curiosity? And what happened after he discovered his son died?

I think for me...The end of the Brook Baker story was sad. Her mother was so mad and she had a passion for justice and then when it was updated...she looked like her life was over. She no longer had that passion...she was just existing. I found that to be so sad. How hard it must be for a parent to lose their child in such a brutal was.

The missing woman, Doe Roberts, was found buried in her neighbor's property, one year after she vanished. Her neighbor was eventually found guilty, and was sentenced to life in prison.

I don't think she was raped just killed. The killer who was an pretty old man was after money. He tried to blackmail the husband saying his wife was still alive...
